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 the One - Part 4

Does anybody else feel like time is flying? I realized that it has already been a week since I did my last post in the series. When I was younger, I thought it was crazy when I heard an adult say, "Time goes by faster as you grow older." Now...I realize how true that is! When I started this series, I wasn't sure how long it would go on for or how many posts it would include. I wasn't even sure if anybody would be interested in reading it. But I know that God has put this blog topic on my heart for a reason, and that He will guide the right people to read it. I am definitely not writing this to boost my pride or followers, but I am doing it because God wants me to be a help and an encouragement to other young ladies like myself. Do I know everything about relationships? Definitely not ;) But I have learned some things through experiences that I have had, and I want to do whatever I can to learn from those experiences and grow closer to the Lord through it. Anyway! ...

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               Th...
