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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

As a child, raised by Christian parents, I asked Jesus into my heart at a very young age. It took many years of working through my salvation, applying scripture and solid teaching, and fellowshipping with other believers to become who I am in Christ.

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

North Park: small group leader, GO Thrive team leader, activities & ice breakers for the annual women’s retreat, volunteering in the kitchen and other areas

Church in the Oaks – Small group leader, played flute in worship team, CCLI overseer, Missions Committee leader & coordinator

Glad Tidings – youth leader
Short-term missions trips through many years & to many places

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

Being a Missionary Kid in Brasil

Marrying Dennis & immigrating to Canada

Parenting young children and then teens

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:

Cancer caregiver

Mothering – it can be especially challenging for moms to young children. Then the teen years are a whole other arena!

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. Investing in the lives of the Young Pros; encouraging them to be committed, involved and become leaders
