I am a well grounded woman. I am a very intelligent, well-versed, and mature individual. I love to read and write. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and absorb everything I see, hear, and read. I am a very devout Charismatic Christian. My relationship with Jesus Christ is first and of the utmost importance to me. I tend to be a bit shy or timid at first meetings of people. However, I am very quick to get to know people and befriend them and then I can be quite outgoing and chatty. I have a broad range of interests. Intellectual conversation is always welcomed. I am open to finding friends as well as other Christians for fellowship and prayer. Music is a dominant influence in my life. I constantly have something playing and have very eclectic tastes in music. I am VERY honest and open. I love helping others in any way that I am able to. I am a trustworthy and loyal person and one who will stand with my friends to the end. I am very compionate and have been blessed with a great deal of empathy; in so much as I can actually feel what others are feeling at times. And I am a "hopeful" romantic. =) I typically have a very pleasant and easygoing personality and outlook on life. Any trials or suffering in life I believe are tests of faith and I praise God even in the darkest hours for His ability to build my/our strength of character. I come from a big military family and men and women in my family have served our great country for generations. I am very proud of all of our troops in service to us as our guardians of freedom. For any troops who read this, please stay safe and know that you are not unappreciated or forgotten in all that you do! My interests are vast and wide-ranging. I love nature and the outdoors, camping, horseback riding, archery, and anything pertaining to the water: i.e. swimming, scubba, canoeing, sailing--boats of any kind really. As a stargazer I am especially in love with the night. I love live theatre and museums also. On my 'homebody' days indoors, I enjoy reading (Current and on-going obsession is the Twilight Saga!I am also very into the "Clics" and Shakespeare is personal favorite.), writing, computers, gaming, music, and full length movies--I'm not big on regular TV at all, though it's tolerable at times. I can have fun doing a wide range of other things as well, provided the company and conversation are quality also. There is an infinite amount of information that I could write about myself as I am a diverse and complex person (in the best sense of the word!) Though, knowing these facts about my life in no way means that you know who I am. That would require a deeper look. ;) If you would like to know more, I'd be happy to share any details with you about myself that you would like to know. While I appreciate the "nudges" here, sending a message will honestly get you a faster responce since I spend most of my time (on)here in the forums. And please know that though I may never meet you or speak with you, dear reader, that I love you. I can only hope that you understand my meaning when I say this! May you find much peace and joy in the Lord.
