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

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a church and I was going to church out of routine. I never really questioned why I was following this faith and who God was to me until I was 20 years old. Going on my exchange allowed me to reflect on what being a Christian means to me and only when I purposefully let God into my life, did I then get to know who he is and how great his love is for me. I am someone who feels a lot emotionally and I am sometimes overwhelmed and out of control. Nothing and nobody could ever ease this endless spiral but God. The peace that he brings is unimaginable. One minute could feel like an explosion of disappointment and the next could be a gush of peace. Only God can replace my fears with this great amount of peace. As someone who grew up loving control, letting God into my life allowed me to feel good about giving up control and allowing God to take the wheel.
