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

I grew up in a very religious family and attended Christian schools. As I grew older I wandered away. Now I am trying to find my way back.

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

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

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:

Many years ago I had asked on several occasions for help from churches in the religion I was raised and baptized in. I was told to come to church and they would talk to me. This turned me off of going to church. I felt that if you didn’t attend a church, your needs were unimportant. This is part of the reason I go out of my way to help others.

Divorce of parents. In my older days I see how destructive this was to my sisters and I. We were always the step children. We didn’t have the same privileges as the stepdads children. In the second divorce, we were literally cast aside. This has made me determined to make my marriage work, so I don’t put my children through this. I empathize with children going through this.

Distance from family. I was told my dads family was low life and we needed to stay away from them. Doing genealogy, I have made contact several of them and realize this wasn’t true. Family relations are important to me.

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 work with children who come from abusive environments.

4. Abused women. I would love to help them know that they do not have to put up with this.

5. Peace. Our world is upside down and I am afraid it will get worse. I want everyone to come together.
