About Me
I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I have made many mistakes and been through a lot in life. All of which I count as blessings, because they have guided me to deeper understandings in him. All of which has always been my hearts desire. Truth is I just didn’t have understanding what it meant to be equally yoked as I do now, or grow in him together as one.
1 Corinthians 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Job 12:22 He reveals the deep things of darkness: and brings deep shadows into the light.
Phil 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
I have now been single almost 8 years and have learned a lot of truth that I would love to share with you all. I know we are all here because we desire to be yoked with that special one the Lord desires us to be yoked with, if it is his will we be yoked. This leads me to share this truth with you. That this all takes time for the Lord to prove and make clear what is his and what is not of his will. To have any expectations except desiring his perfect will for our lives is in vain and worthless. Therefor I am here to be friends only, until he proves in time I am equally yoked with someone and it is his will. Any other expectations of anything except his will proven in time, is only worldly and will bring disappointing results in the end. I have written a lot here about where I am in life, my past, my heart, etc...All parts of being equally yoked. Which I pray that you just reading this, that it will bless you with his truth as it now has me. I pray it helps open your eyes to the truth of being equally yoked and the depths of it also. I share this with you all because until my last divorce about 8 years ago, I did not understand as I know so many of you do not either. We seek our own will with worldly thinking in hopes he will bless our choice. Instead of realizing who we are in him, our gifts, understanding, direction, etc...Then allow him to live through us guiding us with a Spirit lead heart and mind.
My Characteristics: Spirit lead, truth seeker, very passionate, desire a very intimate relationship, yes the two together become one in him. very affectionate, very romantic, believe in humility as being strength, will add to this and put in a better format later.
I want to be totally up front with you and add this now. I waited till now to add it, so you might at least be blessed with the truth of being equally yoked, before you left. I won’t waste anymore of your time in letting you know I am absolutely not a worldly person. I truly desire to grow in him and seek his truths daily. Also, I know many women are just looking for security in what a man can offer in money and things. The Lord blessed me with much long ago, which was all taken away in my last divorce. I do not share this in vain, but in joy. I was also blessed with an awesome Mgr./Sales Rep. position. My heart was never worldly and just always desired to grow in him, but losing it all made me realize that the Lord allowed it, so I would come follow him as has been my heart’s desire since first coming to him. So I have nothing material to give, just my heart and soul, were the only true value lies.
I consider myself different from most men. I believe that humility is strength not weakness. Today, most women are looking for a macho man, that's not me. You might say I’m the kind of guy a lot of women want. Truth is, once you have me, you disrespect me, because you don’t understand my humble heart and true desire to grow in Christ and allow him lead all things. Most see me as weak and someone they can use, run over, and control, to just get the desires of their own heart. I have learned from my mistakes and am still learning. I now seek the heart of a woman, just as Christ said it was the heart desired. It is the heart I also desire. I am the type of man, who cherishes that special someone. I’m one who desires to be understanding and compassionate just as the Lord has shown us through Christ. I have learned that to be equally yoked in him, that both people must have the same heart, mind, and direction in him. If not, then you have two people pulling against one another and going in opposite directions. I write this because the Lord has shown me truth here after three failed marriages which I was looking for the love I never had as child.
I have also been through a lot more in my life. All of which I now realize the Lord allowed as his will and blessings to be able to draw me to himself and use me for his will and purpose for my life. Not all people have a good life growing up so to speak. Most looking at my family would think mine was great, but in truth many horrible things went on behind the scene. I know now it was all part of his will to be able to use each experience to grow in and also relate to other in and encourage them in his truth. As the word says, he uses all things for the good. I know it to be truth totally. Your bad is not bad, but blessings to draw you to himself.
I believe if it is his will for me to ever be married again it will be with someone who has this same understanding and compassion for others who have been through difficult times and failures in their life. For me, I know to those who have not experienced tough times or heartaches, it is hard for them to relate to those who have. I believe that the past too is all part of being equally yoked, and a understanding and compassionate heart for those who have.
A little more about me. I’m a romantic, sensitive, compassionate, affectionate, open person, who desires to give my whole heart, and all I can of myself. I do not play games with another’s heart. I believe totally in showing and expressing my love in every way possible, and even then some. I have old fashion values, but also I can be all things to all people. I love to share my whole heart and soul, and am a very deep person. I desire a close intimate relation with sharing our hearts deepest things. I am very passionate person, about God and growing in him in that special relationship together.
