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

Raised in a Christain home. Always went to church closest to us, but moved a lot and went to a lot of different denominations.

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

Cobblestone Dutch Reformed Church, Rotterdam NY 10-15 years
Served as Elder, taught Sunday School, Edited Church Newsletter

Weslyan Methodist Church, Balltown Rd. Schenectady, NY 1-2 years

Presbyterian Church, Baldwinsville, NY 4-5 years

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

Finding true love with Don and being rescued by him after two previous disastrous relationships

Moving a lot as a child and even as an adult made me more adaptable than some.

Loving family and exposure to education and culture and music.

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:

First husband basically abandoned me and second husband was alcoholic that abandoned me with 3 small children.

Health issues caused me to live with chronic pain for many years

Spent many years living close to poverty line

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. To get paid enough for the books I create to pay for themselves and allow me to give more to others

4. I am living the dream of having time for myself and my hobbies
