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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Raised in church, saved at 8 years old; realized what it meant about 18 years of age

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

Grace Temple, Fort Worth, TX – have always sung in the choir; taught Sunday School, approx. 10 years

First Baptist Joshua, Joshua, TX – sang in choir; taught Sunday School 10-15 years, served on various committees

Oak Grove Baptist, Burleson, TX – sing in choir; taught Sunday School approx. 5 years; served on various committees

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

Had loving parents who were very supportive and encouraging

Raised in church; parents very involved in church work and talented musicians; gave me a love of gospel music

Became a wife, mother and grandmother — love, love these roles

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:

My sister passed away leaving her 3 small children. That was a huge tragedy in my life, as well as theirs.

A son that became involved in drugs and that life. Even though it was negative, it was also positive in that God delivered him miraculously.

My husband passed away

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. Wish I had continued learning piano like my mom
