I'm a Christian mom with two teenagers (high school & college ages) I have a busy, happy life. I am a committed Christian - attend church regularly and am very active in the church. I also facilitate a weekly Bible study group. So I'm serious about my faith - but I don't take myself too seriously. Loving God doesn't have to be somber - but is very joyful. I am so grateful for the many blessings God's given me - Jesus as my savior, great , wonderful family, incredible friends, my church home, my job, my home, and I know there's some talents hidden somewhere, which I'm still trying to figure out!
People tell me that I'm a great friend and can always be counted on. If I say I'll take care of something, you can trust that it will get done. (Of course the same people who tell me this are also trying to convince me to take on some new responsiblity or head up some committee, so these comments may be suspect!) However, I am getting much better at saying "no" when I think my plate is about to overflow.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know people and what makes them who they are - their likes, dislikes, spiritual feelings, past experiences, etc.
By the grace of God, I feel that this is the best time in my life - my are pretty self-sufficient, my career is established and I enjoy what I do, I'm financially secure (as much as anyone can be today), and I feel like a sponge - absorbing and learning new things everyday. And at this stage, I'd really like to have Christian male companionship. I'm not in a hurry to head for the altar again (I'll leave that in God's very capable hands), but I have come to realize how much I do enjoy spending time with a man. You guys are just so darned interesting! Doesn't have to lead to marriage or even a serious relationship, but perhaps a good friendship, which is an excellent starting point for sure!
My Ideal Person
A man who has a relationship with Christ and enjoys the life He's provided. A praying man who is not afraid to openly discuss his faith and beliefs. In terms of activities - a non-sportaholic. (Not a problem if you enjoy sports, but if your life revolves around sporting events, probably not a match made in heaven!) I do enjoy attending some sporting events in person (Stars, Mavs, Rangers), but I wouldn't sit in front of the tv to watch them. As far as personality goes, a sense of humor is paramount - you don't have to be funny, but you do have to recognize and appreciate the humor all around us. Might enjoy doing any of the following - going to plays, movies, dancing, concerts, walks, eating out (or maybe you're a good cook!), going to the sporting events above, and great conversation. A person with energy and enthusiasm for getting out and doing things. And it would be great if the relationship developed into attending services together on occasion. Although for some I understand that that is a very personal experience and that's fine, too. In terms of looks, I think the most important thing is to do your best to take care of yourself. But there is so much more to attraction than an outward appearance. I have met men that could be on the cover of GQ that did nothing for me. There is an inner sense that comes out in a man's appearance that is far more telling. It's in the way you carry yourself and walk and smile and talk and respond that can take a woman's breath away. I know it does mine. How do you put a description around that. Again, it's all in the eye of the beholder just as I believe it is for you guys!
