This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have a natural knack for this type of stuff. I’m a really good problem solver and organizer. I can also work well with large or small groups of people.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I run my own business and I really want to make enough money so that I can just start giving it away…I know that sounds crazy, but I once had someone just send me money for a struggle I was having and I so want to just do the same thing. Years before this happened I watched my boss call a university and pay the tuition for a waitress who had just served us lunch. He asked her how much longer her shift was she said a few hours and then she had class, somehow she mentioned she’d be taking a semester off to earn more for tuition and he just though, I can pay that and he did. I can only imagine what she thought when she figured out the bill had been paid. I have always thought this was way cool and I would so love to just do stuff like that. Help the community, reach out, no strings, no expectations, just to throw something out into the world and see what happens…

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

The problem here is this process was all but brief. When I look back now I can’t believe all the things that had to line up for me to get where I am today. The thought of this often makes me just tear up. I remember 2010/2011 just sitting on the bus in the morning saying the “Our Father” over and over and over and over because it was the only prayer I knew. I didn’t even know then what I needed and now I look back and am so grateful I got off “that bus” because that was not my path. I made some wrong turns and I can’t believe how many stupid, little and huge things have lined up to get me to today. Even in my 110%, totally and completely analytical mind I can’t help but give in to it all. I’m not really sure what I’m doing but seems to be going really well.

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. I want a compound sized property to offer housing to some family and friends of like minded lifestyles/needs

4. To grow my bussinesses to earn enough to just hand out cash or the sorts, even after tithing.

5. To live simply and happy
