Being a professional woman who is passionate about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness is difficult when trying to balance societal pressures and ward off the tick of the biological clock. Pursuing what God has called you to so in your “season of singleness” while attending weddings and baby showers of friends is a conundrum. I know. I’ve been there before.

You’re happy. You’re sad. You’re loved, yet alone all at the same time. A conundrum indeed.

I’m a woman who is traditional in ideals, but biblical in practicality. So if match-making is a spiritual gift, call me Yenta and hand me a resume! Lindsey Nobles has become a friend of mine through a series of colliding incidents and now, a sovereignly assembled mentoring group through 3DM.

Mentoring and doing life together requires a level of depth not many can weather. To have people pry into your life and ask hard questions causes waves of insecurity to crash on the shores of self doubt and fear. But as the sea faithfully reaches the shore, so are those friends who will crash into your life and daily repeat the process of affirming who you are while challenging the things you do.

So I’m challenging the conventional dating system and playing Yenta for Lindsey. Since it’s Friday, I’ve attached a video blog (vlog). But in light of “hookin’ a sister up,” I’m attaching some things to know about Lindsey, and how YOU can help find her a date.

Lindsey loves meeting people and making connections while living out fully la joie de vivre with friends and family in Nashville, Tennessee. She’s smart, sassy, spicy like the salsa she enjoys eating. Anyone who can hold a child in Guatemala, run a half marathon, travel the nation, annnnnd find time to blog is amazing to me. And let’s not forget the fact that she’s talented and totally available.

Here’s where YOU come in: If you know anyone meets the following criteria, let me know. If you have any words of advice or encouragement, feel free to leave it here. Come what may, pray she know she’s loved by God and in this season for a reason.

1. Man who LOVES Jesus (this was my requirement)
2. Has a job (this was also my requirement)
3. Kind (this is a big one for her)
4. Sense of humor and wit (someone to make her laugh til she cries)
5. Physically active, but not SuperJock (ya know, he’ll run but follow it up with pizza)
6. Strong in character (he can’t be easily pushed over, yet sensitive enough to know when to stop)
7. At least 5’11” (so she didn’t ask for height, but I like the number seven so I added a seventh requirement)
