[H]eart

1. I love cooking and baking! I like to feed others and feel fulfilled when others like my food.

2. I love making coffee and right now especially latte art. I like learning and trying new things.

3. I like making people laugh or have fun. Whether directly or indirectly, it brings me joy to see others happy.

I like working with high school and university aged people. I like to be able to share my own knowledge and experience with them and be a helpful listening ear and be able to relate to them in their times of struggles.

I think bridging the young adult and older adult generation gap excites me the most.

Routine

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

I was born into a Christian family and always knew who God was, but it wasn’t until one youth camp that I attended (I think during middle school) where I finally felt like I knew who God was to me and His role in my life because of the answered prayers I received in different parts of my life.

ICCC, North York Ontario, Worship (Worship leader, guitar player, coordinator) since around 2010 until present I’ve had served in various aspects in Worship Ministry

ICCC, North York Ontario, Kids’ Church. I was a teacher assistant and a teacher from 2014 until the lockdown began in March 2020.

ICCC, North York Ontario, Cell Group leader. I became a cell group leader in 2020.

I was bullied when first joining worship when I was younger, so that shaped how I now encourage and help others new to worship and ensure they feel welcomed and supported.

When I used to help in dance ministry, I had negative experiences with the older generation and their desires in terms of dress code. Upon reflection, it wasn’t that big a deal, but at that point in time, it felt unreasonable, but it made me more aware of the potential cultural gap between younger and older generations and how important it is to not devalue another person’s opinion.

Again another negative experience with the older generation with non constructive criticism in worship. It made me more compassionate and understanding with errors during worship services.

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 have a job where I can help heal people
