Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I am a hairdresser currently and I love it when I get to transform someones hair and give them something they love because even though its just hair it brings them great joy, and I get to shine Gods light to people through that process.

2. I love to spend time outdoors with people i’m close with. Just experiencing Gods beautiful creation and growing in relationship with other people.

3. I love good quality time with people. Even though i’m slow to open up, knowing someone well and being able to grow together brings great joy to my life.

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

I grew up a in a christian household. I gave my life to Christ when I was young and never strayed away from that path. I really started to make my faith my own in high school and learn who God is for myself.

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

Kids ministry, since I was in middle school. Living Faith Fellowship (Pullman WA), and Heart of the City Church (Coeur d’Alene ID)

One week in Haiti, 2016

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

Being mentored by my youth leaders when i was in High School.

Attending a christian school and being taught biblical truths and worldviews from a young age.

Circumstances causing me to wait patiently on Gods timing and promises.

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:

People who have come into my salon and have acted poorly toward me, its upsetting at first but then I realize how broken they are inside and how much they need Gods love too.

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. Supporting and providing for poor people in poor countries, possibly living there.

4. Use my skills as a hairdresser for more important things than just making money, however that looks.

5. Learn to play an instrument.
