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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised in a Christian home. At age 11, I heard a sermon during a revival at my church and was heavily convicted by it. I accepted Christ at that time and was baptized shortly after.

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

IBT – 4th & 5th grade, co-ed Sunday school Class

One Life – Connections Director 2010-2012
Co-Leader Couples Small Group – 2011-2013
Student MS/HS Girl Leader 2012-2015
Co-Director of MS/HS Student 2015-2017
Women’s Small Group Bible Study 2014-2015

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

Becoming a mother in March 2001 and again May 2002.

One Life opening in 2010

Living in Knoxville, TN for a few years before kids were born.

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:

The death of my father in 2014.

Hurt by church leadership in 2 of the 4 churches I’ve attended in my life.

Betrayal and Loss that happened 2016 (business failure, job loss, betrayal of friends, stained marriage, financial crisis, character attacks, raising 2 teenagers) I pray to never, ever relive a year like 2016!

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 spend all my time blogging, writing a book, reading and researching.

4. I would begin a non-profit that would rehabilitate, educate, empower and love the people who society has deemed as lesser (i.e. victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence, criminal records, addicts, etc)

5. I would love to advocate for refugees. Go to where they are and provide for them whatever need would lighten their loads (backpacks, diapers, Tylenol, shoes, feminine products, non-perishable foods, etc). And then blog about it to garner wider support.