I love to cook and ain’t too bad at it either. Mostly Mexican food, but many other things too. You can say I am man of many things who can do about anything. I was a Mgr. / Sales Rep. for 18 years in the oil field. I have fixed up old houses and rented them out, then sold them. I grew up in the country and love most animals. I showed animals growing up, broke horses, worked cattle, calf roped, hunted, fished, etc... I love to write and blog and encourage others who are down or going through hard times. The Lords seems to just lead me to them. I have many aspirations and talents which the Lord has blessed me with. All of which I use as he guides me to.
I started driving a truck about 7 years ago. I had went through a lot with my family over the years, abuse, etc…plus I have always felt called to serve the Lord. The truth is, I had allowed myself to be controlled by my materialistic spouses, and also I kept trying to be a part of my family who had abused me, and rejected me all my life. It’s a long story, which I am more then happy to share my entire life story, just ask me. As I said, I had always felt called to serve him, but had the other obstacles in the way, plus to be honest, I had little faith, knowledge, or understanding of so many things. So he called me to quit my job, and take my first real step of faith and leave. That’s when I left and after a year of other small things he called me to do, and close the books on so to speak. I started driving a truck. It gives me the freedom to go wherever he desires to plant me in time. In the meantime over the past 7-8 years, he has been heeling me, growing me, guiding me to write all he teaches and shows me with others, and also encourage others through talking to them and sharing all the truth he has blessed me with, with them. My heart is to serve him. I have also been blessed with seeing the country while I wait upon him to plant me in time. Currently I work out of Alabama, on a dedicated account. I cover the whole eastern half of the country from Texas straight up to the east coast, except for NY and up. I grew up in Texas and lived there most of my life. So yes, lol I’m a Texas country boy, with the ascent to go with it.
I like dancing, cooking, writing, going shopping, traveling, working with kids, and others who don't understand the truth of who they are in Christ. I believe that is my calling. To show others who are in hard times and don't understand the truth of who they are, and what they have through Christ Jesus our Lord. I use to be a RA leader at church, 4-h Leader with kids, coach football, soccer, baseball etc. I love to go out to eating, go shopping with who I am with, decorate the home. I love antiques, watching romantic, family, and western movies.
I believe the Lord is calling me to ministry, but am still waiting on the clarity of just what. I feel compelled to write books, post on blogs, and many aspects of encouragement.
- Looking for:
-
My Ideal Person:
My ideal mate will be soft hearted, compassionate, and loving. Someone who is an encourager also. The word tells us to be equally yoked. This means understanding, beliefs, and nature of the heart. On the other hand, the differences complement one another. As the word says, the two become one.
P.S. Excuse my writing, lol I always have to edit what I write. Because I have so much in my heart which just overflows when I start writing. I guess that wasn't a little, lol I ramble some, lol Gods Continued Blessings And Love To All, David
The word says, " A man who finds a godly woman is truly blessed" I am looking for a humble modest woman who understands the word and desires to grow in Christ together as one. Independence is of the weak, to be dependent on him and each other in a relationship, is the true way of the Lord. Independence is separation, not togetherness, as is his will when he joins two people together. They become one together, not independent of one another or him. Dependent in selfless humility, is true strength. Dependent in selfless humility, is true strength. Someone who understands total humility and can give her whole heart and soul, the way God intends it to be. Someone who can let go and trust God and me, and know that we will catch her always. Someone who who can see my humility for what it is, and think it is something to cherish and also live together in. Someone who has a common goals and a heart of togetherness to fulfill the callings the lord has putt on my heart and theirs too. I'm a giver and we all must be humble ourselves to each other for his purpose. Someone who is fun loving flirty, and loves to smile and have fun. Then on the other hand, someone who's heart is to grow in him and learn together. Someone who desires to be in ministry someday and we can complement each other in his work. I love to study the word and learn and talk together about what the Lord puts upon our hearts. So we can share in growth in who we are in him, always growing as one together. We all can learn from each other. The lord uses all things for his good if we humble ourselves. This allows him to be in control, so he can guide us to his perfect will for our life. Someone who is encouraging, as well as intelligent, an desires to contribute in the relationship. Most of all though, someone that I am equally yoked with. Who has the same understanding and direction in him and for him. I am not perfect by any means, I have my faults which I am growing through, and I know we all have faults. So, understanding, forgiveness, compassion, and unconditional love, along with a desiring heart. I love country girls, and those who are not into the worldly things.
I also, like a lady who can be classy and act like a lady, but also humble and down to earth. Most of all someone who is not materialistic, and knows that real value is in the heart, not wallet.
First Date
With me, I would know her very well before our first date. Therefore, the first date would be something that we both enjoyed doing together. To me dating is something you do once the Lord shows you both, that you are possibly on the same path in him together. So, it would be more of a proving more ground and developing more trust, growing more in him together, etc...
