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

I grew up in the church or atleast since my parents first divorce. I’m not sure I really knew who Jesus truly was until junior high. I accepted Christ into my life and was baptized. It was a special day. Then life happened and I spent some years away from the church believing but not practicing. It wasn’t until last year that I think I truly understood what it meant to walk like a Christ follower. Trauma lead to near death, I should have died, I didn’t even care, and God said no. God said not yet. God reminded me that He sent His son to live, die, and rose from the dead so that I could have life. There’s much more to it but that’s the gist.

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

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

My boys!

My best friend Chantell.

Honduras Missions trip.

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:

The entire last year. One rape opened up the can of worms involving another sexual assault lead to an addiction to working out and eating disorder which lead to 6 weeks in the hospital. Coming home for months of therapy and physical healing.

Parents divorces.

Having hearing impairments and congenital conditions.

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 would take singing and guitar lessons and then join the church choir or band.

4. I would find a way to share my struggles that could make a difference in a big way.

5. I would be a Physical Therapist but not miss any of my boys’ big games or activities.
