How would you describe yourself?
Update Dec 16: Looks like I'm going to be out in St Louis, MO for work from Jan '17 for 1 year with an option to stay if I like it. Let's see what I think :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People often do a double take when they find out how old I am because they can't believe it. Always nice when it happens. I'm thankful. Bring it on!
You are lovely. I will pursue you. I will delight in you. Yes there is one who will fight for you! I'm excited about finally finding & getting to meet & know you :) I want someone with whom, by virtue of how we are together, we minister to those around us in relation to what a christ centered relationship looks like. But I also want someone I can get goofy with, be playful and laugh a lot with, sing with (even though I can't). We're a team, we're in each others' corners
I'm passionate about my faith and being a relevant witness for the gospel. Dating at this stage of life feels difficult and scary! It's easier to get in than it is to get out if it's not right. Whatever happens I want to honour you. If it doesn't work out I want you to be able to say to your eventual mate should we meet, "here is cyril, he looked after me for you". It's about being honourable! "the greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved" - victor hugo. Things that are particularly important to me are my faith & relationship with the lord and my relationship with my 2 kids. In spite of the challenges of a broken family, I'm thankful for the bond that I've forged with them. Integrity, honesty & the self control to want to keep myself for that right person in an age where casual relationships have become the norm.
I've been celibate since 2008 and I intend to remain so, God willing, until I find the right woman to get married to. This has given me an amazing sense of integrity. I do not boast in myself but in the Lord whose grace gives me the strength. This is part of my testimony - that to who God gives the heart to change, He also gives the power to change! Victorious Christian Living is what I'm passionate about!
I am looking for
There's so much still to be enjoyed and I'd rather enjoy it with someone special:) In our case the sum of the parts will be greater than the whole! I'm very spontaneous, there's something magical in spontaneity & I like being able to create a bit of magic especially with the right person. Life's too short and there are still many special moments to be created & much life to be lived. As iron sharpens iron, so we will sharpen each other as we are nourished, unfold and grow together from the same place.
To be able to worship together, pray together, study the Word of God together, grow together... Wow! Can't wait, but I must wait... Sadly. My heart aches and sometimes I'm so alone that it hurts. But I comfort myself with the knowledge that it will be worth it, keeping myself for that one special person. I'm quite a romantic and some of my fav movies are Pride & Prejudice and Becoming Jane for instance. If you've ever watched becoming Jane don't you think it was so very sad that Lefroy & Jane were never able to make it work? I did. I wonder about love sometimes, I have so much to give and I'm not prepared to settle for anything other than being able to love someone passionately and have that returned to me too in the same way.
If I had one wish, I would wish to have a happy marriage where we work together to create a future that excites us (most of the time), where we work on ourselves to bring our best selves into the relationship, where there is compromise and we work together as a team, where we have wholesome family with us modelling relationship for our kids so they know to want the same thing for themselves as opposed to them simply taking their ideas about relationship from the world at large. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord forever!
I love that God says in Genesis 2:18 that "it is not good for man to be alone..." because that reassures me that God has put that desire to love another in my heart and he knows how I ache for that right person:)
Life's been an adventure thus far and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to do so many things, see quite a few places and meet some really great people along the way. Now I'm upping the ante, but in a totally different way - I'm looking for that frisson that comes with finding that someone who's really special:) I've lived in Holland, enjoyed the sand & surf of the Bahamas, Mexico and sampled some really horrible cheese foundue on the slopes of Davos! I'd really love to get to Brazil, to feel the pulse, the heat and the energy of the place and the people!
We will work together, supporting & loving each other and building something that will be a thing of beauty. Could there be the right chemistry here, could the switch click..?
