This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Looking back over my childhood, although I didn’t grow up with a lot, it felt like more than enough at the time. Sometimes you are unable to spend a lot but it the efforts of giving or helping that are remembered. I give because someone gave to me.

[H]eart

1. Fashion/Styling it’s a true joy and passion of mine. I enjoy enhancing someone’s beauty. I enjoy seeing their confidence level increase based upon how they may now see themselves.

2. Music can help me make through many different life altering situations.

3. Helping people this ties into fashion as well. I know that I go through many challenges yet there are so many others that may be facing the same thing. I am that listening ear, that shoulder to cry on, then turn around and I am also the one to say now get up and go after it. Enjoy wallowing it’s time to move on.

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

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

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

I had been going to church with my granny for a long time and I saw how strong her belief was in the Lord and I started to pray on my own before going to sleep and God began to work in ways I didn’t understand b/c I had not given my life over to him. I have my life to him in 8th grade and I have had a lot of struggles since then but for the most part, I have never forgotten that I was his child.

Choir, Sunday school, ushering. I don’t remember the church or how many years I was involved, it was a while ago.

Graduating college

When applying for positions in the job field, always being selected for a management or leadership role no matter what I apply for

Moving from state to state or school to school can be looked at as negative or positive.

Not having a lot of income – hand me down Clothing

Heartbreak or heartache

Growing up around all white ppl had me wanting to change my look and my appearance but I know that I am enough.

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. Dream career being able to be the wardrobe stylist for tv series, movies and stage plays

4. Family- a successful marriage with my husband and children

5. To have my non-profit in play assisting with all of those less fortunate, those that are unclothed, hungry, abused, those that don’t have new clothes for school, children with out parents or a family and those that do not have a dress for prom.
