The Scribe's Portion

Evelyn Fonseca

Hi! I'm Evelyn and I'm the founder and writer behind The Scribe's Portion. Welcome!

I’m a Christian millennial born and raised in southwest Arizona. I was blessed to be born into a loving Christian home with parents who raised me to fear the LORD, for which I could never be thankful enough. From a young age, I absolutely loved to write. I wrote poems, short stories, and kept journals, but above everything, I loved to write about my faith.

Upon graduating from high school, I went to college to study nursing but ended up dropping out after 3 years due to financial and health issues. I was devastated because I truly believed nursing was God’s calling in my life. Therefore, I enrolled in a technical training school to become a certified medical assistant and got my first CMA job in a doctor’s office at 20.

At this point, I was determined to continue my dream and my calling to work in healthcare. Though, not a nurse, I was thrilled to be working in my niche helping people in their sickness. That excitement was quickly extinguished when after working in several different clinics over the course of 5 years, I felt extremely unfulfilled. I thought the problem was the work environment so I would quit, and find another job, but after a couple of months, the heavy feeling of unhappiness and unfulfillment returned. I took it to God and cannot tell you how many times I asked Him “What is your will for my life, LORD, because I know life shouldn’t feel like this. What am I doing wrong?” I picked up my pen and started to write again after a long hiatus. Nothing in the world has ever made me feel so passionate, as writing.

It is my hope to use my writing and my love for the Word to foster a hunger for the Scriptures and biblical answers to questions about the Christian life.
