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.

Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was approached about being baptized during my years in middle school but wasn’t ready because I was scared of getting up in front of everyone in church and also because I can’t swim I was very afraid of drowning. During my freshman year of high school God started working on my heart and one evening while working on my homework with my friend and also neighbor God came into my heart and I was baptized the very next night at 9:30 pm but ended up still having to get up in front of church that Sunday morning to receive my baptism certificate and Bible.

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. Being able to give a little more at times than what I currently can.

4. Working on me and overcoming some hurts to possibly move to serving more.

5. Not really sure, but just trying to be obedient and see where and what God wants me to do.
