[H]eart

1. Praise and Worship – from a young age my heart was in singing and worshiping the Lord

2. Prayer and Intercession – I feel God has placed a gift in my heart to intercede for others, many times I feel the pain of others as my own and cannot help but to pray

3. Fasting – I believe in the power of fasting and letting go of the pleasures of my flesh in order for God to exalt himself in my life. Since a young age I have enjoyed fasting and found that this has helped to strengthen my faith in Christ.

Although I am young, I feel most at ease with the Women’s Group or with small children and immigrant families.

I love to support mission work, worship team , prayer meetings ( vigils, prayer nights) I also feel a need to reach out to the young that are lost and addicted, although it makes me uncomfortable I know God has placed a burden upon my heart to pray for them.

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

I grew up in a christian home, but truly began to seek God and come to know him when I turned 18.

Iglesia Evangelica Pentecostal Emanuel – Born, Raised and will remain till the end of my days.

My marriage – Being married is not easy and seven years later I am a different person thanks to the husband the Lord has given me.

My children – Have served as inspiration and motivation for me to follow Christ and better myself in order to be a good example for my generation to follow.

My studies – Although I am not vastly educated, yet, I know that God has used the courses and programs I have been enrolled in to help shape my character and strengthen my faith and improve my self-esteem

Relationships – looking for acceptance in the wrong arms led me to regret many decisions of my past, now i constantly advise younger generations of the true love found in Christ

Family issues – in my earlier years of life there was a lot of pain and suffering in my family now, thorough this God has helped shape the parent I am today

Bullying – I was bullied throughout my school years and unaware that I was able to say anything, this in turn caused me to have a lot of resentment and rejection in my life until the Lord set me free. I now advocate for those in need and can perceive indicators of young people affected by bullying

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

• Everyone Else After those

3. Enhance the Ministry of Worship that God has promised me.

4. God set free my family members that are in captivity and see them serving Him
