My Ideal Person:
Ideally, I hope to meet someone who wants to marry his soulmate. I would enjoy serving the Lord side-by-side with a loving, compassionate husband. In my "perfect world" we would serve the Lord about two weekends a month and spend the other two with family and friends or on romantic getaways. I appreciate a gentleman who is assertive yet flexible. I tend to be attracted to Godly men who are kind, intelligent, physically strong, hardworking, calm in times of crisis, and have a gentle sense of humor. In addition, a man who writes well truly impresses me.

Favorite films: Forest Gump, Titantic, A Walk to Remember

Favorite musicians or bands: Eagles, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Jim Croce

Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
I am thankful that Jesus Christ died for my sins so that I can be presented holy before a sinless God. I believe in the Trinity--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I am grateful that the Lord will never love me more or less than He does today and that I am important. It is wonderful to be a child of the King! I want to bring honor and glory to His name and be Jesus-like in character.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
My favorite verses are: For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8 Also, the verses about the meaning of love, Psalms, Proverbs, and the Song of Solomon touch me deeply.

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
I want God to fully bless my future husband and I. The Bible stresses the importance of being equally yoked. I expect the man in my life to be the spiritual leader in our home.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in a tiny country town in Grand Ridge, Florida. While in the U.S. Army from June 1980 to June 1984 I was stationed in South Carolina, Texas, Georgia, and Mannheim, West Germany. During my stint in Germany, I took tours through France, Spain, Rome, and Denmark. Since then I have done very little traveling, although I would enjoy having that opportunity again.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
At church I love to listen to and absorb an excellent message, socialize with good people, and help out in any way I can. I find "Celebrate Recovery" and growth classes informative and helpful. Potlucks, barbeques, and beach bonfires are great fun.

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
During a typical day I exercise for an hour, shower, eat breakfast, and go to work early to prepare for my day. I teach all subjects to elementary age kids. This coming year I will be teaching Kindgarten for the first time! After school, I often teach the after school program. Then, I go home and grade papers, read, and attend church on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays. I then come home, take another shower, read or watch TV for an hour, and then go to bed.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
On a personal level, I want to write books that bring honor to God and also some that simply delight children. On a spiritual level, I want to please God with my thoughts, actions, and words. I want Him to use me powerfully for His purposes. I pray for wisdom and direction.
