Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My relationship with God and my Savior is at the center of my soul. I've always had a strong spiritual side even as a child. I start and end my day with a prayer of gratitude, for I have been truly blessed by a God who gives and takes away. He has carried me through when I was too weak to stand, He has been my rock and salvation. And He has never let me down or abandoned me. I grew up in Pennsylvania and started my spiritual journey in a Mennonite setting. It is a very quiet, humbling religion. I no longer attend a Mennonite church, as we moved when i was ten and I have since opted for Non-Denominational churches. I was baptized on grandparent's day, 2000. And I have recently, renewed my commitment to Christ.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
"Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." Romans 15:19 "To everything there is a season..." Ecclesiastes 3:1 thru 3:22 "A Psalm of David..." Psalm 103:1 thru 103:22 "...but the greatest of these is love." unsure

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
Because, I've been in a one sided relationship, that is, I was the only one who expressed my relationship with Jesus and it is a lonely place to be when you can not connect with your partner on the very thing you hold most dear. I find that love and forgiveness come easily when one has such a relationship with Christ, however, when the other does not it leads to animosity in the relationship and there seems to be forgiveness only with exception. That is not what I want for me or my partner. I need a Godly man, who puts me behind that relationship and strives to be the man God made him to be. I want him to need the same from me. I want to grow together through Christ. I want to have unconditional love and forgiveness for one another. And I believe such a loving man exist for me.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania called Mt. Union. I absolutely love it there. Imagine if you will, green as far as the eye can see, and a rushing river winding it's way through the pine covered mountains, at twilight (that's my favorite time of day) you hear no traffic, no sirens, just crickets, bull frogs, and an occasional howl from a cayote. This coupled with as many fireflys as there are stars overhead. And, I have never seen as many stars as you can see on a clear night in my home town. I've been all over the East coast and the Mid West, Colorado is as far as I've been West and that was just last year. It has got to be my single most favorite place that I have been with exception to Pennsylvania. And believe or not, I have yet to go to New York. I would most like to go to New York and California some day. I love to travel. I love to fly and desire to get my own pilot's license some day, as I have eagle's vision. I also really enjoy road trips as long as I have my music and plenty of coffee, Full Throttle, and junkfood (something salty and something sweet, so that there is balance.)

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
My favorite activities at Church are worship, singing, and fellowship opportunities, as well as the outreach programs we sponsor. Outside of that when I'm not studying, I enjoy playing with my children and my doggie, "Bulliet." They keep me young, and out of breath. lol. I also savor my quiet time during the half of the week that the kids are away at their dad's. During which, I read a lot, almost compulsively, but that's healthy, right? I rarely watch t.v., with exception to a few favorite programs. I do however love movies, especially comedies. In fact my favorite night time social outing is a trip to our local comedy club "The Looney Bin." Last year I saw Tommy Chong and his lovely wife Shelby and they both signed my tank top which read, "Tommy Chong, free at last!" And get this my friend actually made Tommy laugh. How kewllllll is that?

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I'll tell you later. It's more exhausting to think about than it actually is.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
My personal goals are to be the woman God made me to be and do all things through him, I also want to be an example to my children and a positive role model. Spiritually, I just want to continue to grow in the Lord. I strive to be of God and not of this world everyday. "I want to be like my Jesus!"
