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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I didn’t grow up in a Christian home and was a very angry teen. I was invited to church by a boyfriend at the age of 18. The message of hope hit me hard and I ran fast to know Jesus more.

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

Point of Change Church of the Nazarene-Associate Pastor 5 years

Bloomington First Church of the Nazarene- Youth Leader, Board Member, Associate Pastor 4 years.

Champaign First Church of the Nazarene- Kids Sunday School teacher, Youth Leader

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

Becoming a wife- Humbling & Challenging

Becoming a mom-biggest driver for me to be better

Feeling called into ministry. Drove me to seek Him more & understand His word. (No longer feeling called)

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:

Alcoholic and abusive mom

Poor bosses & unfair treatment in various past jobs.

Bullied as a kid

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. Expand my business to incorporate non Christian employees and regularly raising funds for various groups in our community.
