Stepping out into a new chapter of life often feels like biting off more than you can chew. So much newness swarms around you at once, and all you want to do is get a firm grasp on the it before it completely owns you and overwhelms you entirely… Or at least that’s how I… Continue reading Combo Meal: Humility & Grace

The Heart of Intent
I sat down with the Father last week to discuss multiplication. The week before He told me I had merely scratched the surface of it. Before I could even begin to ask a question, I heard “the heart of intent. That’s where we are headed next.” Then He took me back to 2008, a time… Continue reading The Heart of Intent
Containment
I’ve tried to write what’s on my heart so many times. I’ve deleted what I’ve said because of the fear of sounding “harsh.” But… You know what? I have to say what’s jumbling around inside. Do you ever stop and think, “What’s in God’s heart? How does He see our world? What are His solutions?… Continue reading Containment
Receiver
I walked 16.8 miles last Wednesday, June 2. At the top of my walk, I stumbled on a bed of pink peonies and my heart was immediately elated. I squealed with excitement and joy when I saw them because they are my favorite flower. Everything about them is absolutely lovely. And so, I decided to… Continue reading Receiver
Delighted
I cried myself to sleep last night. And there’s nothing wrong with me in the least bit. Really and truly, I am healthy and seeking more inner refinement, development, maturity and growth daily. All of my needs are being met. I have more than enough and I feel very satisfied with where God is leading… Continue reading Delighted
The Vault
I was in the spirit yesterday morning, praying and talking to God like normal… All of a sudden I saw a large brownish/maroonish/whiteish marbled wall that spanned down a hallway. I didn’t know where I was, so I asked Holy Spirit. He said, “You’re in your Heavenly mansion, and I want to show you something… Continue reading The Vault
My Word is: Faith
For the past several days I’ve been searching for the best word to describe my experience with 2020... And as I’ve fumbled through the list in my head and heart, the one that’s continued to pop up is “faith." And if you’re anything like me, faith might sound so simple. However, it’s my faith and… Continue reading My Word is: Faith
Heaven’s Pace
Last week I told you that God was examining my heart again... Of course, in the moment I didn't really understand what the examination was all about. I mean... He does inspect it quite often, but this time... This time felt different. So, in true "Amanda form," I questioned Him about it. His response, "I'm… Continue reading Heaven’s Pace
“Bettering” My Heart
Oh boy... I hear it again, "What's in your heart Amanda? I'm searching your innermost parts to see what's planted there and what kind of ground it's growing on. Are you going to let me have the things that are languishing? Are you going to surrender the fear that's keeping you from moving forward? And… Continue reading “Bettering” My Heart
For the Love of God
"But the disappointment God... It's SO heavy. I don't want to feel it anymore. I don't want to carry it anymore. Plus... Paired with the anger... The anger that's still consuming 10% of my heart... Well the anger really makes the disappointment feel all consuming at times." This is me. This is me working through… Continue reading For the Love of God
