Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

When I was cures of double Pneumonia at the age of 5.

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

NONE

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

Growing up in Okinawa ( small Island) during Vietnam War. Seeing a different take on War, Politics, Religion and Culture. I appreciated Family and the Love of Heavenly Father.

Meeting and talking with Tyler Perry. His views on Religion and his childhood. It was a game-changer for me.

The birth of my Daughter. We grew up together always each others cheerleader. I was a single Mom at the age of 20. It was always her and I. We were always led by the Holy Spirit.

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:

Divorce #1

Divorce #2

Physical and Verbal abuse…and the escape!

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 take voice lessons and sing for God!

4. I would build Women’s shelters across the country. Focusing on their Humility, courage, and their Godsize Dreams! Because seeing their dreams fulfilled will fulfill mine.

5. I would launch a street Ministry. Helping those who feel they have been forgotten. I would let them know I am no fluff and my Ministry would be the real thing. Not a few good words a prayer and they never hear from me again!
