Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

I was 14 when God by His grace filled me up with His Spirit and made me walk the very long aisle to give my life to Him. I was extremely shy.

Fraternity church Miami served as Sunday school teacher for kids and usher and worship team. I went there from 1996 to 2006.

H.E.B.C (Haitian Evengelical Baptist Church) Memorial Highway, Fl.
Served as Sunday School teacher; Vice President of Children Ministry; Vice President of the church board and assistant to the Sunday school administrator.
Served from 2006 to 2016.

Now in Tabernacle of Glory.

I have a mom who prays and a non judgemental sister who stood by me through thick and thin. When jealous friends meant bad, the power of prayer sustained me and transformed me.

After 4 years of marriage no children. I knew in my heart that God will bless me with children. I never gave up. Through prayers from family and friends mixing with my own, God gave me three beautiful children that are my joy.

I came to be in education by working as an assistant teacher for ESE children. I felt needed and there were changed to these children when they graduated. The experience was so rewarding that when i was put on a waiting list for. X-Ray tech i immediately changed my major to teaching.

I was molested as a child by family friends whom my parents believed were exemplary. I was always in rage inside but could never voice it. I gave these people power over me and because of that i want to be the voice to those going through the same thing.

Coming to Florida from New York, I was almost raped by my first pastor at the house when my parents were out and my sister in school. Since he knew I wouldnt say anything, he used to create conflicts between my mom and me by what he would say. I had to endure his sneaky ways until it was finally out. That teach me to listen to children and pay close attention to what they say and do.

Bothe me and my sister were raped. I was raped by an ex boyfriend but hers was worse because it was repeatedly. We finally made peace with it all and our ministry is to help and empower women who are abused.

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 a rich for God and help everyone God indicate to me to bless. Build a center with a big cafateria that feed young and old twice a day. It ccould be a place for the old people to exercise, pray, reminencing about their youth and also a place to provide therapy for the suffering.

4. I would have a distribution center and canteen to feed the poor.

5. Have my children secure with no worry of money. Send them to Colleges and university and have them serve the Lord with what they learned.
