[H]eart

1. I love mentoring women of all ages and helping them trust God through the trial and joys of family life.

2. I love doing prayer ministry with people, both as an intercessor and as a prayer minister who facilitates deep transformational healing prayer in partnership with the Holy Spirit.

3. I find great joy in loving and playing with my grandchildren. I use creative ways to stimulate them and to help them discover the wonders of God and His personal love for them.

50-50 Routine/Variety

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

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

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

While in nursing school, the message of God’s forgiveness and personal love for me penetrated my heart. His love is what has compelled me to hunger to know Him and to share what I know with others.

Discovering Who I am in Christ through the godly example and teaching of women in my life

Trusting God to leave the U.S. to be a fulltime missionary in Ecuador and to rely on His faithfulness and love even when our plans were radically changed.

Receiving” inner healing”/transformational prayer ministry and training through Elijah House Ministries and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit

42 years of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Scoliosis have produced great challenges and physical suffering, yet, as a result, I am much more sensitive to suffering which others experience…

Facing my own emotional and spiritual brokenness, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit I have received in those areas, has opened many opportunities for me to facilitate “healing” and transformation in others.

Leaving the mission field against my will for my husband’s well-being forced me to learn about my own sinful pride and bitterness. It brought me to new levels of faith in God through the wilderness times of life.

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. Equip more people to do healing prayer ministry and receive more training personally from Bethel Church, Judith MacNutt and Bridgeway churches

4. Teach women the life changing truths of Identity in Christ, the Exchanged Life, Life in the Spirit vs Life in the Flesh and Spiritual Warfare

5. Initiate a major prayer movement to urge the Holy Spirit to bring revival to the men, even Christian men, who are slumbering in spirit
