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

My relationship with Christ has been my constant.

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

Emmanuel Lutheran Church Hampton, VA

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

Positive christian role models.

Good experience in youth group.

Various ministry outreach experiences.

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:

Health challenges, infertility, and miscarriage.

Having been laid off from my job and taking a major salary cut and title change in a new position. All done in the perfect timing of Christ, even though it was a painful and challenging season of life.

In general, missed opportunities that I felt were “meant to be” and then God used those personal perceived fails to guide my path in a direction that was better than what I could have hoped or planned.

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 provide everyday services to those in need (meals, food, clothing, shelter, etc.). Not necessarily one big dream, but many small ways that make an impact on people’s live on a consistent and daily basis.

4. To create a true sense of community where our children can learn about God in a safe, fun, loving, and relevant way.

5. To create a place for people to have fun and learn about Christ. This could mean anything from an outdoor adventure park or a culture space depending on the needs of the audience and location where it serves.
