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

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

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

Heard Gospel as child, prayed to accept Jesus. In college realized I was raised too legalistically and found GRACE which guides my life with scripture

I am 71 years old. Raised in Africa on the Mission field, worked in serving churches all my life in practical ways such as organizing social activities or cooking for homeless,etc, giving rides, teaching all age levels, did not care for evangelizing gangs, sewing and knitting for missionaries, working at Foster kids Christmas party, decorating our church, taking photos, teaching Bible studies, mission trips gardening and playing with kids, helping with crafts, etc

Praying and receiving answers to huge prayers, seeing God’s guiding hand through trials, seeing my neighbor and her family come to find Jesus through 15 years of prayer and involvement with them, reading the Bible and finding God’s LOVE and GRACE, finding Eastside and meeting the people in the 2 hiking groups- growing and sharing with each other

Financial hardships-getting food from church donations , Brother’s suicide, Niece on drugs and watching her children, testifying in court taking her kids away

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. Helping in poverty countries including our own, even teaching English. Doing what God has put me in presently day to day. I wish I could put an end to Sex TRAFFICKING

4. Same question as #3

5. I would like to edit Children’s materials for the Gospel truths and how to teach them
