#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I work in healthcare and research. The tenants of my work are having respect for others (regardless of their circumstances), beneficence (i.e. I should always be trying to do whats best for my patient), and justice (the benefits should outweigh the negative and everyone gets treated equally).

#2 Gift, Giving (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m certainly a “yes man”… for better or worse…

#3 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been told by many I am a very positive person. I don’t have the energy to be negative all the time and I don’t think that’s a good use of time so I just try to stay positive. I’m certain that God is always aware of my struggles and their happening for some reason, so that keeps me positive.

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 was raised catholic but as an adult I’ve realized it’s not for me. Some life events made me realize I need to reacquaint myself with Jesus, so here I am!

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:

Marrying my husband.

My studying abroad experience.

Growing up in my family taught me a lot!

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:

I’ve been trying to get into Physician Assistant School… thus far unsuccessfully…

I was in a bad relationship years ago. That taught me to always put myself “first”; as in I shouldn’t allow others to negatively impact the path Christ has for me. Also, many people are very, “oh that would never happen to me…”, but you don’t know until you’re there. I understand that now.

I’ve had some minimal health issues and misdiagnoses. I have so much empathy for those going through medical struggles and searching for answers.

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. Becoming a Physician Assistant.

4. Travel the world providing medical care for underserved populations.

5. Re-learn Spanish to assist more people.
