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 grandparents took me to church in my early years but I didn’t really get how much I needed Jesus until he freed me from two back to back abusive relationships. He has done so much for my family and has healed so much of my inner hurt. I have witnessed how he turned what the devil had planned to use to destroy me, into plans to glorify him. Ever since, I don’t ever want to align myself with anything but God.

Becoming a mom

Working for spirit filled Christians

My grandparents marriage (they were married over 50 years)

Surviving narcissistic abuse

Losing a job position that meant alot to me

Mental health (struggled with anxiety and depression)

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. Having my own business that allows me the ability to be at home with my daughter and is financially sustaining for all our needs

4. Write a book about what God has taught me about love and narcissism. Write about abuse in context of our spirituality.

5. Start a christian support group or ministry for those who have been hurt by narcissistic people so that they can have support rebuilding a healthy foundation and recieve healing and validation with Jesus being the source of it all.
