#1 Gift, Serving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This is where I have had the most experience.

#2 Gift, Administration (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy clerical/secretarial work and accomplished that in the secular arena. I have had the opportunity of some leadership roles in church activities in the past.

#3 Gift, Giving (56%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
We have (as a couple) given to the best of our ability in money, time and service. We have also been the recipients of the “giving” of others. When service needs have become known to me personally, I have stepped up if possible; giving generally has been fulfilling a material or service need in the form of helping, preparing or clean up, transport, etc.

[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Completion of craft, sewing, needlework projects, puzzles…accomplishment

2. Providing for and fulfilling a need for someone that helps them out (ie. doing household chores/watching children while this individual had to run errands and take care of an ill spouse). I do sometimes struggle with balancing my own home life and needs at the expense of helping another.

3. Hosting a successful gathering.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Depending on the circumstances, I think I can “love to work with” just about anyone; I can’t say that I have a particular age of type group.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I can’t say that I honestly know what is open or at issue presently within the church; however, after being so heavily involved with the Corona Worship Center, it has been nice to take a break and enjoy the Sunday services without responsibility.

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

After experiencing youth retreats and church services with a high school friend, I went forward during the worship service and accepted Christ as my personal savior. Several years later I met my husband and became more involved with the church as a whole and I was baptized.

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

Hilltown Baptist Church, Hilltown, PA 1980-1999

Calvary Church, Delta, PA 2000-2013

Santa Rita Community Church/Corona Worship Center, Corona de Tucson, AZ
2013-2018

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

Marriage

Birth of Children

Parents who have been together for 63 years and in-laws who had been together 60+ years as well.

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:

Conversations with my parents who are not believers and have no interest in spiritual matters

Physical appearance and non-athletic abilities throughout school years and the negative comments of some peers; a type of bullying I guess.

Leaving familiar surroundings and friends at 14 and learning to move forward. This was the first and only time my family had moved so it was not something that I was used to or had experience with.

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. relationships with non-believers that are non-confrontational and that you can speak your mind as they speak theirs

4. leaving a strong legacy for family and friends that helps them to press on

5. travel and truly “enjoy” all that life has to offer; freedom to do what you want when you want without the worry of cost or time constraints
