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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My reaffirmation came when mortality, regret and unanswered questions hit me after losing my father last year. I firmly believe that thru Christ is the only way to join my loved ones in Heaven one day.

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

Most recently as a MOPS steering member at Oasis last year

As a child I sang in the youth choir at Palms Presbyterian Church in Jax Beach

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

Working next to my father on numerous home projects from age 3 to 41

Becoming a mother

Discovering MOPS and thus Oasis Church

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:

Being a caregiver for my Mom during her battle with Metastatic Breast Cancer, it was a long, painful death vs the sudden, unexpected death of my father.

Dealing with the suicide of my ex-mother-in-law, whom I was very close to

Making poor financial and family decisions which led me to living-paycheck-to-paycheck and the road back.

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. Operate a home to take care of patients suffering dementia that are rejected by other facilities. This is a huge issue.

4. Create and run a program to teach people “how to fish” instead of giving them fish so that no one goes hungry

5. Find a way so that all who wish to go to school, would be able to get an education
