My Story

Since you made it to my blog, you are probably wondering a little bit about me. Well...keep reading and you'll find out! :)
As you already know, my name is Brenna Gimenez and I am 19-years-old. I was raised in a Christian home and my parents have been serving in the ministry ever since I was born.
I have quite a big family, with 5 siblings (I am number three!) and three siblings in Heaven. My parents are amazing and I love them so dearly. They have had a huge impact on my life and I have such a good relationship with them.
 I was saved at the age of 5 (see my "How to Get to Heaven" page for more details about salvation). In 2006, the Lord called my family and I to the island of St. Barths as missionaries. We were there for three years and were able to see 5 souls saved! It was then that my Mom got sick and the doctors on the island could not help her, so they sent her back to see American doctors. After many doctor's visits, we knew it wasn't possible for us to go back to the mission field. The Lord didn't want us to return to St. Barths, so we prayed about what the next step would be. That is when God called us into church-planting in the U.S. He led us to High Springs, Fl. where we planted Victory Springs Independent Baptist Church in 2015. If you want a Bible-believing, step-on-toes preaching, hymnbook-singing church...well then you got it! Yes sir, that is my church and I love every bit of it!
 I currently work in several ministries, some including the bus ministry, nursery, music ministry, and Sunday School. I absolutely love working with kids!
I am also currently furthering my education with Veritas Baptist College. It is an online college that is amazing! It allows me to work in my ministries and get my degree at the same time. I love it! I am earning my degree in Christian Elementary Education.
Well, there you go! That's my story "in a nutshell". I hope you enjoy reading!

Praying for the One - Part 3

Between traveling with family, having friends visit, and finishing up some college summer classes, I finally got a chance to sit down and work on this post :) I am going to just skip some of the preliminary stuff and get straight into the next thing that we need to pray for when praying for our future spouse.  We talked about #1 - Salvation, and  #2 - Walk with God. Let's see what #3 is, shall we? ;) #3 - No Hidden Sin Christians have gotten really good at "hiding" sin so that they look good on the outside and in public, but really, they have something in their life that is hindering their fellowship with God. As Christian girls that are waiting for the one that God has for us, we must be praying for our future guy and the things that he may be going through right now. When I pray about this particular point, I pray something like this,  "Lord, if my future guy is in sin right now or has something in his life that is not pleasing to you, I pray that he would g

Praying for Someone You've Never Met

        When I was younger, I had always dreamed of getting married at the same age as my mom. She was 18 and my dad was 19. I had everything planned out; I was going to meet my guy, get married at 18, and have a lot of kids. Sounds great, right? ; )     Well….let’s just say that 18 has come and gone and I am still not married. But don’t worry! I am not sitting in my room crying my eyes out day in and day out because I don’t have a guy (I’m not that dramatic, ok?). Neither am I rushing around frantically searching for any guy that will give me the time of day (I’m not that desperate either ;) )        I am 20 now and I know I am living the exact life that God wants me to live. I am right where He has me, and that is the most important thing! Do I still want to get married? Why yes! Of course. God has given me a desire to be a Godly wife and mother and that is my dream. I realize though, that God has not brought the right one into my life yet. There might have been times that I th

Praying for the One - Part 2

     The first thing I want to do in this post is thank y’all for the feedback and encouragement that I have been receiving. You have no idea how much this means to me! It also makes me a little nervous to know that people are actually reading what I write. :) I am praying for you and I hope that this little series can be a help and encouragement in your life.        So we learned that the first thing we need to pray for is salvation. This is so important, and it should be at the top of our list! When I mention the next thing that we should pray for, you’re probably going to think, “I know this already. Why are you even mentioning it?” I’m adding this to the list, because sometimes, we can so often forget to pray for the simple, practical things that we should be doing every day. But I’m getting ahead of myself here ;) Let’s see what the next point on our list is: #2 – A Daily Walk with God               This is so important in the life of any Christian, including your future spo
