As a college student, Dea Areley heard the gospel for the first time. She accepted that Jesus loved her so much. Journaling became her new way of life, even unto this day. She received her master's degree in accounting and continued her education to become an ordained minister. She was convinced that a quality education would provide opportunities and balance. She has taught Bible classes for all ages and has spoken at various congregations and conferences per request. There is a burning passion within as she writes. Writing is easier than talking for her.
