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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

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

Saw the love for others in believer’s lives. Wanted that as well as confidence and assurance in Christ they had. Prayed to receive Christ.

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

Small group host in home – 3
Youth program small group girl leader – 2
Preschool teacher – 6
Starting Point helper – 2
Stephen Ministry – currently

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

Completed the Bible study by Priscilla Shirer – “Gideon.” Finally saw my weaknesses as gifts from God-the place where I must depend completely on Him. 2014

Began reading Jesus Calling consistently every morning. First year of my life at age 56-57 to spend time with the Lord daily. 2014

Had breast cancer in 2015. Blogged about it.

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:

Problem with anger when parenting young children.

So much trouble being disciplined about everything in life but mostly spending time with the Lord.

Probably my dad dying at a young age.

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. As soon as I’m done studying the topic, presenting workshops on emotions

4. Help those struggling to develop discipline in quiet-time habits.
