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

I’m not sure I guess. I became more familiar and connected to church in high school. Even more connected when pastor Brenda started due to her warm and welcoming personality.

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

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

School to work program that helped me start my journey to becoming a nurse.

My parents who have supported me with every decision I’ve made in life! Or helped to guide me away from the questionable ones!

Meeting my boyfriend Kyle who I hope to marry someday. He is the most postive and loving man I have ever met. He strives to be the best person he can be which encourages me to do the same!

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:

I wouldn’t say it’s a specific experience but definitely dealing with depression and anxiety in my life has helped me to open up better to my patients, family and friends that express their struggles with me. It makes me a more honest person to just talk about the thoughts that go through my head.

Growing up middle school was tough. Girls were very mean and unrealistic to each other. This helps me to encourage young girls that I know, to be kind and also confident in themselves.

I would say I haven’t always had the best relationships with boyfriends in my life. I think having so many experiences with that has really helped me to see what type of man I want to be with and has helped me to value myself more as a woman.

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. I would love to create a program for people struggling with depression and anxiety that may have lead to other unheakthy codependencies

4. Make sure every dog has a loving home.

5. Make sure everyone else knows about this course because this is only the first day and I already feel so uplifted and enthusiastic to learn more and use my purpose to its fullest.
