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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was brought up in a home where I went to church on Sundays and a private, Christian school until 8th grade. When I went to 8th grade I strayed from my faith, but the summer before my senior year at 17 years old I have a stroke. For the 6 months following that stroke I felt like I could have died and was “living it up” even more. In January of my senior year I gave my life to Christ after feeling like nothing in the world could truly satisfy me. My mom was the one who asked me about how I was living and asked if I wanted to give my life to Jesus and I did!

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

Buffalo, NY – greeting, women’s ministry, church plant alongside my husband

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

Getting Married

Having Children

Getting my bachelors degree in 3 years and my masters degree in 1 year

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:

Stroke at 17 years old

Giving up all friends and boyfriend for the sake of Christ in high school

Financial stress giving up an income to raise three children

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. a multipurpose “Center” to serve individuals in the community both with tangible needs (food, clothing, job search help, supplies, health insurance assistance, etc) but also and primarily a faith-based portion which informs them of the gospel, fulfilling their ultimate need. In these services counseling/discipleship would also be a component

4. Missions trips

5. Discipleship groups with women – whatever that looks like
