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

I became a Christian just before starting high school at 12 years old. I remember attending a crusade with my parents and being convicted that it was time to surrender my life to God.

I’ve served as Sunday School Teacher in the Church of God of Prophecy in during my Teens. I’ve also taught Sunday school to teens and adults at Mandeville Community Fellowship at various intervals

I’ve served in the media team (video camera operator, multimedia system and audio engineer)

Currently I serve as a Lay Minister in Training at Mandeville Community Fellowship & Worship Center

Being challenged to share the gospel by participating in Evangelism and community invasion

Exposure to crowds/group that required me to share publicly with adults by speaking or doing live training sessions. This has translated to making it easier to teach Sunday school classes or share in Bible Study.

Exposure to using technological tools

Being singled out for being different with my Christian beliefs as a teenager

Experiencing injustice or bias in treatment from persons in positions of authority. It has helped me to understand the importance of balance and fairness in treatment of persons.

Experiencing lack has taught me appreciation for whatever resources I am blessed with and having compassion on those who experience lack or live in want

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. Being able to just bless people in need financially through just giving freely without reservation

4. Being fully dedicated to a cause where I can use my varied resources help others to change their lives positively to live more meaningfully and provide mentorship

5.
