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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

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 first gave my life to Christ and got baptised as a child because I believed it was the right thing to do. I do not believe I had a relationship with God but I followed the rules. Because I lacked the foundation of a relationship, the rules started to feel burdensome and I thought that if my heart wasn’t in it, then it made no sense, so I decided to live life without considering what God wanted. As an adult, several disappointments led to me to seek God once more. I wanted to see if it could be a different experience this time and I needed to soothe my broken heart. When my coworker invited me to church, I was eager to go and I learned how to apply biblical truths to my life. I learned how to have a relationship with God in which I did not feel like I was constantly failing Him but instead growing with His guidance. Because of this new experience, I decided to recommit my life to Christ.
