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 grew up in a Christian house hold, but really accepted Christ for myself in my early 20’s

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

St. Johns-‘s- since 2002- nursery volunteer, Sunday school teacher, Vestry member, Outreach, school board

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

Education

Quality people who encouraged me

Being a parent

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:

Challenging childhood

Difficult/abusive 1st marriage

Watching someone I love battle cancer and suffer

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. Starting and maintaining an animal sanctuary or rescue organization for abused/stray animals. I have a heart for animals and believe as they have no voice, we are called to advocate for and protect them.

4. Obtaining another degree in something of interest that would allow me to do something to help others. I have always been interested in theology, but not sure yet what I would do. I started the MFA program at SMU many years ago and would like to complete it.

5. Volunteer more. There are several organizations I believe in but don’t currently have the time to commit. I always think I will once my kids are grown and I have more time! Anytime I do volunteer, it such an enriching experience
