I would like to have children one day.
It is very difficult to say when I came to Christ. I often struggle with assurance of salvation, but I am well versed in the Scriptures and Various hymns and I know that when I avail myself of the means of grace, especially the preaching of the Word, the Sacraments, and corporate worship, my heart is softened and I sense the presence of God in me and in others. My Christian walk has suffered the past couple of years because I have spent way too much time with perverted pagans within the indoor soccer community, which has caused me to stumble in various ways. I don't typically join them in their foolishness, but they are constantly trying to get me to and oftentimes I stumble and sin with them in my heart. If there were any particular prayer requests I would have, it is that God would grant me discipline, self-control, wisdom, and discernment, and that he would enable me to mature and put away childish things so that I would become a suitable marriage candidate for a mature Reformed Christian woman.
The doctrines of grace have brought joy into my life, but more than anything, the scriptures and the hymns we sing in Church, which inform the doctrines of grace have changed my life. I love the hymn, "Glorious Things of These are Spoken," as it is very applicable to the situation in which I find myself. "Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boast, and pomp, and show. Solid joys and lasting treasures, none but Zion's children know."
I don't have a steady quiet time because I am very fickle and lack the discipline to do so. What I want to study changes all the time. I love all of scripture, but especially the New Testament letters. Galatians and Romans remind me of the importance of "Walking in the Spirit, not in the flesh" and that I am justified (declared righteous) by faith, not by "works of the flesh," I Corinthians reminds me that "The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the lord," Titus reminds me that "we were once deceived, hateful and hating one another, but when the grace of God towards man appeared, He washed us, not because of righteous deeds that we have done, but because he loved us." Ephesians reminds my that God chose me before the foundations of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight, and 1 Peter exhorts me to "make my call to election sure" by trusting in the Lord. I love Hebrews and 1 John. I don't like reading the book of James, not because I don't believe it, but because it exposes so much of my sin and I forget that salvation is by grace when I read it, which means that I need to spend a lot more time meditating on and believing 1 John 3 and Hebrews 4, which reveal that Christ is our Prophet, Priest, and King (one of our pastors is leading us through Hebrews in Sunday School and I love to participate in the discussion, but I really need to learn some patience and to allow others to participate as well).
I am not sure that I really have a favorite Biblical Character other than Christ. I love how he challenges the shallowness and arrogance of the religious leaders and how merciful and how compassionate he is to those who clearly don't have and can't get their act together. I have so much to learn from Him, especially in that area, as I tend to be very hard on my self and others.
I really struggle with this. Many sincere and well-meaning Christians think they have the gift of singleness or that if you do, you are somehow more spiritual that those who don't. I view that as arrogance and legalism. The fact that I am attracted to the opposite sex and desire to get married tells me that I have the trial of singleness, not the gift. Anyone who wants to dispute this needs to look past the cheesy title and read Holding Hands, Holding Hearts. That said, I need to learn to be content in my singleness and by God's grace and with the help of the Holy Spirit, I am learning, but I still have a long way to go. I really want the Lord to provide me with a wife, but I need Him to help me to remember that my worth is measured by the person and work of Christ, not by my ability (or really, my inability) to land a stable job and a spouse. As I become more disciplined and learn to be more considerate of others, I believe my circumstances will change for the better, or at least I wishfully think that they will.
I am very analytical and competive, sometimes too much so, but I can also be very kind and fun-loving. I am looking for a mature Christian girl who is willing to share her life with me. The chronic busyness of the Dallas business culture does not sit well with me and I have no problem with moving away if the opportunity arises. Houstin, Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, Chatanooga, and just about any city near the coast would suit me well because I love sports and outdoors.

