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

When I was dating Rich, he shared the bridge illustration with me and I accepted Christ.

I have worked with children in backyard Bible clubs, Pioneer girls, Awana, Little Lambs, lunch Bunch, DaBarn Parties both here and in Illinois

I have also done Bible studies with my husband in our home – including Neighborhood Bible Studies and a kids program for that. I have also done Christmas Gatherings where the gospel is shared both for adults and children. I also lead a Moms in Touch Group for many years.

I have mentored and done Bible study with individuals. I have also become a Stephen Minister.

Marrying my husband and sharing a life with him – with family and ministry. Seeing all my brothers and sisters and parents come to know Jesus as their Savior.

Raising 2 children and now having grandchildren is delightful. Trying to have a positive impact on them in their lives.

Having Christian friends who pray for me and encourage me in the faith, as well as a good Bible believing church. Bible Study has been a huge blessing to me.

not being able to have children and so having to adopt. Having 2 children with health issues, one who has overcome them in the Lord and the other still heading in the wrong direction.

Watching my husband die slowly over 5 years and losing him.

Seeing my children make poor choices and my son choosing to turn his back on the Lord, is just dreadful.

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 increase the ministry for grieving women and men (we’d need a male leader), to include more discipleship and training in the Lord.

4. To have a larger Bible Study for young women where I could help them grow in their faith and then train up others

5. To be more of a prayer warrior – praying for my children and their families and also others and their needs.
