[H]eart

1. Giving
Just in general being kind to others and being able to give them something they like or love.

2. Singing
I love to sing, and I am okay at it.

3. Talking
I really enjoy talking to people one on one or in a small group, and although I have a harder time speaking in front of large groups, I often find it fun. Overall I just like a productive conversation.

I love working with kids, it’s so much fun to watch their faces light up sometimes, and although it can be challenging it is also really fun.

I’m excited to continue working for Gods kingdom in general.

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

I’ve been a pastors kid for a long time and as a little four year old I committed my life to God and have recommitted a few times since then.

This past year I got to go to a summer camp in Florida. I came closer to God and began to see him as who he truly is, and not who I thought he was in the past.

About a month ago, I got to go into a local elementary school and give away shoes to every kid. It truly showed me that we should be kind to everyone, and show them Gods love.

As a band kid, I recently did marching band. It taught me the value of hard work and teamwork.

As a 5th grader I was bullied which has given me a great compassion for those going through or who have gone through this experience.

As a pastors kid I learned just how much pressure was put on us. My parents were always good at keeping it off of me as much as possible but it was always there. It was like they were just waiting on me to rebel or something. I now am able to help others escape pressure and help them overcome stress.

Another thing I learned as a pastors kid was what would happen when your personal life and the church intermixed, and I saw what not to do. This has now given me an opportunity to help people who have given up on the church come back.

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. To be able to give to others as generously as God has given to me.

4. To work in the kids ministry regularly

5. To sing in front of the church every once in a while
