A Little Introduction to Me

   Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am a nerdy and loud, Hispanic and European, Jesus-lovin', Bible-believin', 23 year old living in New Jersey, currently attending Thomas Edison State University online working on my degree in English!

   The big dream is to be a writer, but it is wherever Jesus wants me. When I find some time, I work on several different genres of writing including: historical fiction, real-life contemporary fiction, poetry, etc. I love this, but my passion is sharing Jesus. I'm working on keeping this updated as much as possible as well as a few other writing projects that have been on my heart. 

   I am a sinner saved by grace -  I love Jesus with all of my heart and I will not change my beliefs. He has given me a deep desire to show people Christ! Although my attempts may be small, I try to show God's love in my life and I hope that people see that. I currently run an after-school program on Tuesdays for the kids of our church and the neighborhood. There are a few adults who help with teaching and driving the children, and they have been nothing but supportive. I also run a high school girls' Bible study which is a highlight of my week!

   I'm just going to list things as them come to mind and hopefully they make some sense...
  • I will sacrifice just about anything for my family and friends. There is no one more important on this earth than them and their love and support is what pushes me through (aside from Jesus of course!).
  • Music... I love music! Genres include: Christian (contemporary, classic hymns, praise and worship, gospel, etc.) classical & opera, oldies (especially from the 20's-50's) and I'm sure there are a bunch more. Plus I love to play the piano and I like to sing, although I'm not terribly good at it. 
  • Books... I love, love, love books. My Bible - hands-down, first on this list. Favorite authors: C. S. Lewis, Edgar Allan Poe, William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, J. R. R. Tolkein, John Keats, Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens, Henry James, Leo Tolstoy, the Bronte sisters, etc. I also love many Christian authors including C. S. Lewis again, Oswald Chambers, Ravi Zacharaias, G. K. Chesterton, Jefferson Bethke, Charles Stanley, as well as ministers within our fellowship of churches.
  • Cooking, entertaining, party planning... I love cooking the same recipes over and over, and trying new ones to expand my horizons. I love opening the house for random BBQ's, dinner parties, and our annual Christmas extravaganza!
  • I'm an introvert. But I'm kind of like an extroverted introvert.
  • I am a nerd. On top of all the reading I love to do, I enjoy learning about new things (especially when it comes to history, art, literature, writing, interior design, travel, how things work, etc.) and watching documentaries.  
  • I love to celebrate and laugh. Lots of laughter. Exhibit A of me being a bit silly.
   There's a ton more to me, but that's the basics. Leave a comment and introduce yourself!
