On the subject of children:	I would like to have children one day.
How old were you when you were drawn to Christ and how is your Christian walk these days?:	I was 31 when I received Christ, and I am growing in sanctification by the grace of God. Recently, God has been using trials in my life for growth in him. 2nd Corinthians 1:8-10 has been really hitting home: "We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again."
How have the Doctrines of Grace changed or affected your life?:	God's sovereignty is a rock to cling to, a light in my darkness and a lovely idea to meditate on.
Do you have a "Quiet Time?" What are you studying?:	Being in the Word regularly is a non-negotiable for me. Just like regular eating is a non-negotiable for me ;) "I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than my daily food." - Job 23:12
Who is your favorite Biblical Character and why?:	I admire so many of them but right now it might be Ruth for her trust, obedience and guts! ;)
Are you content being single? Why? If not, why?:	My goal is, like Paul, to be content in all things. God has obviously ordained for me to be single in this season, so I try to maximize the good I do for his Kingdom now, but I do struggle with sexual lust, so I hope He either sanctifies that area or puts the man he has for me in my path soon! :)
What are four qualities your friends would attribute to you?:	They'd probably say I am 1.) intense, 2.) deliberate, 3.) funny and 4.) tall ;)
What are you most passionate about?:	Being a warrior for His Kingdom! Becoming a more fit warrior to fight against: 1. my sin 2. others' sin 3. spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12)
What are three things you are most thankful for?:	The ability to worship God, Jesus' work on the cross, (that might be the same thing!) and that God chose to reveal himself in the Bible.
Describe the character and personality traits you enjoy in another person? What are yours?:	I would say I admire men who are purposeful, honest, respectful, capable, have a passion for Jesus, work hard, pray a lot, and keep their word. I enjoy the fact that I am saved by grace alone! I am a rotten sinner and I don't really know why anyone would want to court me ;)
Other than your parents, who has been the most influential person in your life and how?:	Other than Jesus, maybe my pastor. I love the way he constantly brings new things out of a text, even one that I have read over and over. He encourages and explodes my love for my Lord through his insights into the Word.
What contributed most to your previous relationship/marriage not continuing? How long have you been on your own since this relationship and what did you learn from the experience?:	Sin. His and mine. Mostly mine. I've been single since June 2010, and in the subsuquent time the Lord has been teaching me to come to Him first, to look to, trust and cling to him first! Before my man. I put too much of my anxieties/struggles/issues on my ex boyfriend, and God has been gently guiding me into placing those burdens on him instead, who is strong enough for any burden and will never abandon me. (Matthew 28:20)
Do you have any favorite lines from movies, poems, songs, hymns or Scripture you would like to tell us about?:	Oh, the precious blood Of Christ the crucified It speaks for me before Your throne Where I stand justified! Oh, what a beautiful mystery! I will never be able to fully understand it... till I see Him one day... "Faith is not looking at my circumstances, but at who God is." When I am tempted to get angry with/offended by an unbeliever, it is good for me to remember that they are dead, and dead people can't see. Would I get angry with a blind person for stepping on my foot? "To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!” You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!" -- Psalm 30
Do you have any life-long goals? What are they?:	To live by faith; not by sight. Day by day. Hour by hour and minute by minute, some days! ;)
How do you enjoy your leisure time? What do you do for recreation?:	I like to read improving books and the occasional novel, I like to write, I like to sing, I like to train, (in CrossFit and MMA) I like to run.
My ideal place to live is:	In the suburbs, In a small town, A farm/cottage in the county, A cabin in the woods
Where were you born and where have you traveled?:	Born in Dallas, I have traveled all over the US.
Tell us about your family. How do you feel about relocating?:	I would actually prefer to relocate. Even though I've been in California for 10 years, and most of my family is here, I would prefer to live elsewhere, mostly because of the cost of living, the same-ness of the weather, the traffic, and the politics. But above anything, I want to do God's will, and it seems like he wants me to stay in this area for now. I love my family, I come from a big homeschooling family, I am the second oldest of 5. My parents worked hard to raise us in the faith and to understand the doctrines of grace.
Activities/Interests:	Camping, Dancing, Ballroom, Dancing, Swing, Dogs, Fitness, Hiking, Martial Arts, Music, Music/Vocals, Musical Instruments, Philosophy, Reading, Shooting, Rifle, Shooting, Shotgun, Volunteering
