[H]eart

1. Teaching others things that I have learned.

2. Playing video games, mostly fighting games and RPGs.

3. Seeing others happy and successful because of my efforts.

From my experiences, children seem to like me and they love to listen to what I have to say. Because of this, I think I would be best suited to work with children.

I think I would enjoy being a Sunday School teacher that incorporates bits of science, epistemology, and logic into my lessons. I also want them to understand why they should believe in God instead of just saying that they must.

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

One night on a Saturday felt God’s conviction, asked my grandparents if they could help me with what to say, and I was saved that night. I was eight at that time, which is why this story is so simple. I can hardly remember some of the details surrounding it just because so much has happened since then.

Although I do remember that I did a lot of charity work in the past, I cannot recall when or where it happened. I do however know that the bulk of it occurred over the last five years.

Having wonderful and compassionate teachers throughout my middle and high school years.

Having kind and loving grandparents who are not afraid to call me out when I do something stupid.

Having supportive and jovial friends that I can relate to.

I had a near-death experience at the age of seven.

I have never known my biological dad.

I once dated a girl who constantly bullied me and made me feel like crap. Once I broke up, she practically groveled at my feet wanting me back. After a few years, I decided to try dating her again thinking that she had changed. She did not change after all those years and even told me to my face that she was dating me to get to another guy who happens to be my best guy friend. Although those experiences were terrible, it was so cathartic to see my friend reject and deflect every move she made towards him.

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. Turn my lineage from a fairly normal working class lineage to one of wealth and prosperity for my descendants.

4. Become a pillar of my community.

5. Create a charity to help fund low income families with high quality education and courses about practical skills to help bolster income.
