Hello my name is Christina. I am a California native and have lived here my whole life. Yes, I guess you can consider me a "Cali Girl". Recently I graduated college and wanted to share some of things I have learned not only in life but spiritually I have grown so much. This blog is really to encourage & inspire others. I love writing music, singing and playing the acoustic guitar. I love the Lord with all of my heart and hope to share the things the wonderful and good Lord Jesus has done for me. <3 The reason I named this blog "Daughters & Sons of a King" is because if you believe in God the Father and that He came to the earth in the form of the Son Jesus, and if you BELIEVE in faith, then you are heirs to God and His Kingdom in eternity. That is the gospel of the Bible and belief of a Christ follower. If you have this in your heart, then YOU, who are so special.. are a child of God!! Isn't that amazing?! We are all Sons and Daughters of the Most High God in faith. We are truly royals!



It says in the Word of God



 "...you also like living stones; are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ...But you are a chosen people, a ROYAL priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were  not a people, but now you are a the people of God; once you had not recieved mercy, but now you have recieved mercy." - (1 Peter 2: 5, 9-10)

I am blessed by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and hope that if you do not yet know Him that the Holy Spirit will speak to you and that God will show you His power and glory.  I am beyond grateful and feel I need to share... One word for the day B.E.L.I.E.V.E

As a part of my graduation present I went to the beautiful Sydney, Australia. There, I traveled with one of my favorite people, my Aunt Cindy. We went to the Hillsong Conference & worshipped with over 20,000 people! We saw the Darling Harbor, went to Bondi Beach, Manly Beach, saw the famous Opera House, had dinner on the beach, went shopping, exploring and grew to love so many nice people there! So many friendly Aussies! I have to say we also learned some of the Australian sayings such as "its involved" (for ex: the tax is "involved" or aka "included"), "mind the gap", "flat white" (aka-coffee with milk) "keen" (adventurous), "heaps" (lots) and more!!! I had the most amazing time...we went the end of June mid July. The theme of the conference was "Cornerstone" how ironic-the scripture I JUST shared in 1 Peter 2 was the theme of the weekend, and was the main message! 




I can't wait to share more about what God is doing in my life and how amazing He is! 
Since I love music I want to share a song that is so inspiring and one of the songs we heard while at the events at All- phones Arena. It is one of my favorites and is called "Beneath the Waters."
