Nadia J. Arensdorf: Student & Teacher of the Word
Jeremiah 15:16 says everything that I feel:
Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
Daily I take in God’s Word. I read it, linger over it, meditate over it, pray over it–and I ask God to change me from it. In my Bible Journal I write what I’m learning. If something intrigues me, I write it. If I’m confused about something, I write it. I stay with a passage until I’m satisfied I have studied all I want to. This may take many days or weeks. Each morning I take as much time as I want–or as little time as I have. Some days I am rushed, so I write and pray less than other days. Daily is necessary, just as we need food daily to live and flourish, as Jeremiah indicates. What is important is spending time in God’s presence, enjoying Him, His Word, and His love for me. This is my life as a Student of God’s Word.
I am also a Teacher of God’s Word. I share what God says in His Word, what He has communicated to us, and, above all, His love for us. I teach at my church and other locations. I also write-to-teach. My genre is biblical nonfiction. The foundation of my writing is the Bible. To me, there is nothing more satisfying than digging deep and having the privilege of imparting that knowledge to others–whether face to face or from afar with the written word. I love teaching and writing!
Paul writes to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:14-15, “I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.”
This is my call ✝️📖🙏
Hi! I’m Nadia Arensdorf. I’m a proud Californian happily living in Texas–and I arrived here via Green Bay, Wisconsin! 💚🏈💛
I love writing ✍️ and teaching 👩🏫. I want my website home to offer hope and encouragement, especially from the great Source of Truth, God’s Word. My desire is to build up the body of Christ.
