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

When I was young I tried unsuccessfully to live for the Lord, but after going through a very dark period in my life, when I was 17 I told the Lord that if he still wanted me than I give everything to him and he changed my life completely.

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

1 year rebuilding at a Children’s home in Guaimaca Honduras in 2000

3 years on staff at Children’s home in Guaimaca Honduras 2004-2007

variety of boards at Oasis Tabernacle

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

Getting married and having kids were both turning points in my life.

Traveling and Missions have shaped my world view.

After my family rejected me, I had an older man that became like a dad to me and spoke so much life to me.

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:

Going through a time in my life when I thought that I had done the unpardonable sin and God would never want me back but amazingly he changed my life from darkness to light and now I have difficulty seeing anyone as too hopeless for God to change.

Rejection from my family when I was 18, after being baptized by at a non amish church, I had to leave home.

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. Without a doubt, spend the rest of my life in Missions, serving vulnerable and at risk people, especially kids. Preferably in a spanish environment since I speak some spanish and love the language.
