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.

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

As a young child I always aware of God and though about Him often, I went to church with my grandparents often. When I started high school i started to push my parents into going to church regularly. I felt convictions from God about our culture and the I lived my life which seemed to lack important purpose and I started to read the Bible more and tried to become more involved with the church during high school. I changed my career path to suite an idea of doing something that might be more beneficial to God’s ministry. I decide to give my life to Christ and I chose my 18th Birthday to show that to the world and became baptized. But the journey wasn’t over, I had much learn about God and myself and many personal challenges with my behavior and attitudes to over come. I had to break free of some cultural influences that played a decent size role in my life, like secular music and movies. This happened after I met Hunter and he really challenged me and helped bring biblical and spiritual knowledge to the for front, convicting me once again. It has been a process and I feel like I have a long ways to go when it comes to being the person God has called me to be but I know He will work these things and refine me .
