About Me... For His Glory.

I tried putting this all in my profile section, but it was too much writing.. If you don't want to read it all, I don't blame you... I wouldn't want to. Haha.. Be Blessed:

God is so Good to me and has been with me every step of the way. This is something my dad and mom have always reminded me. My name is Nick Nunez. I was born and raised in Southern California. I come from a family of six, (Mom, Dad, Danny, Sophie, and Desi, my sister in Heaven) but now I am blessed with a sister-in-law as well as my nephew Elijah!!! Also a niece on the way!

Before I began, I must tell you, this testimony really belongs to Christ, for it is all because of His finished work that I can even be here typing. And also, by the Love and support, and constant PRAYER from my family, begging God to transform my life. Because of my family, including my Heavenly Fahter, I am a man after the heart of God today, but still growing every moment. So I grew up in a great household. My parents taught me pretty much everything, and I always looked up to both my siblings in many ways. My life really just began about 2 years ago in college. See I grew up knowing about God and acknowleding Jesus as God...but that was it. Until my junior year of highschool, I found Jesus and began pursuing him, thanks to my older brother's obedience to God. He followed Christ, and I wanted to be like Danny, so I began following God as well. Things were looking good and life was so much richer than before. During all this time, I was also in a realtionship with a wonderful woman, Albertina. Other than the fact that Jesus was not the center of our lives and relationship, things with her were great and from a worldy perspective, nearly perfect. We stayed together for about 4 years, and to this day, she is one of my best friends! As time went on, I quickly fell away from pursuing Christ when I reached my first year of college. I started living for myself again, pleasing Nick, and fulfilling the desires of Nick rather than Christ, my King. I finally moved to Irvine for about a year, going to school at Saddleback college, pursuing my education to get into Med. school, to become a P.A. While in Irvine, I was tempted many times to go to parties and hang out w/the world, and fall into the image of the world. Fortunately, though it sounded great to me at the time and God knows I wanted to, the Lord had other plans for me. Plans far greater than I could ever imagine, or ask for! He plugged me into a small bible study at the college, with some eloquent students. Now the Study was a bit bizzarre, not my flavor, but I was starting my walk over again, and at the time didn't know any better. What I enjoyed is that we read the Bible and during that time, they were going through the book of Romans. Finally, one study, we came to chapter 12, and at first glance I kinda just read right over verses 1 and 2. But later that night I opened my Bible to ch.12 knowing that those 2 verses had for some reason stuck out to me. I would quote them for you, but I rather you go open a bible and check them out for yourself, and be blessed! So these verses stuck out to me, particularly Romans 12:2. I new my life need a change, a transformation, and I tried and tried on my own, but fell miserably short. So that's when I knew I needed to turn to Christ. I began pursuing church every wednesday night at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, and also another College group study on Thursday nights. God had suddenly placed Christians in my life, and began encouraging me, and allowing me to grow slowly but surely into the man He desired me to become. I moved back home, for I had had enough of the "OC" and living in the flesh. I moved back home, stopped going to school for a PA, and joined Bible College!!! I decided to do this after the Lord graciously brought me out to Japan! In Japan I stayed at the Calvary Bible College, and really was the first time, I got to step out and serve my Lord! Wait a second, suddenly Jesus my God, became MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!! This is the beautiful transformation He has made in my life. Going from God, to now my Lord and God! See, calling Jesus God is easy. Even the demons believe that Jesus is God. That is a no brainer if you have a tid bit of knowledge. But calling Jesus, Lord, is quite different and extreme. While I acknowledge Jesus as Lord, at the same time I am acknowledging and calling myself a SERVANT! A servant of whom? Jesus Christ! And that is far better than any title, degree, or salary could label one as. A servant of Jesus! Since I got back from Japan, I got plugged into childrens ministry at home church, and also was blessed with a short term missions trip to the Philippines! Today, as I type this, I have finished my first semester at Calvary Chapel Bible College, and am currently sitting in a bamboo made chair, back here in the Philippines! God knew that my desire for life is to serve Him, and also that I love the people here in the Philippines! So again, by His great mercy and grace, He has called me back here to serve Him, and his children, and I am open to whatever He wills for my life. It has been truly a blessing living for Christ, and not for the world or myself. My whole family is Saved, so it is great growing together all the time. I love hearing from all of you. Each time is a new blessing and encouragement. Please continue to pray for me, as I pray for you... and don't be a stranger. Tell me the new things that God is doing in your life. I truly love all of you, and I thank Jesus Christ, my God and my Lord for putting you in my life. Romans 12:1-2 In Christ my Lord, Nick
