I believe it was steelsheen who pointed me to this site...Many thanks to her, and to the creators of this site. I'm sure I'll enjoy figuring out how to navigate it in the next few days.
Vinca is a nickname I've had for a ... long time. I believe it sprang from "Pervinca Took," one of Peregrin Took's sisters (anyone read "Lord of the Rings"?). But there has in the past been some slight confusion as to my real name, so just so everyone knows: Vinca is not my real name. My real name is much more boring, and aside from that knowledge, probably not your business. At least not here. =P
I'm a 15-year-old Reformed Presbyterian who has been saved by God's grace and God's grace alone. (And if anyone has told you that we Reformed-P's are cold, stiff, and unemotional robots who never have any fun...allow me to disillusion you!) Christian Ministry is my passion; studying Christian theology is something of a hobby. If I were not born female, I might have gone to seminary. That or the military. Who knows.
I tend to ramble a lot when I'm not trying to think in a straight line - for instance, right now - but I can hold my own fairly well in a debate (thanks to two years of training under the world's best Rhetoric teacher). =D I have been homeschooled all my life up until now; this fall I'll be attending a tech-school for some basic nurse's training. I play classical viola, and dream of one day being able to fiddle like Alison Krauss and Natalie MacMaster.
Ephesians 2, Romans 6 & 9, and Psalm 119 are my current favorite passages...but the deeper I go into God's Word, the harder it is to find anything that isn't a favorite.
My life's goals are:
a.) become a nurse.
b.) serve God with my whole heart.
c.) memorize Ephesians.
d.) read every single work by John Calvin.
e.) memorize Jonathan Edwards' "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
f.) learn to play the mandolin.
g.) pray without ceasing.
If I could go back in time, I would either be sitting in with the Westminster Assembly, or studying under John Calvin.
Some might consider me a tomboy. However, my bookish nature tends to ruin all my chances for truly qualifying as a member of that realm.
Now that this has sufficiently run its course, I shall leave you to ponder the sadly self-interested nature of these "introduction" threads: one of few places where 9/10 sentences begin with the word "I".
