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

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in “church”. At college I was involved with the UCCF but after college I did not have a church home and so there was no grounding. Increasing as time went by I felt the urgent .need to return to God as life was proving to be meaningless and without purpose. I now see a joyous future with Christ despite the daily challenges I face. There is hope in what is to come.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

TLC is my first real church home.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

The friends that I made while at college have set an example of how I ought to live my life

Assisting with the planning of a class reunion for both locals and foreign residents, gave me confidence that I had talent to see a project through and that I had skill worthwhile

Going back to school after a long while gave me the opportunity to be in a job I basically love

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Getting out of relationships that were essentially meaningless. I realize that I able to be by myself and be content.

The death of my parents drives to work and live in such a manner that will honour them
