John's Story
Hello Friends I am chocolate 6'1 225 pound Love and fear God I enjoy intelligent and witty conversation. It is important that I communuicate with someone who can make me laugh and have fun, but on the other hand I am a no nonsense person because life is too short and hell is too hot. I want to live every day to the fullest. Giving back is important to me whenever you can. I don't believe we can go through life and be happy if we don't give back, especially if we have been blessed. Someday we may all need that helping hand or just that kind word of concern or encouragement that makes the difference in someone's life. I'm living my life and doing the things I enjoy not to fill a void, but because they make me happy. Sharing it with someone would just be the cherry on top of the ice cream. But I still have the ice cream so I am not suffering. I am a man of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity I also have a quick wit, charm, am adventurous and extroverted, fun and have a kindness of heart. I look forward to what God has for my life. I have three words Love, Wisdom & Prosperity, but the greatest one of all is Love. The eyes are the windows to the soul We all are blessings sent above to enter and exit from each other's live for a reason, a season or for a lifetime to enjoy. In our quest for happiness we must be sure that we don't settle for a playmate when God has a soul mate waiting for us. Sometimes this is a hard distinction to make. Playmates are tricky. They are so much fun to be with that even the smartest of us will be fooled into thinking this has to be our soul mate. Worse yet too many of us attempt to make a soul mate out of a playmate. The danger of this is that later, after years of playmate and created life-l...Expand for more
ong bonds (emotional, children, etc.) or we may have been hurt from playing so hard that we are in no shape ourselves to be anyone's anything. How can we distinguish between the one, and just another one? First, we must be open with ourselves about who we really are and what our soul yearns for. Only you and God know what is truly in your heart and mind. Only you know what will make you truly happy and whole. In order to find your soul mate you have to know you, first. You must be willing to listen to that inner voice. And is that vice telling you that the nerdy person you enjoy talking and sharing your thoughts with, could be him? What about that friend who is always willing to go the extra mile for you when no one else will. Oh no! He's too short or too tall, balding or too hairy, and on and on? Just too ordinary looking for me! Then there's that girl who makes you feel so special when you're around her, but she doesn't match that ideal you have conjured in your head. She's too tall, not slender enough, not light or dark enough, not shapely enough, not attractive enough, and on and on. She is going to treat you like the jewel that you are. Not only that, his or her soul and yours will commune in ways you never imagined possible! In order to heed that voice, we have to put on the back burner our own superficial thinking. Could it be that your inner desire is for a truly genuine person with a good heart? If you enjoy playing, stay on the playground. There are plenty of playmates out there to occupy your time. But don't spend too much time playing or you may play your life away. Eventually the playing loses it appeal and your soul begins to crave a deeper, more meaningful connection. Your soul begins to crave your soul mate.
