mhcannon: Looking for Friend/Love

I was born and raised in Brownwood, then left for a short time, but moved back when my late husband and I got married. Even though I enjoy the small community life that we have here, I am open to changing my location under the right circumstances.

If I were to describe myself with a song, I would say Casting Crowns' song "Nobody" describes me best because it is not about me but God and what he put me here to accomplish. I want to make a difference in other peoples lives while God allows me the time here on earth.

My life has changed drastically with the sudden passing of my late husband in April 2022. But I am finding through God and the great support of my church, family, and friends that I am stronger than I realized I could ever be. I choose to be thankful for what I have been blessed to have rather than pessimistic not because of the "power of positive thinking" but because of Philippians 4:8, which guides me in my life.

I enjoy the great outdoors, watching birds, hiking, attending church, bible studies, etc. because it makes me feel closer to God. I still have many more nature adventures I wish to conquer. It would be great to accomplish them with a special person.

I like being active and spending time at home, cooking, crafting, and sewing. I have so many places left to explore and things to learn to do. I have been to several State Parks in Texas but would like to see/explore some national parks also.

I am learning how to lean into/through the grief to be able to still experience/see my dreams fulfilled. It would definitely be more fun to do this with someone special, but until God sends that special person, I will do the best I can to still dream and pursue those dreams.

To those who say I need to get over my late husband, I want you to know that a part of my heart will always belong to him. This doesn't mean I don't have the potential to befriend/love someone else. It just simply means that I will always remember and cherish the 28 years God allowed me to have with him.

I have embarked on a mission to take better care physically, resulting in me reaching my first and second weight goal and becoming more active. I know I have much improvement that's needed in this area, but I see traction in the right direction. A partner who is striving for the same would be nice.

I have two adult children, a daughter (28) and a son (27). Thanksgiving is and always has been my favorite time of year because of great family gatherings. Many of my family dynamics have changed, but I still have so much to be thankful for and love the family time I am blessed with.

This description has been hard for me to write because I don't like "bragging" on myself. If you have questions, I would be happy to answer them. I will answer openly and honestly just as I would expect as well.

I view myself as an old fashion type girl. I find it refreshing to be treated like a lady while still being seen as an independent thinker and respected regardless of potential differences.

I am looking for a God-fearing Christian man who would show me he treasures me by doing little things to make me feel special (not about monetary amounts). I would appreciate someone who would be open to teaching me to dance (story behind this later) and open to helping me accomplish other dreams. It really doesn't take a lot of "stuff" to make me happy. I love stargazing, watching storms roll in, and in general just being mesmerized by the handiwork of God.

Regular church attendance and volunteer work are part of who I am. I would love someone who feels the same.

I would like to begin as friends and see where we go from there.

Please, if you have more questions, feel free to ask them.

I know texting is not ideal, so I am open to calls until a face to face meeting can happen.

Thanks for reviewing my profile, May God bless you with the perfect match for you.
