Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I accepted the Lord in Kindergarten at the end of a chapel service. My parents left the church, but I continued to attend, going with friends and neighbors. My parents eventually came back when I was in high school, when I mentioned how church was full of families, yet I didn’t have mine there. I got more serious in my faith in college, through Intervarsity, then the college group at my church.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Sunday School helper-Calvary Chapel Oro Valley-2 years

Sunday School helper Calvary Chapel Fredericksburg, VA-3 years

MOPS leadership-Spotsylvania Baptist Church in VA-2 years

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Living all across the U.S. as a former military spouse for 15 years made me more independent.

My college small group friends and I are still friends. We met all through college doing various Bible studies.

God gave me my heart’s desire to become a mom. This has helped me with my teaching greatly.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Divorce in 2017

Church “expulsion” for standing up for scripture in 2000 in GA with my former spouse. Later discovered the pastor had a history of doing this, in various churches in the south. It sure hurt, though. Makes me cautious to get involved in church, though I know I need to.

Watching my siblings not live for Christ and for self made me see how not to live.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would get back to counseling women save their unborn babies like I did in college.

4. Go on missionary trips like I used to do!
