TRINICY: Out of all God’s attributes, which one amazes you most? Why? MONICA: His balance between Mercy and Justice. As humans we cannot comprehend His timing; He is full of mercy; at the same time he is just at the right time and in His time. TRINICY: Who led you to Christ? Who are you leading or hope to lead to Christ? MONICA: The Holy Spirit and the believers that God placed in my journey.

MONICA: I would say that I have the gift of discernment, exhortation, and serving. Currently at home I get to share the gifts God has given me, also in the community in the different roles and opportunities given. TRINICY: Which person from the Bible do you resonate with the most? Why? MONICA: Between Moses and Peter. Moses because I don't think I am equipped. Peter because sometimes I am fast to act or respond. TRINICY: What social issue do you care most about? Why?

MONICA: I feel to be the minority, also it is like swimming against the current. The Biblical stance is not really on fashion and, oftentimes, there is a preconception that, if you are a Christian, and to top it of a Conservative Christian, then you are a bigot, oppressor, etc. TRINICY: What were your first thoughts when you heard about TRINICY? MONICA: What does it means? And I also like the IG posts and some of the "conversations" with people questioning certain stances.

MONICA: Trust in the Lord; the way is narrow; times may become more difficult. Let's remember the Apostles and how the remained strong because Christ conquered death. This life is a glimpse when compared to eternity; let's continue running the good race until we meet our Creator. OTHER QUESTIONS TRINICY: What is an interesting/unusual fact most people don’t know about you? MONICA: Most people don't know that I have a sister with mental disabilities. She is forty one years old, mentally she is three. When I was in high school we had a debate about abortion and I was on the side of keeping the baby alive regardless of the challenges - I kept my sister in mind the entire debate. TRINICY: What passion or dream keeps you up at night or wakes you up in the morning? MONICA: The idea that each day is a day full of opportunities. There is something unique about enjoying God's creation early morning. I am often in awe by His creation and by how faithful and slow to anger God is.

MONICA: To show the goodness of Christ through my actions and words. TRINICY: Which teacher has impacted you most? How? MONICA: My father, mother, husband. I was able to witness firsthand their obedience to Christ rather than following their own desires. They walk the talk and continue to do so. TRINICY: What is your life verse? Why?

In difficult times to remember that Christ is with me wherever I go, at the mountain tops because Christ is with me wherever I go.

The sons given to us making a decision to walk with Christ. TRINICY: What is a question you wish we had asked but didn't? What is your response to this self-selected question? MONICA: How do you deal when it seems that God is not changing the heart and desires of a person you care for? I trust God is in control. He is God and I am not.
