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.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

GOD has always pulled at me my whole life without cease. As I became a parent it was important that I guided my children to Christ . As a wife and mother you need GOD strength daily and I know he has been with me. All the time. There was not big dramatic event that brought me to Christ. He was always drawing to me to him. I could feel him throughout my life. The older I got the more I listened for him.

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

n/a

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

Becoming a mother I understood that I was my responsibility to show my children what Christ looks like as the world showed then different. I know they had to learn it from me not the world .

When my parents died I was empty and lost hope. But through it all GOD showed me that all things on earth are temporary. But heaven is eternal, they will be there so rejoice.

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:

I feel that the not so pleasant things that happen in our lives help us . They have great lesson and I feel like when I go through things I’m building muscles.

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. Help the homeless find housing options, purchase lots ans bulid econmical housing for people to own. I think it is important to have a place you call home.

4. Start a employment and training center to help finds jobs for those in need. Offer free training to assist those looking to futher their education.