RUF (Reformed University Fellowship), MTW (Mission to the World), Mercy Ministries, Racial Reconciliation, sports, food, and the outdoors.
The means of grace, Christian friends, the opportunity to work and compete for the glory of God.
I want a woman seeks to live a godly life and encourages me to do the same, but who also respects me commands my respect. I want someone who is fun to be around and is solidly reformed, but not opinionated, who will be kind to me and who will not seek to control me, and someone who is warm and friendly, not aloof and condescending. We must have or be able to build a mutual trust and respect for each other as no relationship can survive without this. Above all, the relationship must be Christ-centered, as idolatrous relationships will ultimately fail.
David Rea, the senior pastor at Providence Presbyterian Church. God really placed him in my life at just the right time. Throughout college, he and his wife Stephanie went out of their way to care for me and keep me involved in RUF and the local church. He got me reading Putting Amazing Back into Grace, which honestly answered and addressed the questions that my Armenian brothers and sisters could not. What keeps me coming back to church is the fact that Christ died to save sinners. If it weren't for that, I would be without hope.
I have never really been in a relationship as for various reasons, mostly slip ups on my part and a fear of intimacy, the relationships have never materialized. I really want that to change. There are a handful of girls whose profiles I have looked at who seem like they would be great matches for me, but I need to talk with them more and establish friendships and Lord willing, one of them will turn into something more.

I love movies and hymns and there more great lines that I could possibly recount as so many different ones come to mind at so many times. I love the Indelible Grace CDs and anyone looking for great music should immediately go to www.igracemusic.com Indelible Grace sets the classic hymns of the Christian faith to contemporary music and those songs really speak to me. "Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken," "In Christ Alone, my Hope is Found," "O love incomprehensible," "Come Ye Sinners, Poor and Wretched," "Love Constraining to Obedience," "O Love that Will not Let me Go," "If Thou Hast Drawn," "A Debtor to Mercy Alone," and so many others have really moved me.

"Now freely chosen in the Son, I freely choose His ways." (Love Constraining to Obedience)

"If Thou hast drawn a thousand times, O draw me Lord again." (If Thou Hast Drawn)

"The terrors of law and of God with my can have nothing to do.

My Savior's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view." (A Debtor to Mercy Alone)

"Come ye weary heavy laden, lost and broken by the Fall. If you tarry till you're better, you will never come at all. Not the righteous, not the righteous. Sinners Jesus came to call." (Come ye sinners, poor and wretched)

Right now I am doing temp work filing and running errands for a deacon at Providence Presbyterian Church. He is a Christian lawyer (yes they do exist) and one of the coolest people you will ever meet. I don't think that it's what I want to do long-term as I would prefer to coach and possibly teach. But it's some extra money in the meantime until I can get established in a career.
Not really, as my desires are always changing, but I would like to go to the World Cup in Brazil, go on missions to Mexico and Africa, and go backpacking through Europe. I also wouldn't mind attending Barcelona soccer match against Real Madrid at Camp Nou.
I love to play and watch soccer and watch football. Hanging out with friends as long as we're doing active things and not just sitting and talking is also fun. An old acquaintance likes to say that doing stuff is overrated, but I would have to disagree. I like to stay active and am generally happier and more entertained when I have something to do.

I was born and raised in Dallas, TX. I have traveled to Jamaica, California, Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, all over Virginia (I went to college at the University of Richmond for 2 years), through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, and I have also been to Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Panama City, Austin, Houston, Galveston, New Braunfels (Schlitterbahn is the bomb!!!), Windy Gap, North Carolina, London, Paris, Munich, other parts of France and Germany, Luxembourg, Engelberg, and Zurich. I would love to go backpacking through Europe on a less-structured trip where I could just wing it or play it by ear and stay in hostels, but with all of the insanity over there, you really have to be careful.
I have no problem with relocating if I can find a job and a place to live. My parents were separated when I was born and divorced when I was 6 months old, so I have had to work through a whole lot. I was always caught in the middle of their fights, so forgiving them has been a challenge. Both of them claim to be Christians, but my mom is Roman Catholic and doesn't seem to see her sin or her need for forgiveness. I really have to set up boundaries with her because if I don't, she will smother me. My Dad makes up his own doctrine, probably because he loves his unbelieving parents and can't accept that they are hell. I enjoy my father's company because despite his apparent lack of faith, there is a lot of wisdom and common grace in what he says and he is lot of fun to be around. My father remarried and my stepmother has a son and two daughters, all of whom are older than me and married. Both of my stepsisters have 3 children and I am looking forward to seeing all of them and the in-laws for Christmas.

I think that covers it. This questionnaire has been very thorough.
Not really. It was a pretty thorough and extensive questionnaire.

Hey Tommy! Thanks for the welcome note to SGS. I would rather not say what I do for the government for personal reasons.
Feedback from tommylebowitz: That's fine. Most people have to keep that a secret for their safety or other reasons.
