This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have been through a lot of trials in my life and I understand how discouraging it can be when you’re in the thick of your storms. Having people in your corner when you lose your way is a huge life saver.

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

I’ve always known Christ but never grew up in the church. I had a desire to know Christ better in 2012 and found a church to attend. I still didn’t feel the connection that I desired and decided to leave the church and try to do things on my own. In 2014, I became engaged and was invited to visit ZION church. It was during the break of that relationship and me having to deal with my desire to seek love from men that I missed out on from my drug addicted father that pushed me into the arms of Christ. Hitting rock bottom and dealing with the pain of my past force me to seek for the help I couldn’t get from this world.

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)?

• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. Helping children in my old community thrive and combat system issues.
