I love this time of the year. God’s supernatural window is open in an extraordinary way as He pulls Himself closer to us. And you know I found myself sitting with Him this morning, discussing a list of projects that lay before me, praying for a number of situations that need to come into divine… Continue reading Faith for the Mountain

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
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
Quit… Today?
I thought about quitting today. I told God, “I can’t do this anymore.” Actually... I’ve been telling Him that for a few weeks now. “I don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want your stupid promises! It’s cost so much to get to this place! I don’t care about your will!” You see my… Continue reading Quit… Today?
Doubtful Disbelief
“Stop what you’re doing!”... That’s what doubt and disbelief scream at me. “Stop what you’re doing and don’t move forward because you’re a fool and this is ridiculous." And it’s like that every time I step out in faith... I feel great at first. I feel like, I can “take on the world.” I feel… Continue reading Doubtful Disbelief
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
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
It’s Fixed!
It's fixed. My heart... it's fixed. How do I know it's fixed? I know it's fixed because I moved forward in life. I spoke to the fear that was trying to convince me to not move forward. I told it to sit down and shut up. I told it that it no longer has power… Continue reading It’s Fixed!
Without the Idol
I discovered a fear embedded deep within me. I discovered a fear embedded deep within me and it has to go. It has to go because I need to be free so I can move forward in life. You see I used to be very good about idolizing people. I used to place all of… Continue reading Without the Idol
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
