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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

I had always been a good person. After 2 marriages & 2 divorces (both lasted less than 5 years) and some other ups and downs, I gave my life to Christ and was baptized in my 30’s. After being single for 10 years the Lord blessed me to marry a very special Christian man and we were together for 33 years. I have a testimony of if you do it Gods way, what He can and will do for you.

Singing in the Choirs 20 years, started a Children’s Church 15+ years , directed VBS 15 years, all at New Bethel Baptist Church, DC. Outside of NBBC was with Fools for Christ Sake Clown Ministry and The Wonder House Unlimited where we ministered at many churches in the DC metro area. NY, Ohio, Tenn., Georgia, just to name a few. Taught workshops at various churches in the DMV, the Greater Washington Christian Association Conf. 3 to 4 years DMV, Child Evangelism Fellowship in the DMV, Circus Magic in Williamsburg, VA 3 to 4 years, Fellowship of Christian Puppeteers 3-4 years in various cities outside of the DMV, Cheerleaders for Christ 3-4 years between NJ & PA, Word of Life Conf. in PA, Prince Puppets in PA and One Way Street (out of Colorado) when they did conferences in the DMV.

Just knowing and learning that I had a gift and calling for the Arts in Ministry. The only thing prior to that I only knew of singing in a Choir at church and the Gospel Music Workshop of America DC chapter and National Conf.

The negative experiences from my past was going through 2 divorces which was very painful, but I grew from it and it became a stepping stone to who I am today and gave me the opportunity to share with over 50 spiritual children that came into my life over the years and I was able to share with them my story out of what I knew and not from what I had heard.

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. At this age, it is hard to say, especially since I don’t drive like I use to.

4. Continue to volunteer at the Hospital up the street like I am doing now and also at my church

5. To continue to open up my home and have greater and bigger picnics/cookouts on my property that the Lord blessed me with. Would love to run a summer camp here too for less fortune kids.
