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

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

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

I was raised Catholic and walked away from religion when my first Husband died at the age of 27. In 2009 I was in a very good place in my life. I had a good Marriage (I thought), the farm I had always wanted and worked hard for and my Children were all doing well. I knew there had to be “More” and that more was inviting Christ back into my life. Since then I have gone through a world of hurt and trials and all of them have drawn me closer to our Loving God. He has helped me through all of them and continues to be my source of Hope and Love.

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

In the past all of my Ministry help has been with youth bible groups and recently the Awana Group at Northridge.

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

Raising my older Children to be honest, loving, kind, hard working adults.

Having my alpaca farm. Raising Alpacas and Angora rabbits and the time I spent with them.

Being a Survivor of domestic abuse and domestic violence.

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:

Being a Survivor of domestic abuse and domestic violence.

Being isolated from Family and Friends due to lack of understanding. Being alone.

The loss of my first Husband at the age of 27. Being blamed for his death and having to raise our chidren without him.

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. A HEALING farm where women and Children of domestic abuse and violence could come to heal, spend time with nature and Gods Word. A SAFE place.

4. To have a Farm and share that with others. Animals, nature.

5. To have a farm and find a way to be self sufficient and make $ to support us so I could be HOME more with my Daughter.
