This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
That is what I feel the most compelled to do. I don’t seize every opportunity to do it, but I wait for the right time, and ask God to guide my words. I don’t think I do this, but I just let God do it through me. It isn’t me, I just listen to God and tell people what I hear. This is also what I need others to do for me. I feel like I don’t often get encouragement, and I don’t seek it out, but this is what I need from others, so I guess it kind of makes sense that I would do the same

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I mean, I’ve taught before, and people said I did well, but its been a while. I do love to teach about the Bible, especially when its something God has placed on my heart, but I don’t think I’m particularly good at it.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve done a lot of serving, but mainly because I’ve done it with groups. This is my opportunity to interact with others. although I’m usually more focused on those I’m serving with rather than those I’m serving

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

I grew up in the church, but it wasn’t until I started to treat God like a person rather than a concept that I became strong in my faith. I was Luke-warm at best until I started to talk directly to God, rather than just pray. Back and forth conversations aren’t a common occurrence, but I feel like I connect with God better when I talk to him as a real person rather than the all powerful deity, which sometimes makes me forget my position.

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. Bring 1 person to Christ. I’d love to do more, but if I can say that I introduced one person to Jesus, or in some way made them better for the glory of God, I could be content

4. Uniting the church, not so that we are all the same, but so that there is not conflict, and we can work together

5. Breaking down systems that keep people away from God. Anything that stands between us and him HAS to go, especially if its something the church is doing
