About Me
I love reading. I'm interested in learning about the history and the geography of other countries, especially. I also pick up books on nature and on people. I love to travel, so I'm always interested in reading about other places. Basically, I stick to nonfiction books. Romance novels, for example, are not my thing--I may be interested in having a serious relationship with a man, but not in reading about it.
"I go through one book, and then I pick up another one. I'm always on to the next one. If I had to name the one book I've read most recently, though, it's the one I read every morning and every evening--the Bible
What I'm Looking For
a man “after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22). The most important relationship that any of us have is our personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. That relationship comes before all others. If our vertical relationship with the Lord is as it should be, then our horizontal relationships will reflect that reality. Therefore, a potential husband should be a man who has his focus upon walking in obedience to God's Word and who seeks to live so that his life brings glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
What are some other qualities to look for? The apostle Paul gives us the qualities we should look for in a husband in 1 Timothy chapter 3. In this passage are the qualifications for a leader in the church body. However, these qualities should grace the lives of any man who walks “after God's heart.” The qualities can be paraphrased as follows: a man should be patient and controlled in his demeanor, not filled with pride but of sober mental attitude, able to master his emotions, given to graciousness to others, able to patiently teach, not given to drunkenness or uncontrolled use of any of God's gifts, not prone to violence, not overly focused upon the details of life but focused upon God, not apt to be a hot-head or be thin-skinned so that he takes offense easily, and grateful for what God has given, rather than envious of what gifts others have received.
