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

When I was 10, my sister encouraged me to start reading the Bible. I felt the need to begin going to church, learned about salvation, accepted it and am continuing to grow everyday.

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

Pastor’s Wife for 27 years; Teacher; Bookkeeper

Taught Children’s Church, Teens, Young Adults, Women’s Meetings; Adults and Street Kids

Worship Leader; Musician; Directed and Choreographed Musical Productions; Hospital Visitation; Clown Ministry; Puppet Ministry; Wrote CSI; Street Ministry

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

I was abused by my ex-husband…this is what taught me to depend totally on God.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer…this is what taught me to trust God for my healing.

I married a Pastor who taught me what a TRUE Christian was.

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:

Same as the above…I look at the above…not as negative, but positive because of the effect it has had on my life. It drove me TO Him…not AWAY.

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. Learn to read, speak, write Hebrew so I could understand the foundation of the WORD.

4. Teach again…I miss it.
