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

I did not grow up at any sort of church but in the middle of my sophomore year of high school a friend brought me to her church and I’ve gone ever since. It took me about a year to really feel God working in my life and for me to able to honestly say that I was a Christian.

Willow Creek Community Church, Illinois

I am 17 so I attend the high school service and I serve in special friends which is a program for kids with special needs.

I’ve gone to willow for a year and a half and served in special friends for a few weeks.

The winter camp for high schoolers was amazing because I learned and understood what it was to be a Christ follower

Serving in special friends has allowed me to grow and learn tremendously

My mom has inspired my every move, motive, and moral

The passing of my grandma

Losing all of my friends my sophomore year

My boyfriend breaking up with me. Sounds silly but it wasn’t my first heartbreak so it was hard, but I came to church for the first time because of it.

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 raise the most loving and accepting family I possibly could when I’m older

4. To give a speech to the world letting every human being know that they are who they are because God made them that way and that they should love themselves because it’s impossible to love others if you don’t love yourself.

5. To help all people who are suffering and help them learn from their mistakes

[E]xperience

I was born into an unequally yoked home but was saved as a child. Grew out of my Christianity as i got older (walked away from God). Was drawn by God after a life filled with several addictions and deadly habits caused by a horrible childhood and life. Divorced parents, deception of false prophets, and a host of other issues that I don’t have the time nor space to type. Now, saved by grace!

I served as associate minster at PleasantView Baptist.
1517 Kayte Street
Mobile, AL. 36617

Nazaree Full Gospel as the minister of Music for 19 years
1695 W I-65 Service Rd N, Mobile, AL 36618

Now, pastor at Sweet Pilgrim Baptist
359 Saint Charles Ave
Mobile, AL. 36617

At Pleasantview I was in one of the cities greatest choirs which prepared me for the position at the next church.

At Nazaree as minister of music i learned more about being a leader. With the responsibility of all choirs, band, video and audio personnel and equipment.

As pastor, there are several lessons I’ve learned thus far, but the greatest I believe would be patience.

Pleasantview was where I did my initial sermon but the pastor did not know how to train ministers so I was delayed in learning ministerial things.

At Nazaree I experienced church hurt by pastor and certain members that sent me in a spiritual slump that changed me forever. It gave me a new strength and deeper faith in God.

As pastor of a Baptist church i experience the lack of respect from church trustees that led me to almost give up as pastor but that patience that I spoke of learning earlier is what assisted me in waiting on God as he fought those battles for me.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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
