Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 was not raised in a Christian home. After college, I married. Two tumultuous years later my husband Walter was led to Christ by a precious friend. Walter, in turn, led me to the Lord right before the birth of our first child.

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

West End Baptist Church, Fayetteville, TN, VBS teacher 7+ years, Precept Bible Study teacher 2 years

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

Under the verse by verse expository teaching of Richard Strauss at Calvary Bible Church in Huntsville Alabama, I received a solid foundation in the Word of God and learned the importance of Bible study.

In that same church, a dear 86 year old saint, Mom Henderson, taught me the importance of Bible memorization and started me on a lifelong discipline of memorizing the word of God.

Diana Peterson, my precious friend, was a role model for me in the school of prayer.

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:

A rocky marriage ( that has been transformed by the power of God!)

My cancer

a prodigal child.

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. For my husband and I to teach a Bible study class together.

4. For my husband and I to go on a missionary trip together.

5. To see the prayer ministry expanded to include prayer teams praying during each service, prayer walks on Saturdays before church service, and at least one night during the week and be a part of that.
