Know in your heart
There is no need announcing what you own
For true love will love you for your heart...
Not property

We live in a world of google now
Which is helpful at times

But days are gone when a good hearted....but successfull person
Could pretend they had trailer....to find true love, ...not a gold digger!


But putting ALL in God
All your love
All your hurt


Will lead you to JOY to Heaven's promise is real!
In this sad money grubbin world!

Remember tinkerbell
Your heart...
In Christ....
Is what deserves love. ..

Never feel beautiful Christians
You are all about material things


For love takes patience

But yet
Patience
Leads you to the good ones
In God


Be strong singles
Wait for Love....not for money!

My prayers for ALL you singles!

Be alone
Before being used!

God is with you!
Thanks skylove. I know, I was just seriously joking. A pure heart is the greatest gift that you can offer to a potential partner. A heart like Jesus' and it should be more than enough.

I'm gonna brag a little.. I don't care if I brag because all these 'offerings' still haven't given me any luck in landing a wife...

- free haircuts (I cut my own hair and can cut other's as well, and I'm sure I can do a woman's hair too with the right tools)

- perfectly cooked steaks, burgers, hot dogs, spaghetti, rice

- nutrition/fitness advice (I've been interested in nutrition and fitness since the 80's - if I could just lose weight..)

- free car advice (I know a little more about cars than the average person. I put over 500k miles on one of my cars and went through just about every basic car problem there is, plus I had friends who were die-hard car guys who built up their own cars - this was wayyy before modifying honda civics got popular. I'm talking barracudas, mustangs and camaros here)

- good credit

- I like to keep everything neat AND organized. I'm a bit of a neat freak, and when things are organized it makes me HAPPY.

- I'm pretty good at saving money

- I'm good at finding the best deals/value for my money

- I love detailing (washing) cars, keeping them looking brand spanking new

- I like/love chick flicks - some of my favorites are Sisterhood of the traveling pants (the first one), Serendipity, THE NOTEBOOK :p

- I adore children

- I love giving gifts/flowers/cards

- I would rather spend a cozy evening at home with someone special than go out with friends

- I can fly a plane

- I have awesome car painting skillz....

Qualities? Well, I go to God for every problem and after I argue with him over the solution, I get over my pride take his guidance and put my trust in him. I also value relationships and people with my entire heart. I’m a fighter…….I fight for every relationship I have and ever had because the ones that can withstand a storm are worth keeping. I love and adore children and they love me……..even though they get upset and angry with me because I correct their behavior, at the end of the day they are always in my corner. I am also strange in the fact that I enjoy cooking and cleaning, but I am not OCD about it, so I can leave the clean laundry in the basket for the night and relax or have some good fun.

Alright...here's what I have going on:

I'm a Proverbs 31 woman...well, Prov 31: 6-7 anyway.
I'll consistently leave drawers and cabinet doors open.
I'll set that new roll of toilet paper right on top of the old emptied roll.
I'll leave books everywhere...seriously. (My brother Bob harassed me a week ago about how all the books in my bathroom weren't in Dewey Decimal order)
I'll stay up too late.
I'll question your ideas/opinions/underlying philosophies.
I'll be very slyly sarcastic.
I'll probably drop the f-bomb.
I'll take forever to open mail.
I'll wear a lot of yoga pants.
I'll geek out about literature, literary characters, films made from literature, and various authors.
I'll listen to NPR and watch a bunch of TEDTalks.
I won't eat cheese.
I'll get irritated by my family.
I'll question your authority.
I'll start projects that I'll never finish.
I'll be generally uppity and irritating.
I'll be tempted to buy more dishes that I don't need because they're vintage and someone should appreciate them.
I'll buy an extra copy of a book from a used bookstore because that book shouldn't be just sitting on a shelf.
I'll procrastinate.
I'll be secretive...esp. about negative feelings.
I'll use a lot of pillows when I sleep.
I'll sometimes snore.
I'll let the garbage get really really full before I empty it.
I'll have drink or two occasionally.
I'll say something inappropriate and/or shocking.
I'll need reminding about changing my oil, getting my registration renewed, and getting my car inspected.
I'll stress out about students, lessons, fellow-teachers, and administrators.
I'll seem stupid and naive in some ways (like trusting God to take care of me).
I'll keep stuff in the freezer way too long.
I'll be picky and snobby about making coffee. (Organic, single-farm coffee in a percolator or a french press).
I'll laugh at inappropriate jokes (but not if they're about women...even more irritating, right??)
And last, but not least...

I'll prefer cats to dogs.

What I have to offer isn't money or success nor is it a promise that life and the house hold and even the actual relationship will be smooth sailing what I do have to offer is being their for her in the good and bad to comfort and encourage and help guide her in here time of need to make sure she knows that she is special precious and is dearly loved by both me and God. I offer her my ears and I want her be comfortable to always speak whatever is on her heart to me without any fear or worry even if she is distressed and angry I want to be her personal ear and offer any help encouragement and guidance I can.

I do not offer a grand and easy life I do not offer diamonds and I cannot say we will even not have money issues barely making it through the month but what I have is true love not the kind many would think true love is but the kind that God showed me the kind that he bore when he went to the cross. She will never have to be alone and I will bear any burdens she has she will not have to carry such things because I will put them upon my own shoulders knowing that God will help me be strong.
nicely put!

I have decided that should I ever have a potential spouse in waiting, I'll let him write my response. Until that time I guess what I have to offer is the chance to find out what I have to offer.
