1. I love being able to help those around me so that they are able to enjoy themselves more.

2. I love getting to serve God in my church, through leading those around me, singing or preaching to them.

I love getting to work with those that have the same passions as me. This has been seen as high schoolers who enjoy leading and my leaders.

High school ministry is one ministry that concerns me the most because of the statics that say that they will stop attending church after they graduate.

Routine

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

I have been essentially born into the church, as my mom was raised a Christian her whole life. I have been attending the same church for as long as I can remember, it is where I accepted Jesus for the first time and have continued pursuing my relationship with him ever since.

Southwest Church’s guest service team for a couple of years.

Southwest Church’s children’s ministry for a couple of months.

Southwest Church’s student ministry going on my fourth year.

Being able to get baptized by someone that at the time I looked up to a lot.

Being able to serve in a ministry that has changed my life.

Attending summer camp where I found who I am in Christ after straying far away throughout the year.

My trust being broken by an adult when I was younger and in a vulnerable position has showed me to be compassionate for those who have had their trust broken by someone in a bad way.

Watching friends not be able to be confident in where their next meal is coming from has allowed me to have compassion for those that are in poverty.

Watching my parents go through a divorce and later get remarried has given me a sense of compassion for those who live with only one parent and those that are not being raised by their own parents.

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. I would go on a mission trip.

4. I would serve every single chance that I get.

5. I would successfully lead a ministry when I am older.
