1. children– ensuring their safety and growth in life and with Christ.

2. Homelessness– it rips me apart to see people face the weather with no protection. their hunger and lack of essential things is a great burden of mine. I pray often that I am provided a way to serve them through Christ.

3. Family– my family was/is broken and distant. I gather family not through blood but through Christ and the relationships He allows me to be apart of. My heart belongs to them and I am always willing to do whatever I can to help.

women and children, broken families, unconventional families– of all ages and types of people.

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

I was about 9 or ten when I knew Jesus was real and understood that He died on the cross for me. It wasn’t until 25, that I realized I needed Him to make it through every minute of everyday. I didn’t really know how to hear from Him though. I didn’t know how to pray and church had already jaded me. At 26, I fell in love with Jesus at a church that He seemingly made just fro me. It was there that I learned that I needed to read my bible daily to hear from him. It was in the reading of my bible that I learned how to pray and live. At my next church move 3 yrs later I learned that living for Christ wasn’t just about me but about serving outside of yourself and your family; serving people in my community and around the world. At my final church I am able to build relationships and serve the community and other countries I never dreamed of. Jesus has taught me that I live to give of myself. That I am a disciple of Christ and that He uses me to love and serve 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. building a sustainable homeless community with a garden and resources to implement a plan of action to help the homeless to become self sufficient.

4. building a sustainable community for teenaged mothers that teaches life skills and provides opportunities for college or trade schools which hopefully helps them become self sufficient..

5. to adopt children of all ages but specifically teenagers so that I can show them Christ love and help them achieve their dreams and a relationship with Christ.
