I think often times in our search we tend to focus too much on finding someone that we share a lot in common with rather than someone who might bring something to the table that we don't have.
Personally, I'm a deep thinker and tend to have a variety of interests. I can be a bit strong willed & opinionated (I'm working on it ... I promise!) and some may even say that I have my head in the clouds (or worse... be kind Stillwaters! *lol*) Anyways, I tend to relate best to someone who is a little more grounded, who has her own areas of interest (which makes for great conversation) and who is somewhat open minded.
You could say I possess a bit of a "soldier mentality" and tend to face issues head on. I do pray before facing an issue or task and at times will fast depending on the time frame given to prepare. Although often times I rely on heavily on personal faith & discernment "in the heat of battle" - I pray a lot on the move - maybe not a good idea to some - but God has yet to dissapoint.
However, as far as a potential mate is concerned, I can be a little impatient which is why it's probably best that she posseseses a lot of it. Also, I tend to look for someone who is an intecessor at heart, who would much rather have her voice heard before God than man. In other words, someone who raises her voice to God instead of directed at me! *lol*
