Variety

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

[E]xperience

Infant baptism Greek Orthodox , God was my only friend I truly talked to as long as I remember/I strived to be like Jesus, in my teens saw how religious people were hypocritical, in 1994 was approached on the street by church of Christ – studied the bible inclusively and had an adult baptism. From my birth till now I am a solo follower of Christ Jesus, apart from this world but struggling with evil and sin. Elijah is my role model apart from Jesus Christ.

Failing high school and challenging myself to get a university education without missing a beat

Living in Victoria depending on my friend for survival and making the decision to move back to Calgary and build a life on my own without relying on others

This is the last yet most important…talking and praying to God from 6 years old and for the rest of my life. Seeing and knowing God has worked in my life. God/Jesus is my only friend that I turn to every minute of the day for advice and praise.

Fell into addiction to numb my emotions and escape the world of hurt

Fell into the new spirituality movement to help overcome my loneliness and hurt of the world thru the understanding esoteric science

Failing the woman that I loved deep in my heart, she respects my friendship and wisdom and love , but thought I was not partner material. Same thing always happens over and over till this day.

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. Having a loved one to make my priority after Jesus, to grow in that love till we both pass away

4. To express God and His Love for us to others, believers and unbelievers

5. Have a family to bring Glory to God
