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

I grew up in a Christian home, but I officially accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was 14 years old. I have strayed at times, but the Good Shepherd always comes looking for me and draws me back closer to Him!

When I was a child, our neighbors would host a family weekend on their farm where everyone brings their horses and we all ride and have competitions and games and fun with different patterns.

Having a mentor, not only when it comes to horses, but also about life in general and faith in Jesus Christ.

Getting to marry my best friend and do life with him and start a family of our own.

Having our family farm taken away due to land claims and the (very productive) farm, with many families directly dependant on it, going to people who do nothing with it and even demolishes the houses and infrastructure.

Being bullied in primary school by other girls.

Struggling with my studies at university and having to complete my degree over a longer period of time.

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 represent the Kingdom of Heaven in my working with people and their horses. That all I do and say, will be a reflection of God’s love and thereby non-believers can come to faith and believers will be encouraged and strengthened in their faith.

4. That when people look at me and see my actions and hear my words, that they will know – without a doubt – that I am a child of the one, true, living God.

5. To grow and process fresh fruit and vegetables in such quantities that there is much extra to be given to all the people I love and those that are in need.
