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

My mothers love for the things of god. Her introducing me to the story of Jesus as a child. How he served and was obedient to his fathers will. How i learned as i got older gods design for the church to be the reflection of his love mankind.

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

Shiloh Baptist Church-member, Brunswick, Georgia from childhood to 1969

Mc Culloughs Temple-member,New Britian, Connecticut from 1969-1971

Covenant Life Ministries – usher, Duarte, California from 1993-2007.

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

The presents of God upon church.

The pray life.

The word, sense of community, unity, fellowship and most of all the love and respect for family.

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:

Fear or lack of focus in the church.

Losing respect for leaders who teach/preach one way and act another.

Having integral people in the church who understood as a body (true family )to stand on the principles of the doctrine of gods governing authoritative power. He’s the same today; yesterday and forever.Not some idolatry that causes people to run from pillar to post seeking salvation when it suits our (fancy )flesh. I put my trust in god not in man. Proverbs 3:5 Esv. Psalms 37: 4-6. Love thy neighbor as thy self. We must refocus our lives and future to being obedience to the ten commandments. Truly or balm in Gilead.

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 love unconditional. That agape love. More than enough.

4. To be care free of all worldly things that would cause me to stray from God.

5. To have a clear path to the mansion
