Hi! I'm christian and I'm looking for a man who believes in God. As a new christian (4 years), I spend a lot of time learning about my faith and I am very involved in my church - the United Church of Christ (very liberal, just so you know). I'm not worried about your denomination as long as you know that God rules over your life. I haven't figured it out but I feel like my life will have to be very different from most of what I see done in the world to live the way God wants me to. Here are some things that my friends say they admire about me - yes, I'm lucky to have good friends who tell me these things unsolicited: I usually enjoy myself no matter what I'm doing, I make people feel comfortable, and I am open to learning new things. I like telling stories and joking with people to entertain them and me. But not all the time. I also enjoy serious conversations with my friends and spend a lot of time by myself. I am starting a career in art (painting) and also hope to start a professional organizing business in the next year. I took a lower-stress, lower-salary job to give me more time for that and I do outside work. My faith is helping me to imagine how to live life outside of conventional path for someone in my social group: go to school, go to college, work for someone else, go to grad school and get married (or vice versa), have kids,... have a mid-life crisis, try to do with life what you should have done earlier. Sorry for the downer, but this is scary to me. I think there are many exciting possibilities for life and I meet many inspiring people who have been very creative in building fulfilling and fruitful lives. Are you one of them?
My Ideal Person:
I get the feeling that I will be surprised by who my ideal match is so I hesitate to be specific. I know that I like people who are different from/complementary to me. But I suspect that I need some things in common with them.
