For the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about the topic of overcoming. I’ve been mulling over it in my spirit and soul, aiming to connect to truth to help me move forward. After much thought and consideration, I sat down with Holy Spirit and asked Him. I said, “Will you teach me how to… Continue reading The Gumption to Overcome

Onward & Upward: Pressing Past the Soul
I am weary, God. I am very weary. I don't enjoy this process of maturity that asks me to keep climbing upwards. It is a high peak where we are going. My soul doesn’t like this. My soul wants to give up and walk away. I don't like this at all. Holy Spirit said, "Okay...… Continue reading Onward & Upward: Pressing Past the Soul
Gifts for the Mountain of Maturity
Last Tuesday, Holy Spirit presented me an endless pile of gifts. I saw them in the spirit, wrapped in white paper with giant pink bows and received them with open arms. He told me most of the gifts were locked and needed a key. I asked if I could start opening the gifts that don’t… Continue reading Gifts for the Mountain of Maturity
Run Hard
"Run Hard. Persevere. Keep Moving Forward." I tell myself these things every single day. They are the inner motivation I need to remain constant and consistent to the path I’m walking down with Holy Spirit. And the motivation is good. It does help me press forward in moments where I could become complacent; however, I… Continue reading Run Hard
The Responsibility
My goal as a writer for the past 8-10 years has always been centered around having the vulnerability to share the inner workings of myself and my relationship with God. To give a first-hand, in the moment account of a cultivated life. My heart is always aiming to demonstrate how Holy Spirit is working to… Continue reading The Responsibility
Violence
The past three days or so I've felt a growing sense of violence surrounding me. Like I can’t breathe because I feel an extreme measure of torment pursuing my heart and soul. And I’ve never been a depressed type, but I do feel a very sudden and extreme sense of hopelessness weighing me down. Of… Continue reading Violence
Seasonal Milestones
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
Three Years Later
On Tuesday my sister and I marked 3 years in NYC. If you know me or have followed my writings for a while then you know getting to this chapter of life was a journey for us. We’ve faced more life trials and obstacles than I’d wish on anyone; however, over the past three years,… Continue reading Three Years Later
Middle-Ground Movement
You know that place between the beginning and the end? Yeah! The middle! That place! That spot where you’re certain you’ve stepped out into a higher level of faith… A level that is extremely uncomfortable. And now… Now that you’re in the middle, you’ve actually become kind of comfortable because the initial shock of stepping… Continue reading Middle-Ground Movement
Weary for Nothing
"Ew... You're whining and complaining again Amanda!! Remember, we've outgrown this place. And I know it's challenging to understand where Holy Spirit is leading and why He's pointing "that way next," but we don't whine and complain because of our heart and soul's lack of understanding. Instead we power up the giftings and tools He's… Continue reading Weary for Nothing
