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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I came to know the Lord when I was 27 years old. I was married already had 2 beautiful children and I still felt empty. I had a hunger for something that I could never satisfy. I came to church with a friend and immediately felt at home. I wanted what they had. I gave my life to Christ in October 2002. My life changed dramatically. I walked alone in my spiritual journey for many years( no extended family or my husband that believed).

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

Women’s bible study at Hillcrest church

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

Became a mom of two beautiful children.

Married young and grew with my husband by my side.

Been a part of a Small group that has encouraged, accepted me for me and prayed through the years

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:

Grew up in dysfunctional home with alcoholism and poor financial state.

Have a prodigal daughter.

Seen how RELIGION and RELATIONSHIP differ. Ken’s family religious, my family new age. I am about a personal relationship!

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. To be extremely generous..example if somebody needed a vehicle I would leave car and keys without them knowing who it was from. Or buy groceries and leave at their door with no clue it was from us.

4. Serve in 3 world countries and be His hands and feet

5. Serve my community in the name of Jesus
