I'm Maria Delia Fortunato, but friends call me "Adelle." I grew up in the Philippines but moved to Las Vegas in 2012, where I currently work 3 days a week as a nurse and 7 days a week as a bondservant of Christ. I love to sit down and engage someone in deep conversations. I find it always fascinating to hear about a person's background, principles, beliefs, why they are who or where they are today, their motivations, stories of success, failure and persistence, dreams, aspirations, and callings.
Apart from God, I am nothing. I believe that it is simply impossible to draw absolutes, in which to gauge our way of life, from our relative minds. I cannot merely think of any better way to live my life than to cling to the Cross of Christ to redeem me from the snares of my own intrinsic follies. "...For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor. 12:10. I try to live each day, by the grace of God, with my heart set on eternity (home). I believe that how we live our years on earth, will determine our eternity. What we do here and now, has its repercussions. But we have a promise to hold on to... the gift of eternal life through Christ, to anyone who chooses to repent and believe. Romans 6:23, John 3:16.
This blog contains accounts of my personal journey as a Christian with a few what-nots. But my prayer is that as you read through my entries, you will find encouragement and hope, knowing that though this journey may seem long, arduous, and lonely at times, you are not walking alone (1 Pet 5:9b).
