Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

Came to know the Lord as a teenager at a summer camp. Although it was truly later in life that my relationship with God became more personal and my spiritual life became more important to me.

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

Worship and Praise Team as singer – over 20 years
Treasurer – 3 years
Deacon- 2 terms of 3 years each
Women’s Ministry team – about 3 years
West End Baptist Church St John’s NL

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

Being a Mother and Grandmother.

As a youth, being a part of a tremendous youth group. Many of these people have been life long friends

Being part of a women’s small group, knowing that these ladies were praying for me and had my back. Knowing I could call on them for anything.

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:

Losing a family business. Going through financial difficulties as a result of that.

Going through a cancer diagnosis and subsequent cancer treatments

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. Be able to give more financially to my local church

4. Retired which would allow me to volunteer in my local community

5. Move closer to my grandchildren so that I could be more of a spiritual constant in their lifes.
