About Me

About the Author

My name is Abrena (pronounced uh-bree-nuh) and I am the writer and the face behind the blogs. I was born and raised in California. I have worked with children for the past five years, but am now working hard to be a full time Blogger/Stay at home homeschool mom (God bless all of it!)

If you catch me anywhere but a wedding I’ll likely be in ripped jeans and a hoodie with no makeup and a messy bun. Cuss words are a habitual part of my vocabulary, I love junk food of every kind, and I have a mild addiction to tattoos. Not proud, just honest.

I am a wife to the smartest and most supportive husband, a mom to four super cool kids that are a little bit of chill and a whole lot of loud and crazy. We fight with each other and our house is often (when I say often I really mean ALWAYS) messy.

I am a daughter who grew up in a blended family but I am lucky to say that I thee greatest and most supportive parents ever. I’m a sister; the youngest of six siblings. My circle of friends is very small but I do have a huge, loving family.

Most importantly, I am an heir to the throne of the Most High King. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, more precious than rubies, and all that good stuff that God says I am. BUT, I often look at myself through my own eyes instead of his and with that, I forget how loved and highly favored I am.

I guess what I’m saying is, I’m human. I tend to forget my worth and the fact that I have a purpose in life. I struggle to find peace in the midst of my hardships. I lack patience and have trouble understanding why sometimes God's plan means I have to go through a season of pain and longsuffering.

While on the other hand, I believe with my whole heart that Jesus died for my salvation and his spirit lives within me. Because he lives within me I have the power of HIS strength, HIS peace, HIS guidance, and basically every good thing that I naturally lack.

So you see, My life is far from perfect but HIS love for me is not. It’s perfect in every way, even and especially when I forget it.

I have HIM.

Because I have HIM I am unhindered and free!

I am HIS.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. (Acts 20:24 NIV)

Thank you for your interest in my story and for taking the time to read it! I hope you will stay awhile and enjoy some helpful blogs about ways to get unhindered and live with the freedom that is promised to you!
