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

4 days before my 18th Birthday I was living with my Aunt Rita. I was a rebellious youth sent away to live with my aunt so I could graduate High school. That Saturday night was a huge party and again I woke up not remembering what had happened that night and I was sick to my stomach. The one rule that could not be broken in her house was CHURCH ON SUNDAY. I got dressed and went to church. The poke to me during that sermon and said daughter you don’t have to live like this. The pastor gave a alter call and I went up and my life has never been the same.

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

Community Alliance Church/ Tara Hills
Richmond CA, Jesse Reddoch

Women’s Ministry/ Retreat Coordinator
Children’ Ministry Administrator

Small group leader- Celebrate Recovery

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

Having spiritual mentor in my life have added to my foundation of knowing Christ.

The weight of the world has been lifted because I am no longer living for the world.

I know that I have an eternal home that I get to share with the ones that I love, my family, the friends at church and those that God will put in my path to lead them to the Father.

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:

My Rape as a teenager- It when I first learn to forgive

My divorce – when I was challenged to choose the Lord or my Husband. I chose wisely

My illness. I learned that I am not superwoman. But I learned that because I am sick, people do not have compassion for you because they can not see your disability. Because of that I have learned to have compassion to those who are ill or disability or not being treated fairly.

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. Working for the church.

4. Going on mission trips

5. My Health – hiring a fitness coach and a chef so I could do the all the above
