If you followed my writings over the past summer, then you know I shared about stillness and the glory of God a lot. At one point, I mentioned that Holy Spirit said, “How are people going to know that I am truly with you, if you won’t let My stillness rest upon you? It’s okay to… Continue reading Summer of Stillness

The Jig is Up!
I’ve never told this story on a public platform before…. Three years ago, mom, Bridget and I were sitting in Shreveport, La waiting for our house to sell. Art… Art wasn’t selling. Our finances were nonexistent. And, we had sold everything of significant financial gain to pay bills on time. Meaning, life… Life was dark.… Continue reading The Jig is Up!
The Leak Factor
I watched honey run down the side of my breakfast this morning and I immediately thought of a phrase I’ve coined... “The Leak Factor.” I guess it’s been at least 6 years now since I’ve been using it... And no I didn’t create it, an old friend did. You see he once said, “Amanda, you… Continue reading The Leak Factor
What A Wonderful Life
This is my grandmother. You know she was healed in 1975 of a rare bone condition. Yep... On her death bed, in a neck brace and body cast for 19 1/2 years, didn’t have feeling in more than half of her body BUT the power of God’s Holy Spirit transformed her in a single moment.… Continue reading What A Wonderful Life
One Broken Vessel
Healing and wholeness have always been such a pinnacle part of who I am. And it’s not a mystery to me why I’m drawn to the supernatural power of God. It’s in my spiritual DNA. Growing up I saw my grandmother lay hands on countless people... People riddled with cancer, sick and dying from the… Continue reading One Broken Vessel
Why?
Sometimes I don’t understand why God cares so much... Is it that we mutually care? That I come to the table too? That it’s a 50/50 deal where we are both all hands on deck in this thing called life? I mean, it just doesn’t make sense to me why He’s led me down this… Continue reading Why?
When It’s Finally Over
In the past few months I've heard it said at least 20 times now, "Well, hindsight is 20/20." And though I do believe that statement is true, I've grown to love the confusion and uncertainty built into life. Now, don't get me wrong... I don't like to be confused and uncertain; however, without the confusion… Continue reading When It’s Finally Over
Mom-Mom…
Not knowing yesterday morning what was in store, I ended my journal entry with the statement that He is "always good"... Fitting for someone who used that line as an honest pillar in her life... Right now... Now is the time I could easily say, "I don't know what I'll do without her"... But that's… Continue reading Mom-Mom…
Life in Fireworks…
So much of life feels like a big firework show... I don't mean the kind we have in the convenience of our backyards... I'm referring to the type we drive distances to see... The ones that give us chill bumps because they are so spectacular... The kind in which we have no true control over... Because we didn't purchase… Continue reading Life in Fireworks…
To Travel is to Learn…
Travel the world he said... Travel it... Go for it... Move out of your comfort zone and don't be afraid to try something new... Over the last few weeks I've gone from hectic, crazy busy... To traveling through Europe... Seeing two of the countries I wanted to see the most in life... And you know… Continue reading To Travel is to Learn…
