Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
I look at God as my loving Father who wants only the best for me. I totally trust him, but on occasion find myself trying to take back control of my life. I struggle to continue to allow Him to have complete control, but I think that is a lifelong struggle that many of us have.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
Isiah 40:28-31 ....but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
I have had 2 marriages and a couple of serious relationships and have done what "I" wanted instead of asking God what he wanted for me. If I ever get involved in another serious relationship I want to be sure I am doing it "God's way" this time.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
Michigan, moved to souther California in junior high, moved to Alaska 15 years ago. Have traveled across the US between Michigan and California numerous times as a child, once to the east cost (New York, DC, New England). Have never been in the south. There are so many beautiful places in our wonderful country, some I've seen, some I haven't. It would be fun to travel the US in a motorhome. But I would also like to see other parts of the world. I would especially like to see the ruins in Mexico, South America and Egypt. Really anywhere would be great.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
At church I haven't been much invoved other than services. I was in a singles group a few years back, but don't necessarily like being put in a "singles group" as I like a mix of people and ages (couples and singles) to socialize. Would like to see groups based on interests. I'm thinking about volunteering at Bean's Cafe soon. Outside of church I love to dance and sing. I love to get out of town, camping and fishing.
