His Mercy and His Grace to do His Will in His Timing - it works! I've recently received the blessing of God's Best for me, my husband Ray!...the wait seemed long and my faith did waver a bit, but I kept returning to the Word and standing. In the end it came down to God's Promises, my love walk and my increasing faith in God...I had to learn what the Word tells me is mine, learn to let people off the hook for not being perfect and learn to trust God for the outcome, not myself or man.
In the process I was broken, eventually even fired from two jobs! (I've never been fired before!) But being fired from those two jobs led me to working in a place that had already offered me a job, which I had rejected - and that is where I met Ray. God works in mysterious ways...
For all of those still looking...God has a plan, if you're the man, seek God's purpose in your life and He will lead; if you're the woman seek God's purpose in your life and wait patiently.
Don't forget, our main source of joy is God, and what He wants more than anything is for us to represent Jesus on this earth so that hurting people can be helped. Our prayers go out to you!

Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
Faith is the substance of things I hope for and the evidence of things I have not yet seen. Without faith I cannot please God. I definitely put faith in God and trust in God right at the top of my list. I am nothing without God and God can accomplish very little in my life without my faith resting in Him.
Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
1st Corinthians 13 - According to Jesus' two commandments, love is to be our first priority. We're to do the loving and let God do the judging - if we do the judging the power of God's love won't be visible in the earth.
Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
A three strand cord is not easily broken - and who can bind two people together better than God? He is the ultimate third strand! If any couple truly wants to live the God kind of life, there will be a God kind of love, a God kind of submission, and a God kind of honor radiating from the God like relationship they have with one another.
Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I've spent a majority of my life right here in Oklahoma and have a lot of family here. I've also traveled rather extensively in the lower 48 but not much in the upper 48. I love traveling by vehicle and stopping to view nature's beauty along the way - would love to do see more of what this country has to offer.
What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
Like I said, I love the outdoors and just about anything to do with being in it. I don't fish or hunt but I can appreciate it. I enjoy spending time with my family, which is rather large; recognizing their special dates and being a part of group activities.
I volunteer at church, right now in the coffee service area, and enjoy serving God's house and God's people tremendously. I hope to find a husband that would share that enthusiasm.
What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I assist several elderly people with their homes by helping them in areas they need it. These are people who are physically well enough to stay in their homes but need a 'helper' to keep it up. I have several days a week that are committed to certain people and then some days that are open to respond to others. I'm very fulfilled by this work and show them Christ' love in me as I work. I am very blessed!
What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
I'm convinced that God will give me the desires of my heart, but as a new creation I realize that my desires are His desires for me. I really don't try to fill my future with too many things - I just want to be there for God to work through me what He needs done on this earth.
My spiritual goal is to become a better reflection of Jesus every day.
