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

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

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 attended VBS at 8 because friend who was mormon was being baptised. Then at 11 – 12 was suicidal because was teased throughout elementary and middle school. Instead of trying suicide decided to pray and see if God / Jesus was real. Prayed that if he was then get me out of where my family was living. HE did! Within a year or so we moved to Utah, the most religious state in the union and a more sheltered placed. Was not popular during high school but the teasing stopped for the most part. Was baptised the first time at 15.

My time, the last 4 years, at New Life Christian Center which is the most loving church body I have been a part of.

Being taken in spiritually by a pastoral couple of an AG church at the Grand Canyon after my major failing listed below 5 years ago.

Good friends who have let me live with them without paying rent while unemployed or underemployed.

After giving my heart away to a pastor who was very good looking and having him nuke it to pieces when he introduced me to his girlfriend in church on Sunday, I verbally attacked him personally. I lost a friend and, although restored to church “membership” I could not keep my spiritual, relational and personal failure from taking me out professionally and have not recovered from that financially by losing that employer as a reference and future option.

My father who provided financially but was not present spiritually or emotionally for the family, verbally abusive, critical and judgemental spirit and taught us a poverty mentality.

Overall dysfuncional family.

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. Traveling/ exploring the world while making a difference.

4. Establishing a chain of apartments to house the homeless while they get back on their feet with a cafeteria to serve meals each day totally staffed by volunteers and the foundation to fund this endeavor.

5. Establishing Christian retreat centers around the world where people in need of spiritual, emotional and psychological restoration could come and heal including those for who, the medical community cannot help, a place for divine healings and deliverance.
