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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in the church and went to church camp.

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

Greeting, Board, Financial management, Admin, Event helper-Citizens Church 5 years

Set up/breakdown of school gym-Access Church 2 years

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

Learning and growing with other Christians through Bible studies and small groups.

Going on a short term mission trip impacted my view on money and how much a little bit to others and change their life.

Serving with others. Blesses you, blesses the others involved and creates a community.

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:

Burnout in serving-Gave me a better understanding of what that looks like and helping serve teams & pastors find balance.

Walking into many churches and not feeling welcomed. I’m not a bubbly greeting type of person but it made me realize how important that role is.

Walking into a church by yourself. Helping those that came on their own feel invited and glad they were there.

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. Visit elderly or sick with well behaved dogs to make their day better.

4. Helping foster kids in some capacity most likely behind the scene. Not really sure how/what that looks like

5. Maybe having an Airbnb and meeting new people and allowing people a nice place to stay in times of stress.
