Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Participated in a Bible/book study on Friday mornings at my school for 10 years. The woman who led the study always prayed and discussed scripture . Once, on a summer retreat she asked if I knew Jesus. We talked and prayed a salvation prayer! Changed my life!

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

Worked with homeless to get food and housing. Two years and currently. Participated in an Alpha study at The Ohio Reformatory for Women facilitating the lessons. Four years.

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

Teaching school for 33 years.

Being a grandparent.

Having 3 supportive siblings and loving parents.

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:

My first husband was diagnosed with bipolar schizophrenia after 7 years of marriage. We had two sons who were 5 and 6 years old. After three years I took the boys and left. Divorce was very hard. He died seven years later.

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. To have influence on my unbelieving children that would point them toward a relationship with God.

4. To speak more boldly about my faith with everyone I meet.

5. To memorize scripture and fully have it in my heart so that I can use it when the opportunity arises.
