Date women from United States / Arkansas / Paris, 59 year old

Date a soulmate from Arkansas, United States. I am a spiri-filled Christian that puts God first, then my family, next my job, and next other outside activities. I live to help people and feel like I make a difference in their lives. I love to sing on our worship team at church. Praising God and trying to draw other people into worship is very important to me. I would like a partner that is seeking God's will in his life and likes to serve also. It would be an added plus if that person could sing or play a musical instrument. I play the piano but would like to become a better musician. I like to oil paint portraits and animals as a stress reliever. I also do other artistic crafts. It would be nice if I had a partner that could join in or at least support my efforts. The last few years I have taken a vacation with my son and his family. We have gone to Heber Springs, AR to camp and trout fish. We love this activity. His youngest son (9 years old) has Downs Syndrome, so I not only go to enjoy being with them, but I go to assist my daughter-in-law with him so that she can enjoy fishing and other activites with my son and their other son. I would like someone that could enjoy this type activity with us also and would have an understanding about handicapped people. I love to cook and bake. It would be nice if that person enjoyed these things also or at lead enjoy eating what I cook. 10 years ago in July I underwent surgery and had a gastric by-pass done. I lost well over 100 lbs at that time. I have since gained a little of it back, but not near all of it. I have to constantly fight to keep from gaining weight back. I would like a partner that is understanding of this situation and is not looking for a "fashion model" partner. I have thinning hair which is hereditary from my mother and am very selfconscious about this also. I try to keep fairly trendy with my clothing and my hair inspite of my weight and thin hair
