This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I definitely do serve and I prefer to be in the background. I’m not sure if I have this gift or if this is just my reality right now. I do tend to get overwhelmed.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I actually still feel very stingy (assuming giving is talking about financial) but I do really try to give financially and of myself. I think it just seems like more because we have more though…. I think the administration gift is more suited to me than this one.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I definitely have a passion for teaching to be done but I’m not sure I am gifted in this area. I enjoy planning and leading bible study but I don’t necessarily see fruit from it.

[H]eart

1. Learn! I crave knowledge (personality test #1 trait was input) and I am always reading.

2. Hospitality, primarily with people I already know though. Like having people over for a meal or baking things to share with people.

3. Keeping in touch with old friends who have moved away (I love emailing and blessing people with notes to say I’m thinking about them).

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

I grew up going to church and doing all the right “churchy” things until I realized that it wasn’t actually changing my life. I didn’t really care. So I did some soul searching and that’s where Jesus met me. When I finally realized that I needed him to bridge the gap that I could not bridge on my own. When I finally saw my need for him here and now, not just for my eternal destiny.

Children’s Ministry 0-5 year olds (Christ Church) – 4-1/2 years?
Tutoring at SF City Academy 1st grade – 2-1/2 years

Lead women’s bible study (Christ Church) – 1-1/2 years

Hands at Work advocacy (Christ Church) – 6 mo.

Getting married to a godly man

Moving to San Francisco

Visiting Malawi the first time (not sure if this is more accurately defined as a positive or negative experience…)

Church shooting in Sutherland Springs (indirect experience)

Feeling left out and unappreciated as a youth. And if I’m honest, as an adult too.

Discovering I was not a Christian when I had always thought I was.

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. Build said family (foster care/adoption)

4. Change careers to a more philanthropic field

5. Build relationships with extended family (parents and siblings). Is this the same as #2? It’s a specific burden on my heart at this time.
