It’s dark, tight and completely isolated, but not in a divisive, evil or wicked way. More so in a deeply concealed and ingeniously crafted manner. I am confident. I am strong. I firmly believe moving forward with great courage and tremendous hope is the only way now. And I hear Him saying, “Run with perseverance.… Continue reading Seasonal Milestones

Satisfied?
Last week I shared how vital it's been for me to "capacitate" in life. But... You know... I was kind of vague when speaking about capacity because I didn't really delve into the areas inside of me that are being pressed to the limit. So here we go... Being specific about where I'm growing with… Continue reading Satisfied?
Get Lost
At the beginning of January I heard Holy Spirit say, “Something very scary is about to happen in the city and the world, but I will protect you and your family. Do not be afraid. Do not live in fear. Just continue to pray. Pray for your family and friends... Pray that I keep my… Continue reading Get Lost
Holiness?

And no I didn’t create it, an old friend did. You see he once said, “Amanda, you… Continue reading The Leak Factor
I Cried
I cried on the train this morning. I cried on the train this morning because it’s time to take another risk... Another gamble... Another giant leap of faith forward with God. And you know what? That’s still challenging for me. It’s still challenging to go, “You want me to do what next?! I’m tired of… Continue reading I Cried

I believe my constant desire for more life is why I always chose the challenge. I want my world to become a flourishing paradise... One… Continue reading Keep Following
The Best Way
About 7 years ago I was in college, working on something God had me put my entire self into. The idea He gave me seemed simple; however, I never realized how often I would think about the words He gave me to live by. "Amanda, the journey you're about to go on will be very… Continue reading The Best Way

Have you ever been in a moment in life where you've had to put something valuable to rest? It may be a person, a place or a thing... But the reality is that you have to let go of it with the idea that you may never cross paths with it again. You see a… Continue reading My Valuable Past
