Together with my husband we have been financially blessed. The one thing that holds me back is that it isn’t all mine to decide what to do with . However, I realize there are other resources I can share, such as my time and my talents, which I offer willingly whenever I believe God id calling me to

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 life was totally a wreck; all my plans had overwhelmed me to the point that if something didn’t change I would have a mental and physical breakdown. I was invited to church. A the same time I began reading “Left Behind” I didn’t want to be left behind so I prayed the prayer in the book. Then God moved me and my entire family from CA to SC where He planted me in a group of women that helped me understand the enormity of the prayer I had prayed. I was baptized in 2003

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. Learn and speak to women about the truth of God and his Word all over the world.

4. Allow God to completely dictate my daily schedule/life

5. Develop and implement an overhaul of the educational system here in the US so that every student;s individual worth and God’s plan for their life wild be valued instead of churning out cookie-cutter kids.
