Children and mid 20s-40, the type of person I enjoy working with is someone I can have a good conversation with but equally share our work and complete a successful task together.

Routine

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

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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

An up and down road, I grew up in a Christian school and church but when my family moved I fell off of my belief. Once my dad past away I went down a dark path and then became extremely strong in my faith but then went to college and fell off again, I have now beginning to grow what I believe is a true and strong relationship with God for what genuinely feels like the first time. It is amazing

When my grandparents first took me to church with them, not so much for the fellowship but so I could be reintroduced to the faith

Moving to Kentucky on my own and being able to break from any bad and not ideal situations for me mentally. Gaining my own independence

Having my child and becoming a mother, learning the love that I have for him gave me a taste for how God loves us. Gives perspective to the idea of a good father.

Growing up with a mentally ill mother and having to deal with her leaving and emotional issues

My father passing away and dealing with the familial after math and drama that came associated with it.

My family questioning my life and the decisions I have made, it does still cause doubts but I am not taking my decisions I make lightly and I wish they would understand.

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. To help students understand what they want and are called to do in life, show them it’s okay to have obstacles

4. become debt free, purchase a house and set aside money for Mason’s education

5. have a wedding that we can afford and are happy with and having both sides of our family get along in a loving way.
