Bio
I am first-generation Italian, an only daughter. I was raised Roman Catholic in a very strict Italian home. In going to catechism, I started to ask the nuns, then the priests, questions that either gave me no answer or were not satisfactory to me. I've had life experiences that took me away from the Roman Catholic church and then away from church altogether. But God (my favorite words in the Bible) brought me back to church and drove me to His Word for the ultimate truth. Years ago when I started back to church I ended up in an Assemblies of God church. Again, I began to question what I was hearing/seeing and holding it all up against Scripture. Not being satisfied that I was not yet in the truth, as far as theology goes, I studied the Westminster Confession of Faith and saw how it lined up with Scripture. This put me on a quest to find a church that had the Westminster Confession of Faith as a creed, knowing that if that was declared as a church's creed, I would have less chance of being deceived by false teaching/preaching. As a result, I am now in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). I have taught Adult Sunday School (Sovereignty of God, 1 Timothy) and have lead many women's Bible studies: Chosen by God. Willing To Believe both by R. C. Sproul of Ligonier Ministries, Sovereignty of God, A Workman Approved by God: Bible Hermeneutics by Mark Kielar, etc. I will be taking the Leadership classes at my church so that, God willing, I may lead some more women's Bible studies.
I live alone, have no husband, no children, no family here. All I do is read, study the Word because I am so hungry and thirsty for everything my Lord will reveal to me as I grow in His knowledge and of my precious salvation. Please come and grow with me as we search the scriptures.
