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. I would do whatever I could to help organizations like compassion international reach every child everywhere without the need of sponsors.

4. I would hire the best of the best to prove scientifically (its actually ben done already) to prove life starts in the womb. But not just people who would take them seriously but to prove it to the rest of the world so there is no doubt.

5. Try to unite the church in an effort to spread the gospel everywhere. Even more so to the places it has not yet reached.
