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.

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.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

When I was 5 years old I remember feeling guilty about sin and needing Jesus, my savior. My parents are both in the ministry so by this age my understanding of the gospel was firm. My dad taught me scripture and my mom sang hymns and songs. They also used my adoption to teach how God adopts us into his family. I knew I loved Jesus and needed him to save me from my sin. Later my dad baptized me and I’ve been on the faith journey ever since 1989!

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

Cartersville First Baptist Church
Cartersville, GA
Kids Ministry Teacher (2010-currently)
Worship Choir (2012-currently)

Magnolia Springs State Park (The Hill Baptist)
Augusta, GA
Kids Kamp Counselor (1997-2000)

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

Being adopted and sharing my story through the book, “The Thread” to minister to families walking through adoption and to glorify God. Psalm 3:3

Growing up and being discipled in a godly home. My parents walked out their faith in front of me. They love Jesus, serve others and set a kingdom example. They taught me that there is power in the name of Jesus! Hebrews 12:5-6

In school, godly teachers surrounded me and inspired me to become a teacher so God could use me to make a difference. Daniel 1:17

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:

Being hospitalized for 22 days helped me rely on God alone. It also gave me great compassion for those with special needs. Lamentations 3:22-23

Unsealing my adoption records brought heartache and compassion. It is bittersweet to read about my birth mom. My heart is tender towards adoption from both sides. God literally plucked me out, showered me with grace and favor. Esther 4:4

After my first year teaching all new teachers were let go because of a reduction in force. Trusting God had a perfect plan helped me persevere through the tough times.

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 teach at risk children and women to read the Bible in less developed countries.

4. To write a book about or some devotions on surrending to God.

5. To hold a backyard Bible club and reach our lost neighbors.
