My name is Carmen, and I love Jesus. He is the Lord of my life, and I am passionate about growing in my relationship with Him and looking more like Him each day.
Being a young woman in today’s world is challenging, especially one who wants to pursue holiness and serve Christ. I hope to offer practical advice that may bless you as I learn. I pray we all feel encouraged, equipped, empowered, and connected as we navigate the joys and challenges of following Jesus.
I didn’t grow up in a Christian household. A slew of failed relationships in college led me to accept my friend’s invitation to church and bible study. I continued attending for a few years, but I was not ready to completely surrender to Jesus’ lordship. This led to me not going to church altogether and returning to my old ways and habits.
Fast forward several years later, I found myself in yet another broken relationship. This time I came to the end of myself. I returned to church and I heard and understood the gospel. I was broken over my sin and recognized my need for a savior, so I submitted to Jesus as the ultimate authority in my life. When I did that, I was born-again and am being regenerated by the Holy Spirit daily 🙂 I’m so thankful for the grace of God which brought redemption to my story.
