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 grew up in the church, and I began a relationship with Jesus when I was young. It was in high school that I was challenged with going through the motions, and I started to read the Bible daily. Through this, God showed me my need for a Savior, and I exprienced His grace. This is when I really started to walk with Jesus daily.

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

Worship band – Sunday mornings at Croassroads Napoleon and youth band at Wauseon

Miracle Camp – AC, counselor, and now head female – office worker, pouring into campers by teaching and discipleship, discipling girl counslors

Crossroads Napoleon – childcare

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

Miracle camp – experiencing an authentic community where people sought the Lord and pouring into others

Growing up in a solid home where I saw Christ-centered relationships on a daily basis growing up

Getting close with girls like: Andrea, Micaiah, Ashlin, Anna – mutually encouraging relationships

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:

Going to a state school – feeling alone, yet I learned to depend on the Lord more there than I have through many experiences

Struggling with depression – I have a better understanding of what others have experienced through this

Sin struggles – recognizing that my need for Jesus is great and that I am not perfect, which has given me a heart for people

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. Giving generously
