Profile review for 28f please!

I have been watching, laughing, and crying with the board posts for a while, but never really replied to anything yet. Just stumbled on this section and was hoping to get some help!

Like I'm sure many people, I haven't gotten... well, any communication from people recently. Would love any advice and help you can give! Is it worth continued subscription? *sigh* I guess that's how "the love game" goes sometimes, eh?
As I understand it you have been an eHarmony paying member for awhile and that you have gotten some communication from matches in the past but that recently the communication has been a bit sparse. This could just be because of the time of year, it is the holidays and people have other priorities and are traveling.

Thank you so much to all in advance! I know my profile may be "preachy" to some of you, but I guess if you're the same, it comes across just fine. Anyway, feel free to critique any and everything, anyway!

The one thing I am most passionate about:
I am passionate about a lot of things! My faith is the most important thing to me ever and always will be. My family is also very important to me. I enjoy being an age group triathlete! I am also passionate about helping people and being a part of other people's lives, because that is what God has put us here on earth to do.
Take out the triathlete part and put that in the Additional Information or Leisure sections. Then do some re-writing of the rest of this so that it flows together better. What I mean is that this is supposed to be about your ONE true passion. You start off with God then add a second one of your family and then end with God again. With proper arrangement you can blend all this together so that your family is connected with your passion of God. I will also caution you about mentioning anything more than once in your profile. You have mentioned God twice in just this section. The first time I have already gotten that you are a religious person, you don't have to keep telling me. When you do, you become one dimensional, and GOD did not create you that way.

The most important thing I am looking for in a person is:
People are unique and no one can fit in a box, but these are some good ideas of qualities I prefer: PASSIONATE love of Jesus and desire to obey him-Jesus must ALWAYS be #1! Fondness for being random and goofy-to do the silliest, "craziest" things "whenever you feel like it"; attention to one's body (eating well, exercise/physical activity); musical; sense of humor; desire for intellectual conversation; desire to talk and pray together often.
See my comment in the Passionate section, you have mentioned Jesus twice in this section. Also you are listing a whole bunch of attributes you want your match to have really have little to do with the important things that will build a strong relationship. You have also listed some things that I would not associate with a truly religious person.

In my own words
The most influential person in my life has been:
The most influential person in my life has been the Holy Spirit. He leads me in so many amazing ways. Without him, I'd be a real putz! He tells me what I should and shouldn't do - advice that is ALWAYS the best! He is just a good all-around friend, even being willing to "just chill" with me! Also hugely influential in my life are Christian teachers Joseph Prince and Andrew Wommack. They have helped me to understand true grace (AMAZING, unearned, unmerited favor) in a way that I didn't before. Lastly, youth pastors, workers, and mission friends have helped encourage me and provoke me to all that I can be, especially my YWAM DTS staff.
If I got a profile with this in it I would be quite certain that I was dealing with a space cadet and just hit the close button. Go re-read the last sentence in my comment on your Passionate section.

The three things which I am most thankful for:
God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit - they're my posse that keep me out of trouble and loving people and life
My family - we are amazingly close and love each other dearly. We spend lots of free time together
Food. I love food!
Again with the religion.

Three of my best life-skills are:
Sharing my beliefs through teaching, participation, and example
Helping those who are less fortunate or in need
Entertaining in my home

The one thing I wish MORE people would notice about me:
Erm... I pretty much wear myself on my sleeve it's not easy, I tell ya! I don't know exactly how I fit myself on my sleeve, but somehow I do! . I try to be open with people! Most of my friends know me to be fun-loving, talkative, intellectual, and indecisive when it comes to too many good food selections at a restaurant. My parents know me as loving, stubborn, giving, and resourceful.
Yea, a section that does not have any mention of religion in it.

The things I can't live without are:
God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit
My books. I would cry if I lost them.
I like my Android phone and all things technology
I LOVE my family and friends
It would be hard to get places without my car.


The first thing people notice about me:
My passion, in particular for God. Love of people and life. Genuineness. That I'm outgoing. I'm a total bookworm! I've been told I give really good hugs. I'm kind of random and goofy at times (ok, most of the time!), but can be extremely serious, too! I usually surprise people - in what I can do, the things I love. Let's just say that I'm eclectic!
This is not supposed to be a laundry list of things. It needs a re-write.

Some additional information I want you to know:
There is nothing here. There are things that you have in other sections that could be put here.

My interests
I typically spend my leisure time:
Right now, I spend my leisure time training (I am a triathlete), reading, or spending time with my family. My hobbies kind of go through phases, I guess. I love doing different things, so I can see throughout my life a lot of different loves and ways I've spent my time. Most do involve my family and reading, though!
So as your match I am going to read this and wonder what it is that we may do together unless I am also a triathlete Reading is a solitary activity and actually should be covered in the Last Book section.

The last book I read and enjoyed:
I am reading "Hidden in Plain Sight" right now. It's a book about the virtues that Peter talks about in 2 Peter. It is really good because it 1. is so true and well written; 2. really challenges me to "step it up" in the areas of virtue that I still lack! I read a ton, so I could go on and on about other books I've read and loved recently! One of my favorite books that I've read is called "Make Me Like Jesus" by Michael Phillips. You should go read it right now! *nods and smiles* I love anything by Erwin McManus, Ted Dekker, or Karen Hancock; How to Win Friends and Influence People; probably more "favorites," too! I love to read!
This is OK.

According to my friends:
