I love working any age person, that brings maturity and a hunger to grow and learn. Persons who are passionate and diligent.

I am concerned that church ministries/bodies are as transparent as they ought to be. What excites me the most is that the church is growing and the people of God are professionals in their sectors/careers and so this wide expertise may be used to grow God’s kingdom.

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

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

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

I had been going to church for basically all my life, on making another big decision in life to get married, we felt that it was time we made the greatest decision of our lives to get baptized. So my husband and I got baptized 4 months after getting married.

Rehoboth Gospel Assembly – Served on the women’s fellowship

The love of a strong mother, who taught me that I can do anything with God and whose belief in me built my confidence.

Next to Christ, realizing I could not have asked for the unconditional love of my husband as I know that when I got married at 20, I had no clue what that looked like. But when I was pregnant and it fully hit me what love was based on how he prioritized me and our children always leave me in awe and with a grateful heart.

When my mother was diagnosed with anxiety and the fact that for years we didn’t even acknowledge outside of the house there was an issue. See her suffering but never letting go of her belief in God, has given me a heart for persons in pain and wanting to be there for them.

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 be available to listen to persons hurting and be able to motivate them using the word of God.

4. I would take responsibility for a girls home, raising money for projects and assisting with the planning for the girls in the home.

5. Create a foundation to assist young mothers.
