Sierra is the author of the “Precious Promises” blog.
Who Sierra is in the natural and who she is in Christ intersect in every area of her life, specifically in applying her gifts. She is supported and in service to glorify God through aiding in making this human experience a bit more love filled and biblically led for marginalized individuals. She loves enjoying life; leaning into joy and laugher even in challenging seasons and encouraging people to see them the way God sees them.
She is an artist and an educator and expresses herself and connects with others through writing, art of varied mediums and open dialogue. She enjoys studying and observing the human experience. A teacher at heart and always seeking ways to create more equity, equality, resources and representation for disenfranchised individuals and communities alike. She believes she is here to love, create and connect.
Sierra is a faithful servant, an eager student and is forever bonding with God as her dear friend and truest love. Her mother has always encouraged a genuine relationship with God, she taught her to converse with our Father with honor, respect, honesty and as a true friend. In her relationship with Jesus, she seeks ways to be a friend to Him and not just a recipient of His glory and grace. In Christ she is peaceful, wise and gentle. She is hungry for more of His word, she is vulnerable, confronted about shortcomings and comforted when she is brokenhearted. The Lord provides ample resources, guidance and overflowing everlasting love, which is necessary for her to experience the natural as His child, and allows her to love deeply. She is very openhearted in the natural; it is God whom aids in guarding her heart as it belongs fully to Him. She is fearless, confident, quiet, perceptive and obedient in Christ. She assent to the word of God that all humans including you are made in the wonderful image of the Almighty and thus, they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Both in the natural and in Christ she is fearfully and wonderfully made. She trusts in His promises that she is at His feet and fervently giving herself over to His will.
She experiences the natural through her roots in Christ. She approaches the natural as an extension of her service to God, which is essential to her salvation and friendship with our Father. She has experienced both, obedience and disobedience in the natural and the latter is never worth it. She is a student applying God’s word and translating His calling over her life into action. She is on fire for our Savior, has a zest for life and big dreams to bring glory to His kingdom.
