Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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 brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Hindsight, God was softening my heart for about 6 months. I was in a discipleship group & gave my life to Jesus as I did my “home work”

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

Nursery, small group leader, Faith Assembly of God Hazleton Pa. maybe for 2 years.

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

My friend Ginger. We have been friends for over 20 years. Next to Jesus she is my best friend. She’s compassionate, has a servants heart & is led by the Spirit.

I would say my growing up. I had a rough childhood but it “made me” compassionate, caring, a good listener, etc.

Moving to Virginia. I believe God “moved me here” it has been healing, given me a new purpose (here is where I became a CNA).

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:

Stated above.

My marriage. It was a tough 25 years. He was not a born again Christian, things slowly got worse after I became born again. It ended with him addicted to porn & having an affair. I definitely have compassion for that struggle.

I have a birth defect that is not noticeable to most people. As a child I felt like I was only that defect. It taught me to love the whole person, to be compassionate.

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. Be connected with more Christian women.

4. I’d love to be involved in fostering children again.

5. To give myself COMPLETELY to God to do what He wills.
