[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Work with those who struggle/struggled with deep issues of self worth, addictions, hopelessness; those whom basically know what it feels like to be thrown away by society, or be the “freak”

2. Working with women to help them heal from abortions, because I know that pain will eat a person from the inside out if not dealt with.

3. Leading small groups around these things. Teaching others that they are loved, despite their past. That they do have value. Encouraging the broken.

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

Invited to a Christian church (was attending a new age kind of church, and didn’t know the difference). I was so broken, I thought there was no real hope for me, although I think I remained optimistic anyway. I was deeply searching for healing….I don’t know how aware I was of this at the time, but I wanted help and healing. I needed help and healing.

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

PRC (Pregnancy Resource Centers) of greater Portland – HEART program (where my heart was, working with post abortive women in small intensive groups that met once a week for 3 months) and also as a center peer counselor (Gresham, OR. Center). Teaching/sharing my testimony at New Beginnings Church in Portland, OR. H & I through the narcotics anonymous program. Sharing my testimony in local jails and rehab facilities. Having bible study groups in my home before my divorce after a string of surgeries.

Assistant to pastors at New Beginnings Church in Portland, OR…church where I gave my life to Christ. Helped wherever needed.

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 go everywhere and share Christ.

4. Healing others physically (like the Jesus did; like His disciples did), which also obviously means emotionally and spiritually

5. Ending poverty forever.
