Every one has their own story.
Nina, however, has never been one for the romantic, sappy ones.
She still reads them, although they like to rip her heart out whenever she finishes.
She falls in love with the characters and then wishes that those cliché things would happen to her.
But that's the problem.
They don't.
Everyone looks at her differently than they do with others.
And, well, that's because she is.
She's a religious girl, living in a small town where everyone knows everyone.
She doesn't get to have the luxuries of everyone else around her.
But she doesn't want any of those luxuries they have.
She knows she's following God in the way He wants her to live.
She doesn't need the things of this world to be happy.
People like her don't get to live in clichés.
But once, just once, Nina might actually get to experience the romance that she's been dreaming of.
This isn't your average love story.
Everyone has their own story.
Her name is Nina Delgado.
And this isn't just a story about how she found love.
This is a story about her walk with Christ, and how she found something more than just a relationship.
She found hope, faith, and someone to grow closer to God with.

The Quiet Heart's Accord (A Christian Love Story)
Eunice is tired of the dating scene, and more than anything, she's tired of her own restless heart. A dedicated Christian, she yearns for a real, godly love-the kind built on spiritual foundation, not fleeting infatuation. Unfortunately, her dating history is a revolving door of disappointment. She's prayed, waited, and believed each potential suitor was "the one," only to find they were either immature and unwilling to commit, or worse, masked their intentions behind faith and were purely lustful. Her eagerness to find her 'missing rib' has left her emotionally depleted and questioning her discernment. Hitting rock bottom, Eunice finally surrenders her timeline to the Almighty. She petitions God not for a person, but for undeniable confirmation-a divine sign that her soulmate is indeed on the way, and that she needs to simply stop searching. The answer she receives is an overwhelming peace, a conviction that her future husband will be the one to find her, just as scripture says: "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22, ESV). Now, Eunice must learn to embrace the slow burn-a season of quiet faith, self-discovery, and deep trust. But when a kind, steadfast man suddenly appears in her life, not chasing or demanding, but simply walking alongside her, Eunice is faced with the ultimate test. Is this quiet, consistent presence the Accord her heart has been waiting for, or another distraction disguised as destiny? This is a slow-burn romance about resting in God's timing, learning to trust His peace over your panic, and discovering that the most profound love often arrives not with a declaration, but with a quiet, certain accord.

FROM THEN ON
WARNING: IT IS NOT AS CLICHE AS YOU THINK He didn't believe in GOD or love and seeing himself married was close to impossible. That is, until he met her. She is definitely not like any girl he has ever met. She is a christian, doesn't drink and refuses to have sex until the day she says ''I DO''.......but how long is he willing to wait? Only time will tell. What if he is able to get her to abandon her beliefs just so he can have the one thing he lusts after so badly?..... or what if its the other way around? What if he starts to give in to her Godly ways? The story can go either way......but there's only one way to find out.Complete

This was real life... this was my religious bisexual life experience. And I take pride in what I wrote here. Of fucking course religious bisexuals go "back and forth" in a homophobic era. You won't have to teach me wrong from right. I'm just sharing one experience to relate to other's similar experiences. We will not be silenced. 🏳️🌈❤️🔥Complete
WHAT THEY SEE
"I got you something." He told her pulling away, while she watched him curiously until he pulled out a pandora bag. Her eyes widened at the necklace with an infinity symbol in crested with small little diamonds. "How you even afford this kari?" She questioned, unable to take her eyes off of it. "Shit, my savings." He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?" He stood behind her and she moved her hair out of the way as he put it around her neck and clipped it back together. Her hand immediately went to it. "I'm never gone take it off." She promised him turning to face him. "I love you kari." "I love you too, hone. Til Infinity." --- When an unfortunate sequence of events suddenly separates two bestfriends, Dakari and Honesty, with no plausible reason, it's shakes up the world of the two inseparable individuals.
