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

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born into a Lutheran family, being a Christian is all I know. And yet only recently my passion started grown

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

A mission trip to Nicaragua for Hope Fellowship of Jaffrey, New Hampshire. November/December 2017

A mission trip to Guatemala for Little Lambs International of Rindge, New Hampshire. February 2018

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

I switched churches from a strict Lutheran Church to an amazing nondenominational Church

I realized I was living in a terrible state of unhappiness and loneliness, I took charge of my life and decided I wanted to live, and be happy while I’m here

I’ve begun to work on my relationships within my family

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:

For a few of my teen years I was terribly depressed due to loneliness and knowing someone closely who was battling addiction.

A month long concussion that impacted my memory and speaking ability, brought me into another state of depression and isolation.

Losing one of my favorite people to a number of illnesses including cancer.

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 open a dog rescue program in poor countries, and neuter them to avoid the same thing that’s been happening with overpopulation of strays.

4. Go on more mission trips, anywhere I’m needed

5. Open a business involving selling coffee and floral arrangements and using that to spread the word of God to people I wouldn’t normally reach out to.
