***UPDATE*** [As of September, 2009]
I have uploaded additional photos, all of which are recent, having been taken within the last month.
Thank you.
Hello. I'm glad you decided to read through my profile. First and foremost, I am a Christian, and I trust the Lord in everything - including a life mate. The Bible says that "He who finds a wife finds a good thing..." (Pvbs.), and as such I have been very hesitant to do things that make me appear to be the one doing the "finding". However, what I have found is that men are also hesitant, and this most certainly includes other Christian men.
I am a very strong woman from a long line of strong women. I have both Italian and German blood within my veins, so I can be somewhat intense -some have called me quite passionate about life. I hope so, as long as my focus is on Christ. I have a large family, with three younger siblings, (one of which is married with a daughter), and too many extended members to mention. I love my family, and I will always be close to them - and although this may not necessarily mean logistically close, they are an integral part of who I am.
I want to serve God, and I want to do so by serving others. I believe in the responsibility we each bear as Christians to use our gifts wisely, and that "to whom much is given, much is required." I believe much will be and is required of me, because I have been blessed with many gifts and talents. I say this with all humility, as I know that it will not be an easy road.
The world of today rarely recognizes the reality of sin, and this is hard for me to swallow. I believe that the Lord has set before his children a call to duty, and I want to respond - I want to honor Him through obedience. I am a very black and white type of person, but I am also very compassionate, having to rely on the Holy Spirit for the proper balance of truth and emotive expression.
Because I do not see a biblical allowance for remarriage for a Christian apart from the death of one's spouse, I have chosen to remain faithful to that conviction, and as such I am not at liberty to engage a relationship with someone who is divorced if the former spouse still lives.
I know this is a very hard position for many to agree with -and I understand entirely that most will hold a different position. Nonetheless, I must walk obediently to what the Lord has placed upon my spirit, and I trust that those who read my profile will respect as much, for it is not a position against anyone, but rather a position in union with obedience.
It is my belief that one should always be honest, and as such I hold myself and those I am involved with to a standard of honesty.
this world is in a most severe place of trouble these days - my heart grieves for those who have no active hope -
may my life be found to honor the Lord in sharing a true and living hope!
I want my life to count for the Kingdom, and I want my life's ministry to be first found in serving my husband, as he serves the Lord, thereby allowing us to serve the Lord together.
My Ideal Person:
I am looking for a relationship that honors the Lord - for someone who is yielded to the Lord and willing to assume responsibility.
My heart desires a life of service to others; my head desires constant acquisition of knowledge, and my spirit longs for the wisdom of God in all things!
I am interested in a relationship with a very secure and strong man of God who understands both dedicated leadership and gentle service to those he loves.
I further believe GOD's standard for living to be holiness, and while none of us are perfect, I do believe that we have been given all that we need for life and godliness -
I enjoy mental challenges, and I especially enjoy a man with strength of character, boldness when appropriate - but balanced with gentleness and kindness.
I desire a leader, and a very secure one at that, as I myself am a leader. As such, I believe I will truly respond well only to those who are very grounded in their identity in Christ as a man and future head of a relationship.
I want to respect you, and I want you to do as the Bible says and love me. I want to know that my partner has a continuously growing relationship with the Lord, and is totally dependent on Him.
I desire a union that gives birth to a singleness of purpose. I seek someone with a heart, a mind, and a vision. I know better than to think this impossible, for through Christ all things are possible.
Pray about it, then get back with me.
