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: 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

In 1987, I attended the DVBS in my country, the Passion of Christ struck me. I realized how He loved me and He died for me to save me from eternal punishment of death. I accepted Him as my personal Savior because I believed that only with His grace I will be saved.
