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

I grew up a Christian and always believed and had faith and knew god was working thru me in one way or another but was not always connected to church.

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

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

Global Leadership summit

Walk to Emmaus

Grace in Action

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:

Seeing hypocrisy in the Church I grew up in and having that drive me away from the church and organized religion to worship in my own way alone or with a small group of friends.

Alcoholism ruined my life, stealing my dreams and goals from youth and robbed me of my talents and motivation

Senior relatives go into nursing homes and being forgotten for the most part after their spouse passed and they could no longer care for themselves

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 like to get the message out louder and clearer at around the 8th grade, 9th grade and 10th grade levels what impacts drugs and alcohoi have on your life to prevent more kids from losing their dreams

4. Liveable acceptable safe living arrnagments for those down on their luck that is designed to lft them up thru counseling and training to be able to provide for themselves and others and get rid of homelessness altogether.

5. allow everyone to bring more followers to christ thru following their passions such as fishing, art, crafts, bowling, football, biking, etc…
