1. Meeting and making new friends.

2. enjoying the outdoors and Gods entire creation from the micro to the macro,

3. , growing closer to God in many ways as I age.

I am a great listener and seem to make friends easily and quickly…all ages and types are fine with me and for me..each is special yet we are all the same in many ways…

I am concerned that evil seems to be growing in the world and the attacks on Christianity I KNOW for certain thru my dealings with folks on social media, are growing in intensity and frequency…we must grow closer as Chrisitans and learn to push back by our example or by actual words that challenge and expose many of them to be hateful and unchangeable…

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

Originally raised as a Christian,,,became agnostic and then a miracle happened causing a rebirth

Way Ministry…three years….Anchorage

BSF ten years in Anchorage

My church is out there amongst the people and Gods creation…now joining Rabbit Creek church in Anchorage and one other small group of Christians who meet weekly

Being a dependent brat, we moved quite often…this taught me to give up the past and that there are always NEW friends not yet met who are waiting to meet you when you move…living in Europe as a teen did much for me

Studying the bible formally in BSF which answered so many questions I struggled with, taught me many new and great things, and made me grow closer to GOD nd especially the HS

At my moms funeral, I was the last to go to her casket..as i knelt I broke down until two friends took me by the elbows and got me up…suddenly there was a tap on my shoulder…a stranger said YOU DONT KNOW ME, but I have a story to tell you that I promised your mom I would never tell…My husband left me alone with three young kids…no money nothing…one day your mother appeared at our door with bags of clothing for my kids, bushels of food of all kinds, and a large handful of crumpled fives and tens and twenties she had stashed for a long time…she made me promise to keep it secret…I did… THAT WOMAN allowed my mom to speak to me from the grave and teach me a great lesson in humility and giving…no one in my family knew of what she did those couple times she anonymously visited that mom with three little kids in the cold winter of maine…

five years of being a shut in from pain etc..followed by six major surgeries in fifteen months…taught me a lot even though it was all negative

Intense periods of lonliness and alchoholism with two DWI arrests and getting lost in the prison system for three days

When I had my tonsils out at age twenty two I hemhorraged three times in ten days…the second time I was drowing in my sleep and the third time I almost died twice on the OR as they tried desperatelyy to stop the bleeding

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. 1) to teach or help spread the WORD

4. 2) To study the bible much more than now so i can learn and thus grow closer to God

5. 3) to help the community to grow and perhaps come to Jesus.
