This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have always had a love for the details. I like to make a plan and see it come to fruition. If there is a spreadsheet involved, I’m all about it!

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I just love helping people! There have been so many people who have helped me throughout my life whether it be big stuff or small stuff, I try to always make myself available to help when I can

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I don’t feel like I have this gift! It comes easy to me to talk about my faith amongst believers but going out into the public and winning souls for Jesus isn’t something I feel gifted at.

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

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

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

Grew up going to church, went through confirmation and baptism when I was 12. Have grown in my faith a lot over the last 32 years!

Kids Ministry

Worship Team

Admin

Pastors wife at previous church took me under her wing and invited me in to do the “mundane” tasks (grocery shopping, taking kids to school, etc) with her. At the time I though she was just being nice but looking back she was intentional at helping me grow and develop.

My parents divorce a few years ago. It wasn’t positive at the time and was hard to recognize that but now looking back it has really made me more intentional with my marriage. My parents were married for 28 years and I thought they were invincible, it helped put in to perspective the work that goes into staying the course.

Meeting Drew and forming that relationship taught me so much about myself.

My dad being a pastor, I saw how things shouldn’t work! Makes me appreciate RL and the intentionality to do things differently. People over task!

Financial Struggles, I feel like you name it we have been there in our 10 years together! It’s easy to judge someone when you’ve never walked in their shoes. While we have made it to the other side of those struggles it definitely keeps me humble!

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. Crazy to say but potentially full time ministry at some point. I have always had the desire to help people but I didn’t realize how to really do that until now! RL has stretched me and helped me to know that I can use that desire for his kingdom and it will have a lasting impact on generations to come!

4. To be married to Drew Holcomb for 50+ years! Marriage takes work and so often we see people stray from the course, I do not want that and intentionally do things so that we don’t become a statistic! Being married for 50 years (to the same person 😉 ) is a big deal!

5. Hmm…….still thinking!
