This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like to make others fee comfortable and make things work efficiently. I like to look around and find things that others don’t notice and try to fill that gap.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Well I feel that it all belongs to the Lord. I can’t out give Him. He doesn’t need money or things but He does want to use me as a vessel to pour it out to where He wants it to go.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think this one may be high because I have needed so much mercy, and I feel an empathy for others. I try to put myself in their shoes and think of how I would have responded to the same scenario. I understand that we never truly know what is going on in another person’s heart. But for the grace of God go I!!!

[H]eart

1. Serving my family. I love to cook for them and plan vacations for them. Anything that helps us to spend time together laughing and enjoying each other.

2. Buying gifts for others and surprising them. I will spend a lot of time planning and researching items to purchase that I know the recipient will absolutely love or will meet a specific need.

3. I love to travel to new places and try different cuisines. Shopping in local markets are so much fun. It just fascinates me to see how other people live and eat.

People who also have an inquisitive mind and are hard workers. It drives me crazy to work with lazy unimaginative people. A complainer will send me over the top. I thrive being around others who are working through problems and devising solutions to problems. It doesn’t matter their age to me at all. I also love to be around people who are encouragers. They have a selfless joy that just bubbles up in them.

College ministry excites me and so does the thought of expanding our website presence.

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

When I was on an outing with my mom and one of her friends they were talking about the Lord and my mom’s best friend asked me if I would like to become a Christ follower and I really wanted to have that personal relationship that she had with the Lord. So we prayed right there in the Kroger parking lot in Houston on just an average day shopping for groceries.

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. Be able to graduate from Dallas Theological Seminary

4. Would love to serve on a Mercy Ship

5. Spend my day in a large kitchen cooking for homeless people, good food, not just stuff out of a can, I would love to spoil them with downhome cooking.
