Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

Growing up my family did not go to church. A school friend brought me to a church function (I had never heard the gospel before). They had an altar call and I immediately stood up and accepted Christ. Turned my life and priorities completely around and I started attending PBC.

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

I used to teach Sunday school and help out in the nursery at CPC when I was in my 20s. I recently helped during Summer XP (last summer) and I enjoyed serving in the nursery before COVID.

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

Helping lead my closest friend to Christ – she became a Christian shortly after I did. We encouraged and helped each other then and still do today.

Being a part of the singles group at CPC (many years ago) – we were a close-knit group and I enjoyed the fellowship very much.

I met my husband at CPC and we have 2 children.

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:

My mother passed away from cancer when I was 21 – so I feel compassion/empathy for those who lose a parent when they are young.

My father had Alzheimer’s and passed away. He was placed in a care facility by my stepmother and I had no control/say over his care. He was abused and neglected there. I have compassion for those who suffer from the same disease and also elderly people who are in care facilities.

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 would like to honor God with my time as well as my money. I would like to discover specifically where He wants me to serve.

4. I would like to be a regular visitor in a care home for the elderly

5. I would like to retire and spend more quality time with family and friends and be able to have time to have people over for a meal
