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 have always been drawn to Jesus, but I was called when I was six years old. Since then God has been my safety, my father and where I turn to when life was troublesome. Always been involved in a church but It’s only these last year I finally have come home to my true family and what a joy and blessing.

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

Saronkyrkan, Gothenburg Sweden, almost 3 years. Serving in the Fika group 2 years and leading a small group 1 year

The Lighthouse Sisterhood, Gothenburg Sweden, Leader less than a year

Svenska kyrkan, Stenungsund Sweden, 18 years. Children’s activities for 3 years and elected to the church council for 8 years

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

Different Pastors both in Sweden and online

The young women who I share my home with. There wisdom, love for God and each other.

Messages from God and praying

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:

Miscarriages and a chronic illness

Divorce

When people are more concerned about their facade than real people. So when you realize that they need help it’s to late

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 build a church in Gothenburg

4. To learn more about God so I can pass it on

5. Bible journaling and doing it with others
