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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My mom died when I was thirteen, leaving me with a 9 month old sister and 9 year old brother to care for, because their father was a drug addict/alcoholic that left us alone most of the time. I spent years believing there was no God, because if there were one that let these things happen to me, he would be the most cruel person ever known. After years of living with struggles, good times, and then worst times, I realized the hole in my heart was for Him. I decided to go check out the “Church on the Hill” and the moment I walked through the doors I felt like I was home. Since that day I have craved the knowledge I get from the Word and I know all I have to do is trust Him and know he won’t let me down.

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

Crossroads Church, Grain Valley/MO, Worship Team 1 1/2 years

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

Having my children has made the biggest impact on my life.

Finding my core group of friends who are all spiritually driven.

Completing high school and college, despite everything going on in my life.

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:

Growing up with parents who drank and used drugs.

Being left on my own at 13 years old.

Having a child who has been diagnosed with severe depression.

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 to Columbia on a mission trip to help with camps

4. Open a youth center for all kids in my city with special focus on those at risk.

5. Join a worship team that travels, so I can help share God’s word and lead/encourage as many people as possible.
