For about a month now, I've been asking Holy Spirit if I can share a spiritual experience I had. I mean... It was fascinating!! So, I couldn't wait for Him to give me the notion to "move forward." About a month ago I was praying, listening to Him and speaking to my human spirit... Then,… Continue reading The Gem of Anointing

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
J Man
This is J Man... Most know Him as Jesus. He was created a year ago by my ever-so gifted and talented sister Bridget. (The stories on how He was created and why would blow your mind- Maybe I’ll share them one day) You know... He’s moved with us all over NYC. Yep, each borough we’ve… Continue reading J Man
A Decade in the Making
Okay... Today, I hit the decade mark of losing 100 lbs! So... What does it mean to me to look at the girl on the left, the young woman on the right and the woman in the middle? Well... To me the three make up a cultivated lifestyle of restoration and freedom. When I finished… Continue reading A Decade in the Making
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
Selfless Madness
I'm convinced the most challenging part of being selfless is the reality that you gain virtually nothing from it. Sure there's some type of intangible lesson learned... But as far as tangible gain, it's not there. And that's where I am right now... Wrestling with God over this idea... Over this lifestyle of being selfless.… Continue reading Selfless Madness
No Plan
Why do we have to have a plan? Why is that a credential to move forward in this world? Because I don’t remember God ever telling me to have a plan. In fact... Every time I create a plan (even the most masterful and brilliant), He comes in and destroys it and then replaces it… Continue reading No Plan
Prep Mode
What happens when stepping out with God doesn’t feel like it’s enough? How do you manage the reality of, “Well I’m doing everything He said to do. What else is there? Shouldn’t I feel whole and complete and ready?!?!” Because I feel like I’m always in prep mode. Like I’m always aiming to prepare for… Continue reading Prep Mode
Remember When?
Remember when you were a kid and your parent said, "We're not there yet. Sit back and enjoy the ride."?... But then you, without understanding the concept of waiting, became overly frustrated and tired of riding... That's where I am in life right now. I am tired of this journey I'm on with God. I… Continue reading Remember When?
Resurrected Life
You know 5 years ago this fall I decided Cultivate Life and I weren’t for each other. I was filled with utter confusion and deep pain as I found myself in the darkest season of my life. I promised myself I’d never allow anything to hurt me like that again because the pain I felt… Continue reading Resurrected Life
