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: 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 was raised in a christian home and attended church. When I became a teen I felt a desire to commit myself to Christ, but didn’t really understand exactly what that meant. As I have grown older, I have gained more insight into what it actually means to be a christian, but I have ebbed and flowed thru my relationship with Him during different seasons of my life.

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

Lagonda United Methodist Church – children’s ministry, liturgical dance ministry, and church council

Faith United Methodist church – children’s ministry, liturgical dance ministry, and church council
