College Student

Working in Avocado factory.

I don’t really know except I think I can be someone who tends to try and take initiative.

I once gave a bible lesson to others about ways God speak to people but besides that I have never taught anything of the such.

I feel that my ability to try and give up my time to help others when they need is a valuable asset.

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

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

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

[E]xperience

My parents divorced, and I was in a rough spot. I had strong anxiety and decided I could either turn to God or myself and chose God. He’s been with me through everything. I could go on, but this is a very brief account. Additionally, I grew up in a Christian household but it was my parents’ divorce that really challenged my worldview.

I served in Channel of Blessings for many years in Jubilee Church. We helped give food to people who couldn’t afford it and also taught classes about Jesus to them.

Usher at Jubilee Church.

I once taught a lesson at a Baptist Church my school was a part of.

Meeting people like my highschool friends, and my university friends like Kaleo, John, Edward, Kris, Justus, etc. (I love those guys so much!)

God healed me from my extreme anxiety attacks. I suffered a lot, but Christ healed me and I will NEVER forget that. He is always with me.

I lived with my grandparents for a year and that made me who I am today.

I suffered a lot when my parents split up. I look back, thanking God it happened, but it was rough and helped me grow as an individual.

I experienced two breakups with girlfriends which helped shape how I view relationships, both romantic and friendships, and how I should view my relationship with Jesus Christ.

I was homeless for a bit and then we had to move in with my grandparents. I know this is similar to the positive experience but it was both good and bad. I learned to rely more on God for my future and honestly, I feel pretty confident that God takes care of me.

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. Honestly, I would love to go around the world and meet knew friends and share the gospel. That is a dream goal.

4. I would help out others around my own community with giving food and shelter to those around me.

5. I would try and create more technology to better communicate to languages I don’t know so I could spread the gospel. As an electrical engineer in training, it has been at the back of my mind for this whole time.
