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

I trusted in Jesus when I was listening to Jimmy Swaggart years ago, back in the 1980’s. I heard him give the sinners prayer, and I never heard it before in my life!! I watched him the next week and said it with him and meant it, and got saved!!!

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

I’m serving now in Golden Hills Community Church in the Community Outreach Center as an assistant teacher for the 4-6 year olds.

I also serve in G.H.C.C. as a greeter at the 6:00 service.

I served helping the 4 year olds for a few months when my son was that age, at Golden Hills Community Church.

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

Being adopted as a baby of 4 1/2 months old into a loving Christian Family.

Being Confirmed at the United Methodist Church that I went to growing up with my family.

Gettin married and having children!!!

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:

Going through financial hardship

Having my husband tell me he doesn’t love me anymore

Continuing to stay in a loveless marriage

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. Going to the mission field and working in an orphanage, and telling children about Jesus!!!

4. Making a church that would be open 24 hours a day that the homeless or anyone could come in and pray and have a break from the element and a little rest, and peace, and where they could even sleep on the pews if they wanted too!!!❤️

5. Making an orphanage and Christian School, kind of like a “Little Men,” kind of thing.
