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

On a Sunday night at the age of 9, I was at a service at Oakland Heights Baptist Church and my heart was about to beat out of my chest. I knew that the Lord was speaking to me and that he wanted me to obey him and give my life to Him.

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

Oakland Heights Baptist Church, Cartersville/Ga, Middle School Leader, 3 years

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

Watching my Fathers example of how to be a husband and a father. He is my hero and has taught me so much.

Going on a mission trip to Albania when I was 23 years old. Opened my eyes to and allowed me to see the poverty in 3rd world countries.

Playing Sports growing up and learning how to work with other people and how to be a team player.

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:

Struggling with Infertility and wanting to grow our family. Seeing how God worked it out when we decided to give it all to Him.

Being a Foster Parent. Seeing all the struggles that kids face today and just the situations that God has brought them through.

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. Adopt more kids from all over the world.

4. Build an orphanage that provided kids ways to learn about God’s love and do my best to get them all in families.
