My Ideal Person:
My Ideal Partner: We would be best friends and truely enjoy being in each other's company (even doing the little day-to-day things). We would have an incredible prayer life or bible study time together (worship) and be physically attracted to one another. We would be involved in one another's extended families.
I hope he would seek the Lord’s will in every decision in our lives because sometimes I forget to. Life is complicated—and so am I. But through the grace of God, I navigate each day. I also hope to find a partner who would be able to forgive my faults and sins; who is strong in his walk with God and puts God first; who is secure in his job and finances; who is masculine; who isn’t afraid to try new things and is adventurous; and who is stable. I like to travel and visit new places, but I am ready to settle down and call one place home—wherever that may be.

Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
I am nothing without Him.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
Colossians 1:13 Psalm 103: 2-5 Philippians 1:6 Psalm 37:4 Micah 6:8 2 Cor. 12:9-10 Luke 12:34 Ephesians 4:5 Revelation 3:15-16

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
Marriage is a covenant made under God and in the presence of fellow members of the Christian family. Such a pledge endures, not because of the force of law or the fear of its sanctions, but because an unconditional covenant has been made. A covenant is more solemn, more binding, and more permanent than any legal contract. This is important to me. In his book, "Why Get Married", Daniel Freeman, states, "Marriage is a relationship between man and woman intended by God to be a monogamous relationship, intended to be a permanent bond in which many needs are satisfied-the need to love and be loved, the need for deep friendship, for sharing, for companionship, for sexual satisfaction, for children, the need to escape loneliness. Marriage ought to be a bond of love, reflecting the love Christ has for His people, a bond of sacrificial love where husband and wife have become one, one flesh, a unity.” I agree wholeheartedly and could not have said this better.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I was born in Ohio. I have lived many places, such as CA, WY, NE, ND, NM, VT, Italy, Belgium and now China. I have visited most of the US states while moving (or at least driven through them) and my favorite thing to do on a weekend is to visit someplace new nearby.....

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
I like to be with my friends. The activity doesn't really matter, as long as there is good fellowship.

What is your day like? Describe your daily routine.
I wake up and spend time in The Word. Most mornngs, I call my parents to check in and let them know I am ok. I go to teach every morning and in the afternoon usually take a nap. All of China naps during this time! (When in Rome.........) Then I check in on the internet and respond to emails....Do my schoolwork, occasionally run errands, have dinner and go to bed.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
My greatest personal goal is to fufill my heart's desire: to be a wife and a mother. However, this is in the Lord's hands. Spiritually, I hope to grow closer to Him each day, instruct any children I may have in His ways and see Jesus face to face.
