Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Exposed to the Gospel early. Attended Church regularly. At Christian summer camp, it all came together for me that Christ died for me and I needed to respond.

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

Teen SS superintendant(3 years), Choir (forever), worship team (3 years), Children’s SS teacher(decided teaching young children was NOT my passion), AED coordinator (1 year to set up program). Faith Community Church, Hopkinton, Mass.

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

Trip Nurse for Youth Mission trips, Urban/Rural/Foreign.

College and Career Group that helped shape my world view.

Being a part of a Church Body wherever we moved: California, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, Maine. Belonging.

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:

Caring for failing parents, meeting their needs as they transitioned from home, to assisted living, to nursing facilities and beyond. Executor of their estate.

Loss of a job early in my career: Insight into what my skills were and where I wanted to take my career. Dr. Office nursing was NOT a positive experience but I learned a lot about myself and working with others.

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. Live closer to my children/grandchildren and being more of a part of their lives.

4. Be patient and supportive of my husband as he experiences failing health and abilities.
