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 started going to church with my family when I was about 6 years old and went off and on my entire life and gave my heart to the Lord at about 10. I didn’t have the easiest home life so the church was always comforting and a safe haven for me.

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

Calvary Christian Ormond Beach Florida – was serving in supporting Foster Care families prior to COVID

Wings of Faith Fellowship Ocala Florida – Sunday School – Childrens Church – Kitchen – Youth – Missions

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

Meeting and marrying my husband

Being apart of Local and International Mission

Surrounding myself with Godly influences

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:

Mother was a drug addict who was married to an abusive man – this helped to shape my life by seeing exactly what I did not want my life to be. I will never allow a substance or a person to control my life.

Hurt – When someone does you wrong or hurts you, you can not allow that pain to control your life or make you angry. You have to learn to cope with God’s help and deal with it.

Mistakes – Understanding and remembering when we make a mistake and ask for God’s forgiveness you cant continue to pick it up and stress over it.

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. Finish School

4. Continue growing my career
