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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

As a 9 year old child, I gave my heart to Jesus. I was away from the church and God for the next 40 years, and then God really got my attention. I knew what I was doing when I repented and asked Him for forgiveness and He turned me around and I never looked back. God is my very life, breath and reason for living.

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

Christ Worship Center, White House, TN
Womens’ Ministry Leader, 7 years

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

Volunteering at the Open Door Pregnancy Center, where I ministered to pregnant teens and young women who were in crisis.

Learning “Who I am in Christ” with Codependency and Boundary classes.

Organizing and putting into place a Christmas Party every year for 6 years, for children of incarcerated parents.

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 pregnant 17 year old, who, with my parents, chose an adoption plan for my baby girl. Hardest thing I ever went through in my life.

Losing my husband suddenly at 39 years old, from a sudden heart attack.

Going through 3 divorces and not knowing how to get my life together. Making mistake after mistake, until I finally got sick of my life and gave it all to God.

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. At 70 years old, I am living my dream.

4. Continue to counsel until I can’t do it anymore.

5. Learn new ways to counsel and see God work.
