NB: This profile is no longer actively maintained. It is now a memorial. 3/25/2016. ~~~~~~~ I'd like to recommend a message on Youtube that I believe can be massively profitable to any single woman. Look for "Things That Stop You from Being Found". ~~~~~~~ My Father in heaven comes first in my life, then all comes in its place. To love Him is to obey Him, so that is what I strive to do everyday. I love the truth, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who set me free 3 years ago to serve Him. Since then my focus in life is more than this passing world. Jesus is the light who guides me and the priceless treasure I found! If you're still with me here, blessed are you. :-) // Genuine is a word that I like a lot. I am dependable, courteous, merciful and affectionate. I seek a wife to serve God together with, not to make me happy. But surely, she can add to my joy, and I to hers as we choose to give ourselves to one another. Humbly I must say, I cannot make a woman happy if she has not found her joy in God first. I will first and foremost point her that way so she is rich in treasures that rust doesn't corrupt and that thieves cannot break in and steal. With her, I will be grateful to have a family that I lead and I will call it a blessing from God. I would not call myself anyone's "ideal man" as I don't even know what that is. :-) But "Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her..." / "Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord...", these words are essential for me, nothing to play down or get offended over. That is wisdom from above and a foundation for marriage that cannot be shaken. Marriage is too important for trial and error through following man's wisdom of this world. I envision my marriage as a man and a woman who complement each other, support each other through all times, sowing love and reaping joy while overcoming all things. Dating isn't quite the word for me. I prefer "getting to know" (you), which doesn't exclude going on "dates". :-) I value a woman who pays attention to detail and who is direct and sincere yet communicates with delicacy. I also appreciate a woman who loves peace, simplicity, who is mindful of dressing modestly, yet is confident in her femininity. Natural is another word I like. I will be blessed to have a wife who will teach our children to say 'Thank you' and 'please', and to show respect and to know the value of selflessness. Independence gets no high ratings with me as a quality to the extent that it goes against thinking and acting as a well-ordered team. But I will appreciate a woman who is responsible and who knows and embraces her strengths and embodies them gracefully. That includes, well... motherhood. No experience necessary. (I hope you caught the humor here! I do think humor helps live long.) // My status now is "Waiting". If I have reached out to you, I am looking forward to hear from you. I'm only afraid this text will get bigger while I am "waiting". lol Well, thanks for reading and all the best in your search for a man to be joined in marriage with. I will check out the forums some time. And if you'd like to send me a message for any inquiry concerning what you read here, feel free. While I'm here (did I say "waiting"?) I might as well be about what I am about everyday, which is seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And I trust my wife also will come along at the right time to take her place and fulfill her role in my life. And that woman, I am praying for her even now. ~ Now playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z3yFUhasqs __________________ And now our feature presentation --> Find the playlist "By the word of their testimony...
