Variety

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

I was raised in the church. I became a Christian as a young child more out of fear but grew deeper through the years.

College Station Baptist Church – Youth Volunteer and Children’s Choir Director
VBS Worker

Cypress Bible Church, Cypress, TX – 5th Grade Sunday School Teacher
VBS Worker

BBC – DS Substitute 3-5th grade Sunday School
VBS Worker

Being a part of Centrifuge at Glorieta when I was in high school established my relationship with Christ. The experience deepened my understanding and desire to keep pursuing Christ.

My time spent in college at Texas A&M. My group of friends were strong established Christians. Together we pursued Christ through our entire experience and continue to maintain our friendships built through Christ today.

I married in 2001 out of desparation to be a wife and mother. I married this person knowing that it was not in God’s will. Many doors were closed and I pried them open. Early in the marriage and before, I realized that nothing was factual. The Lord blesses us through ALL circumstances and blessed me with two incredible children. I divorced after eleven years of very difficult situations. As a single mom,, I have a compassion for others in similar situations and for young girls with similar expectations.

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 get my counseling degree.

4. I would be a public speaker sharing Christ to women and young girls. My focus would be on their uniqueness and value. Focus would be to build confidence, self-esteem, and value in Christ.

5. I would create a place that people could come to “get away” from what they are dealing with in life. A resort for those dealing with difficult times that need to “Be Still” and hear God’s voice.
