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 had a very bad childhood. I was isolated from my brothers and sister due to the Grandmother physically and verbally abusing all of us kids including my Mom. Church was the only place that I felt somewhat accepted. When I went to Church Camp at around 6 or 7yrs old I was Saved. I looked at God as a Father figure in every form. Because my Dad didn’t know how to be due to my Grandmother. I have been saved by God in many ways throughout my life.

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

N/A

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

I attended the Landmark Forum in Seattle and the 2 follow up Forms they offer. Changed my Life and perspective as a human being forever! It was my “Do Over”. Never been the same since. Highly recommend it!

Mike Reynolds has taught me so much about scripture and God’s plans for us all. He has changed my perspective in such a positive way! I am able to handle Life better because of him. I am no longer the angry bitter EX Wife,..Wife ..or Mom. I’ve got peace in my heart now…….I know I am Worthy of God’s Love and Grace now.

Feb 22nd 2017. With Patricia’s help I was able to ask the Lord for Forgiveness and Truly be Saved!
I thought I was saved at 7yrs old but I wasn’t………I will never forget this Date!

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:

Verbal and physical abuse and molestation as a child.
I don’t want to see any child go thru this and I would fight for any cause that stops this.

My extreme and Chaotic childhood. Made me passionate about being in control and organized. Also setting goals…achievement and completion of a project.

My Grandmother was a Bigot and very judgemental. This makes me want to be the opposite. Nuture and help others.

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 go on a Missionary Trip.

4. Organize a event to help the need…i.e. clean someone’s house that can’t do it themselves. Plant a garden for someone in need. Organize a Repair Party for a Senior that needs home repairs or try and get charity work donated by businesses.

5. I sing at church already but would like to het
