Christ was drawing me to Himself for a long time before I was converted at the age of 26. A pivotal point in my life was when I was about the age of twelve. That's when I can remember seriously thinking about God. I even went so far as bringing the topic up to my parents, who were raising me Catholic. Unfortunately they just kind of blew me off. I persisted with questions for a while, but they had no answers. That kind of steered me to suppress my thoughts of God, my sinfulness, my helplessness, hell, and evil.

Then as I got into my late teenage years I had a conviction of sin that my friends seemingly did not have. They'd glory in their teenage pranks, and I'd end up feeling guilty when I joined in. I was still blind and lost, and this sense of guilt and condemnation for things that I had done wrong throughout my life continued until I got saved.

During these years when I was being drawn to Christ there were more seeds being planted. For example, stumbling across a Christian radio show, someone giving me a bible and recorded Christian sermons, working with a disgruntled Christian - lol.

So this all culminated in my conversion when I was 26, which was a year after I graduate from college (I started college late, and it took me some time to figure out what to major in.). For some reason (God) I started surfing through Christian TV. This was the most receptive that I had ever been to born again Christians. They always bothered me, but I didn't know why, nor did I connect them to Christ or a way out of my sin. They just got me mad and I thought they were really weird! Lol!

As I was saying, I started parsing through different Christian TV programs on Sundays. Some of them were just strange, so I'd turn them off. Eventually I stumbled upon a good preacher. I was probably listening to him preach for a few Sundays in a row, and then it all made sense! The scene is stuck in my head. I can see myself sitting on my couch, and at the end of the pastor’s program, the light bulb went on. It was like a sheet was pulled from before my eyes and I could understand the glorious and simple gospel of Christ. I stood up off of my couch and said yes about two or three times. I believed and knew I just had to say yes in repentance. So I did, and my burden was lifted. =)

As for my walk these days, it’s going good.

TULIP has completely humbled me, and made me able to see myself no different than any unbeliever, except for the grace of God.

Yes. It's my aim to set apart time every day to read the Word and pray. I'm pretty good at doing so, and have found great benefit from that in my life. =)

Lately I've been reading Joe Morecraft's book on worship / the regulative principle.

Sometimes!! - lol!

I haven't asked, so I'm guessing... funny, trustworthy, passionate, and smart.

1.God

2.My salvation

3.My family

A godly, light-hearted, positive woman who likes to be more or less physically fit is attractive.

As for me...

I'm goofy, but serious. Or should I say serious, but goofy. - It depends on the day and situation. =)

I can be really funny sometimes. In general I like to make people laugh. Doing so makes me laugh too, and brings out the humor in other people.

The simple things in life bring me great joy, so some may say I'm boring!? :p

Also... I'm easy going, not an extrovert - though I wish I were, love church, love my family, and um, that's all that's coming to mind right now. =)

I run a CAD Consultancy business. My projects come from connecting with different AEC industry companies around NYC. I definitely have an entrepreneurial spirit. I have a BS in Civil Engineering, and that's how I got into my line of work.

I've also recently contacted my state's board of professions, to find out my eligibility to sit for my professional engineer's license exam. For one to practice engineering under his own company, he could only do so with a license. I would like to start doing this as well, hence why I contacted my state board. I’m kind of excited about starting this second business, if things go as planned.

I enjoy both my work, and the situation of working for myself. It is basically my dream job, because I believe I'm where the Lord wants me to be.

Goals are important to me, otherwise I feel that I’m left just reacting to life as it happens.

Glorifying God in all I do is my chief end, so my specific goals revolve around this. “Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” – 1 Cor 10:31.

Some of those specifics would be; I aim to model Christian character, run a successful business, get married, be a faithful member of my church, etc. etc.

I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. I moved to NYC for work about eleven years ago.

I've traveled, mainly through short-term missions, and that would be to Haiti, Paraguay, and the Dominican Republic. Outside of this I've just done some normal type of traveling within the US. ...That's about it. I'm not into travel.

My family, I adore them. -Unfortunately they aren't Christians.

My immediate family is my father + step-mother, mother, older sister and younger brother. My brother and sister are both married with kids, and I LOVE my nieces and nephews, who I also consider my immediate family.

I'd relocate if I could, but at the moment doing so is not an option. Not because of family ties, but because my clientele are all here in NYC. Therefore, I'm grounded here, happily so, for at least the time being.

I'm 38 y.o. and a bit taller than 5'8" - barefoot. :-)

I think the "brother you're like a six" article that is published on the boundless website does a good job of briefly explaining how to seek a spouse. I'm not a fan of using websites as sources for doctrine, but this article is noteworthy.
