*Sorry, no pic; soon* **Open-minded, non-judgmental Christian woman seeking the same in a man** // I know that it sounds cliche, but I try to be open-minded, to take things in life as they come, and to see people for who they truly are. I believe stereotypes can be dangerous and that appearances can be deceiving. I guess you could call me a "realist" in that sense.
I don't believe that people (especially as Christians) should judge others for who they are or what they do. There are so many twists and turns that we can encounter in this life. No one is perfect. No one always makes the right decisions or choices. Besides, who are we to say what is right or wrong? God is the judge of that. I stay busy enough just keeping up with my own life and my own decisions without worrying about what other people do.
For me that is the heart of what being a Christian means...understanding, caring, and loving each other for who we are--with our faults. Besides, we can always look back at the mistakes that we made in the past (maybe before we were a Christian and knew a different way, or even as a Christian who still happened to be human) and learn from those mistakes. We can then share those lessons with others to help them make better choices than we did. We can also help others through their tough times to let them know that we made it and so will they. Sometimes, I think that is part of the reason God lets us go through some of the more difficult things in life...so that we can help others and minister to them by showing them His grace and love.
My Ideal Person
As my profile mentions above, I am divorced. I have no reservations about discussing it. There are just too many details to try to go into in a profile. Please, feel free to ask.
However, it has been quite a while since my ex and I separated and divorced. I did not see any need to hurry into a new relationship, and I still don't. I also felt that it would be wrong to bring someone into my life if I had not taken the time to heal. That would only result in the both of us getting hurt. For lack of a better word, I am "looking" now, and I do feel that I have taken the time to heal.
I am open to a relationship/friendship developing into something more serious with time. I am not in a hurry to get married again; however, I don't think that God meant for us to spend our lives alone, and I would love to find that right person that God has out there for me. If that's what God wants for me then that would be wonderful.
I have always pictured myself as married and as a mother. I hope to have children someday either of my own, as a "step-mom" to a future husband's children, to adopt, or some combination of the above.
I look forward to meeting new people, making new friends, and possibly something more.
