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

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 was always raised in the church and have always known Jesus Christ as my Savior

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

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

Being adopted made me who I am because I always feel that I am here for a reason and that if I can give back and help someone else then my purpose is being completed

My stepfather passing away was hard because I had to step up and financially take care of my mom while I live in another state. Granted, I do sometimes wish I didn’t have that expense but I am grateful that I am able to provide for her given all that she has done for me in the past and still today.

Working with drug addicts and alcoholics opened my eyes to a lot and removed a lot of stigma that I had in the past. Under teaching, trying to reduce the number of individuals who become addicted to drugs or to let them see a life of recovery is my next mission.

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:

Finding out that my nephew overdosed this year and was on life support. Crazy thing is that I was listening to the live sermon from Zion in the hospital waiting room when my sister ran in and said that he was starting to respond.

Finding my biological mother via Facebook and then her denying that she was my mother.

Dealing with 3 of my friends randomly dying all within the same year and getting the news that my stepfather may not make it through that same year.

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 able to provide a small scholarship every year for an adopted/child in a foster home for college

4. speaking to the youth about my life growing up and how things may seem all good on the outside now but there was definitely periods of downfalls in my story and that I never gave up.

5. Pay off all my student loans! =-/
