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

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

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 4 years old. My dad walked me through the prayer. I accepted Jesus. And I’ve done it about 1,000 times since then. Don’t pray with your kids before the age of accountability. They’ll be confused forever.

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

Seventh Day Baptist Church, Auburn
Attended since age 3. 1992. Served 2000 – 2008.

Faith Baptist, Kent (college) 2008 – 2010
Mars Hill, Ballard (Newly married, finishing college) 2010 – 2011
Nowhere (moved back south) 2011 – 2013

LifePoint
2013 – 2018

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

Being “the artist” in school growing up. For better or worse, I’ve always had a really positive self-image. Also, in 2nd grade I spoke up over the teacher and got in trouble. I think since that moment, I’ve been increasing in boldness.

Meeting Daniel. Instantly my best friend. The person I had been searching for who I could tell anything to.

Rory. I used to be obsessed with fashion. Now, I’m a mom and I weirdly don’t care as much. I’d rather spend time snuggling than buying clothes.

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:

Messed up situation with a childhood friend.

Getting out of two toxic friendships in high school.

Danny falling on the ladder. Rory’s stroke. My hemorrhage.

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 have always wanted to illustrate simplified apologetics books and have an illustrated blog dedicated to the same. To make the concepts of God and science clearer. Possibly a YouTube channel too.

4. Write bible studies

5. Help people get rid of clutter in their homes
