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 mother told me about Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and God as one when I was a little girl and she taught my brother and I about the Lord’s Prayer.

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

Los Angeles Community Church, Los Angeles, California, a member about 40 years off and on.

Church of Christ, Inglewood, California, a member for about 3 years.

Michael J.T Fisher’s Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church for less than a year as a member in Compton, California.

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

I had a near death experience whereas I endured chemotherapy and a douse of radiation to rid a cancerous tissue when I was only 23 years of age and prior to my wedding date.

I heard a voice in my right ear tell me to get over when I was driving on the highway from work with my oldest daughter in her car seat when I was about 28 years old. Although, I didn’t see anyone near me, I still just followed directions due to I was adamant and very clear that I was just told to get over by a voice that I know was a spirit that sounded like a male’s voice. I could only get over to the right because I was near the divider. As, I made the lane change my left front tire blew which caused the car to turn left. I get chills now just thinking about the fact that my daughter and I would have turned into the divider that day and who knows what the outcome could have been.

In regards to my experience with chemotherapy, I had a visit from a spirit just prior to learning that I was going to be given chemotherapy for a projection of about six months. I experienced feeling like someone sat on the hospital bed with me and it seemed as though I could even see an imprint. I saw something that looked similar to gold dust in the air although I would like to say as well that it was a reflection off of the hospital’s window from the sun rays. During that visual and audio experience, I heard in my spirit that I was going to do a lot of great works and not too worry, and that I have a lot of work to do, and in essence people need me.

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:

Some people have chosen other people’s ideas instead of mine and in the long run if my idea had been selected or celebrated the outcome would have been successful or at the least more successful.

It has hurt me to see time and time again people with bare essential material things like nice clothes for events that I don’t attend because I don’t have the money to buy nice outfits right now, to eat as healthy as I would like because the food costs more…but I still struggle to help people that won’t or can’t pay me money for my time, energy, and skills in order to help me afford to pay my bills on time as an entrepreneur.

Conversations with people I know that love me, share their disgust at the fact that I allow people to overwork me, but I sit there and listen, yet I continue to work for free, or help others in need. It hurts me often when I reflect that I have family that I know are really concerned about me, but they can’t pay me either, yet they don’t ask me for anything, they just complain about what I do for others when I know they actually want me to help them too, but they just don’t have the money to pay me. So, I feel miserable about that, yet I turn it into a thrust of energy to accomplish tasks that many people only dream of accomplishing.

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. Create my own show that I could teach about all of the things I desire to teach and share information about on a television show.

4. I would motivate people from across the globe to get back to conscious music, healthy conversations, supporting one another from the heart versus their pocketbooks.

5. I would be able to financially support people, businesses, organizations, and my past, current, and future ideas at liberty.
