Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

When I was a teenager I attended church with my then boyfriend and I loved everything about it, I knew I needed forgiveness and I needed guidance and stability in my life. Jesus met me right there!

I’ve attended Southeast Christian Church in Louisville KY for 22 years. I’ve been a nursery team leader when my children were young(10 yrs) , women’s ministry leader/teacher for 18 years, a grief counselor for 15 years, outside church bible study leader for 16 years, a hospitality coffee shop worker for 10 years. all interlapping of course.

my family who loved me, encouraged me

my God given talent for learning and being personable has made a path for me to many positive experiences and rewards

the family who took me to church 3 x a week for 5 years

divorced after one year married at 21 from that boyfriend who first took me to church

childhood poverty, my mother was a single mom of four who worked at White Castle

my youngest child, Sami drowned in our family pool at the age of 3, in 2006

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. get Healing The Children back to normal again, more ministry focused though

4. to reach more children, to let all know there is a God that loves them

5. to encourage all people in the knowledge that this world is not our home, to think eternally
