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 brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Someone asked me to read the Bible, said ok. Got invited to church 2.5 months later by a mother from Taekwondo class. Walked into a church full of signs that God opened my eyes to see. Have become connected with people who support and believe in me, real love! Have been experiencing grace and blessing beyond my earned right ( which is death and punishment).

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

Harvest Bible Chapel St. Joeseph, Michigan. 2 years come May 7th, 2019.

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

Being afflicted with asthma all my life until recent periods of freedom from medicine.

Always knowing in my heart amd mimd that no matter what, it will be ok. Strange sense of peace all my life.

Fortunate enough to be an American.

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:

4 times physically close to death: drowning, falling, crashing, and wrong place wrong time.

Growing up on hollywood and mass media messages in the 1990’s.

Bad attitude/rebelious nature.

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. I am planning to memorize all necessary parts of scripture God wants me to, for use in helping the people God sends me to.

4. I plan to support the missions going where no mission has gone before, to the 2 billion people who know Jesus not.

5. I am training to be an olympic competitor, to use that prestige to influence others for God’s Glory!
