~About Me~

Hello, there! Welcome to Showers of Blessings! 

If you are reading this, you are probably new to my blog and are wanting to know more about the girl behind the screen. Well for starters, thank you so much for stopping by! It is my hope that you will leave this little spot on the internet with a blessing. God is such an AMAZING God, and I wish to be a light for Him through Showers of Blessings! So stay awhile!

About Me - Short Version:

My name's Brooklyne. I am a homeschool graduate who is striving to live the life that God has planned for me. When I'm not binge reading or typing wildly at the keyboard of my computer, you will usually find me spending time with my family, my horse, or knee-deep in a artsy project. I believe God is good all the time, laughing is more contagious than yawning, and dogs are a girls best friend. It is my deepest hope that through the words God has placed on my heart to write, someone will gain a blessing and a desire to have a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father.

About Me - Long Version:

My name's Brooklyne. (Yes, spelled with a "e" at the end!) I am a homeschool graduate and current college sophomore who is striving to thrive in the here and now. I am a country girl through and through. I reside with my awesome family on Winds of Faith Family Farm in Midwestern USA, where we own dogs, cats, horses, goats, mini pigs, and chickens. But really, I love animals of all kinds!

I am Seventh-day Adventist, and if you would like to know more about my religious beliefs, feel free to check out my "I Believe" page. I am also a vegetarian and believe that a plant-based lifestyle is the healthiest of options. To learn more, go to my "Choose Health" page.

I am a full time college student and getting a B.A. in Graphic Design. I’ve always liked creative projects and this is one profession where I believe God can use the gifts He’s given me.

Being a writer at heart, I realized my dream of self-publishing both fiction and non-fiction books around the time I started this blog in 2018. I am slowly and steadily working towards that dream, however, I don’t have as much time to devote to writing. #somday

As for blogging, if you have read my blog for any small amount of time, you will probably notice that I post mostly devotionals, poems, book reviews, and lifestyle posts. I also enjoy a fun blog tag now and again.

I am a bookworm who is the kind of girl that brings multiple books on vacation just in case I finish the first one! I typically read historical fiction, contemporary fiction, western fiction, Christian fiction, some Suspense, and non-fiction. I’m in the Revell Reads blogger review program, and loving it! I can’t turn down free books, now can I?!

I was dubbed a "cowgirl" the day I was bucked three times, flew through the air, and landed on my head. A trip to the emergency room and a slight concussion later, I got back up on that horse again and received the title of a True Cowgirl. I now have a healthy respect of horses, but have not let that stop me from getting back up in the saddle. I currently ride my spunky horse, Rosie, who is a chestnut Morgan. I got Rosie when she was four years old, she is now in her teens. I work with Rosie using Natural Horsemanship. So if you love horses as much as I do, then we instantly have something in common! 

If you were to know me in person, I would be the girl who is extremely quiet and definitely a introvert. But stick around for, say, 10 years and you would come to find out that if I'm around people I am comfortable with (aka my family) then I can come out of my shell and be quite rambunctious. Here on the internet, if you look closely, you can catch a small glimpse of that side, because written words have a way of slowly chipping away at my introverted self. In other words, I write a lot better than trying to "play tennis" in real-life conversation.

But most importantly, above anything else I say in this About Me page, I am a daughter of the One True King. God sent His only begotten Son to pay the ultimate price for my sins. Jesus came to die on a cross so that I (we) can be saved.What an amazing God we serve! It is my hope, that the words I say, and the words I type always glorify my Heavenly
