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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised all my life in the church. I’m passionate about loving Jesus Christ and have a wonderful upbringing in a faith based family. I have wondered away from my faith at times but always find my way back. Definitely not that at times has been to dark places. I am human and am thankful for a GREAT God who forgives and shows mercy on me and in my weaknesses. I became a Christian through a very wonderful former assistant pastor,Gary Smith, and his family when I was probably 8 years old! My life has been a roller coaster of events that makes me the person I am today! One failure at a time…………I am proud to say that with God and wonderful people who don’t give up on me when many times I wanted to, I am a child of God!💖💖💖

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

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

Working at an elementary school

A mission trip to Costa Rica

Being a MOM

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:

Losing my mother

Almost losing my marriage

my Nephew entering a homosexual relationship

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. I would love to take puppies to high schools! When kids are feeling like they have hit rock bottom, they could come in, without making it known to peers, have a down time to detox and let them know that a free counseling is there if they would like.

4. I would set up a foundation for middle class students g
