My Ideal Person
My gentleman would like to slowly share conversations and activities related to faith/family/friends/profession/interests. He would like to mingle with others or would be happy having quiet simple moments with me. He needs to be self confident enough to enjoy an active and independent but old fashion lady with southern charm. He needs to be the fun, athletic type that takes care of himself & me. Him being "progressive" in sharing his wisdom and faith with my teenagers would definitely appeal to my reverent heart and intellectual mind.

Favorite films: Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Rwanda, The Passion,

What are your favorite musicians or bands?: Various assortments.

Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My faith has been a central part of my life since I was a little girl. I don't see my religion, the traditions used to engage with my relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit (the trinity), as a road block in truly knowing my Lord but instead as a spring board in my intrigue into the reasoning(past) behind the traditions/the history of the world at the time of my Lord/understanding the mysteries of our heavenly Father that is slowly revealed as I grow my prayer and faith.
