A Proper Introduction

Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Nina Andres.  I am a writer, a salesperson, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a loved one, a friend, and a child of God.  I tend to be passionate about my views, which include: God, marriage, relationships, love, children, and injustice…just to name a few. 

I’ve been a Christian for about 22 years now. My walk with the Lord hasn’t always been easy or victorious. In fact, I will be the first to admit that I am imperfect and have made many mistakes in my life. I have also endured many hardships as well. Over the years I have overcome anger, food addiction, child abuse, depression, infertility, divorce, sexual sin, and even adultery. But one thing I know for certain. I was never unloved. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ picked me up, cleaned me off, and loved me unconditionally; even after I faithlessly turned my back on Him. I am a walking testament of His Love and Faithfulness.

For many years, family and friends have come to me for advice and counsel. I think it’s because of my hardships, compassion, and God-given wisdom. Although I am not a theologian, pastor, or licensed counselor, I would be honored to share God’s Word with you through my lenses. My hope and prayer would be that through my life experiences, views, and convictions your life will be touched and encouraged to live a fuller, richer, and joyous life with Christ Jesus. 

This site houses my blogs, articles, thoughts, life, struggles, and anything God wants me to share. I hope you will find some nuggets you can meditate on or just find yourself drawing closer to God as a result of meeting me here. I am happy you have found me and hope you will stick around and see what transpires as we walk through this tumultuous and unpredictable road until Jesus comes back for us.

Please feel free to write me, share your stories, and/or ask for prayer, encouragement, and/or advice in any area. I would love to walk alongside you and share in your struggles. I have a prayer team who prays with me weekly and monthly, doing cyclical fasts to fight the dark forces that hinder us from the truth and victory allotted for us.

Please visit my other site geared towards single women looking for love called, Virtuous for Love.

I’d like to share the lyrics to one of my favorite Christian songs written and performed by Michael W. Smith, Never Been Unloved.  It sums up my imperfections and The Lord’s unfailing Love. I hope these words resonate in your heart.

Much Love and Blessings,

Never Been Unloved

I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy
I have been unrighteous
And I have been unmerciful

I have been unreachable
I have been unteachable
I have been unwilling
And I've been undesirable

And sometimes I have been unwise
I've been undone by what I'm unsure of
But because of You
And all that You went through
I know that I have never been unloved

I have been unbroken
I have been unmended
I have been uneasy
And I've been unapproachable

I've been unemotional
I've been unexceptional
I've been undecided
And I have been unqualified

Unaware, I have been unfair
I've been unfit for blessings from above
But even I can see
The sacrifice You made for me
To show that I have never been unloved

It's because of You
And all that You went through
I know that I have never been unloved
