[COLOR teal]I EMBARKED ON A QUEST TO SEEK TRUTH AND SOLACE IN COMPANIONSHIP--- AND BECAME A MEMBER OF THIS SITE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO...
AS MY "CRUSADE" TOOK FLIGHT, AND I BEGAN TO MAKE CONTACTS AND/OR FRIENDS. ALTHOUGH, I TAKE PRIDE IN REVEALING THAT MY OUTLIKE IS THAT OF MUCH OPTIMISM; I MUST ADMIT THAT A GREAT DEAL OF THESE ENCOUNTERS LED TO ME TO CONFUSION AND DISHEARTENING...
I HAVE PERSONALLY MET A HANDFUL OF "SEASONED CHRISTIANS" OF 15+ YEARS, WHOM, INITIALLY APPEARED TO BE NOTHING LIKE THEIR PHOTOS ("THIS" I CAN MOVE PAST AND LIVE WITH!)... AND WHOM LATER ATTEMPTED TO EITHER DRINK, SMOKE AND/OR SWEAR THEMSELVES INTO THE AFTERLIFE!!!... MEN WHOM SPOKE OPENLY AND CONTINUOUSLY ABOUT INTIMACY AND THEN LATER (AS I EVENTUALLY LEARNED)BECAME ENGAGED IN SELF-GRATIFICATION WHILE ON WAS ON THE OTHER END OF THE TELEPHONE!... I CAME ACROSS "BIBLE THUMPERS" WHOM WITNESSED TO OTHERS IN ANGER!..(WE ARE SIMPLY VESSELS FOR/OF THE LORD... WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR "SAVING" OTHERS!!!---WHY THE ANGER??)
ON A MORE POSITIVE NOTE:.. I EXPERIENCED MANY MOMENTS OF GREAT INSPIRATION, FROM THE TESTIMONIALS OF MEN WHOM HAD OVERCOME AND SURVIVED GRAVE ILLNESSES, OTHERS OVERWHELMING SEPARATIONS/DIVORCES, AND WIDOWERS WHOM WERE LEFT TO PICK UP THE PEICES AND EXPLAIN TO THEIR 4, 5, & 6 THAT THEIR MOTHERS WERE IN A BETTER PLACE AND THAT GOD KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING!--- MAY THE LORD CONTINUE TO BRING THEM MANY BLESSINGS AND SOLACE IN THESE VERY CONFUSING TIMES...
I AM NOT YET CERTAIN IF THE LORD IS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING... SOMETHING BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION AT THIS TIME.. PERHAPS HE IS USING ME TO RELAY A MESSAGE TO OTHERS- [B]JUST BE TRUTHFUL IN ALL YOU DO--- [/B][B]"CHRISTIANITY" IS NIETHER A "TREND" NOR A PHASE!!![/B]

[B]"Listen closely to the advice of those wiser than you, for wisdom is our greatest resource; make intelligent concessions without abandoning principles; compromise in order to help those less fortunate; and above all: always have the courage of your convictions".. This was prudent advice I was given as a young girl, and the advice I have come to pass on to my own .. I now relinquish it to you![/SIZE][/B]
FROM MY JOURNAL TO YOU:
[I]"In youth, manhood and old age, he loved his neighbour; and his faith in him reamined unshakened. His truthfulness knew no limits... to the end of his days everyone he met was an honourable, good fellow."[/I] [[SIZE 2]I]written for: Abe Lincoln[/I][/SIZE]My membership expires on the 18th of May, and I do not beleive that I shall renew this time around... those of you that have found that true non-idealistic companionship... I can only urge you to nurture and protect it like you would a newborn !
[I][B]THIS IS MADDIE IN MIAMI.. IN HIS STRENGTH ... "OVER AND OUT!"[/B][/I]

My Ideal Person
I am seeking a man with extreme adoration for the Lord, a man whom resembles Jesus in his charisma, demeanor, intellect, thinking, convictions, and word.... a man whom will enter the relationship knowing that without the Lord, all things, including our future together cannot and will not be possible!
Me in him, he in me, and both in/with Jesus... as ONE..
