[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Be part of Gods People “the Church” Places where people gather are a gift which can inspire creativity, community, fun, fragrance, learning…

2. I celebrate with the efforts and achievements of others in their own field of endevour. I know we all can’t do everything

3. Occassions come all year through where a community stops to celebrate or grieve. These occassions give connection and community and can be a lot of work if done well. I think they should be done well.

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Listening to Mr Bremner talk about Jesus death on the cross as an 8 year old.

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

Childrens ministry- 10 years

Bible in Schools 20 years

Church rebuild project and maintenance 10 years

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

Re training to be a Landscpae designer- freed up a creative side that I was largely unaware of.

Marrying Rodger and having 3 great kids and 4 great grandchi;dren

My families. Strong committed Christian families

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:

Work experiences- Rodger loosing his job when the children were little. Insecrity and unfairness- bitterness over personel involved

Garden to Table project lost to political naivity on my part

Loss of my friend in 2000

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. A net work of fabulous community churches where community happened in lovely surroundings, children grew up with a sense of place and belonging

4. Play gardens for kids where outside and nature were the connecting features and great highly trained and inspiring teachers were at the helm growing a generation of NZers who knew how to look after our world

5. Health and activity into old age inspired by the next generation but also able to talk into it in practical and beautiful ways.
