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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Returned to the Lord 10 years ago. Came to believe that A relationship with Jesus was the only true way forward.

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

Chaplaincy for the homeless – music ministry – 9 years

Navajo – young people for Christ – 3 years – camp music leader

Worship support network – 2 1/2 years

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

The birth of my nephews.

Becoming a teacher.

My uncle James who was a pastor and my Grandmother Vivian who loved Jesus.

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:

My relationship with my Mother – her negative experience before I was born – how she was hurt and broken – her testimony has given me compassion.

Divorce of a friend and how it affected the children and the hurt it causes us when we feel powerless.

Break ups.

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. Homeless children’s choir

4. Healing Hearts music festival and world tour – we go to the least of these – develop networks and build fronts against the enemy through prayer houses and committed pastors and leaders

5. Developing an army of christian men to give 5 years of their lives to building fronts against sex trafficking
