About Me

I love my life! I love today! I love you!

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Hearts and black

I am a hobbit-sized girl who was miraculously noticed by the creator of the universe. He claimed her as his very own, giving her his name and an essential role in his kingdom. Why was she chosen to be lavished with the love of a king? She asks herself each and every day and simply can say: "Because he said so."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mr. Knightly! For those of you non-Jane Austen reading boys (ie: ADAM), he's basically the ideal man!

A man with the balls to tell me the truth, even when the truth is that I am wrong. (Most of you won't believe me when I say this, but I have been wrong before... and I will be wrong again.) I would love to meet a man who is a warrior for the cause of the Kingdom... a man who isn't afraid of awkward situations... a man who fears the Lord and his wrath in such a way as to weap in His presence. My heart longs for a man of godly character and strength. I am not looking for the perfect man, far from it. DO NOT HEAR ME INCORRECTLY. I am not expecting a man who never fails. I AM certainly not looking for the modern emasculated American version of a Christian man. I want a dangerous follower of Jesus Christ who looks to His example as an ass-kicking, table-turning, wine-drinking, adulterous-loving, foot-washing, sarcastically-speaking, friend of sinners. Should you find one of these men... shake his hand, thank Him for protecting us, buy him a beer, and give him my number. :)
