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

I was blessed to be born into a Christian family, and I received Christ into my heart when I was 8 years old during an altar call at Kid’s church in my home church in Brasil.

I’ve only volunteer served in past churches. I’ve co-led small groups for my peers, helped lead youth groups (middle- and high-school ages), and led a women’s small group

I’ve been in ministry leadership teams and prayer groups

I’ve served in short term mission teams and leadership groups

When a young adults Pastor and friend invested in me to help develop leadership skills in me because he saw potential in me.

Going through a brief crisis of faith period in College that showed me that my faith in God was real, and His love and constant presence and true goodness were truly treasures to hold on to. This deepened my faith like never before.

Having a young professionals Pastor and good friend walk with me during a period of loss and point me back to God’s love for strength to keep going until I got through the hard part and got back into God’s loving arms.

I’ve battled depression, and through my healing process saw God’s hand leading me out of that dark place.

I broke my ankle a couple of years ago, and had to have surgery. My recovery process was filled with the generosity and loving care of people in my community who were willing to step in to help me in my time of need, which was very difficult for me.

I have never gotten married, and that has been a source of sadness for me, but I am able to not be bitter about it, which is a triumph!

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. Being able to fully support myself with massaging, so I could work/live doing what I love and helping others.

4. I would own a Bed & Breakfast where I could bless others through my gifts of hospitality

5. I would travel to all of the places where my loved ones live, in the US and abroad.
