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

THIS Mountain
I'm climbing THIS mountain in front of me. Actually... WE are climbing THIS mountain in front of US. My sister and I have climbed lots of mountains before... Separately and together. But... THIS... THIS mountain is unique because we must take all that He has deposited inside of us (separately and together), multiply it with… Continue reading THIS Mountain
What’s In HIS Heart?
Can I ask a question?... Or more so a series of questions? In the midst of this great awakening, are we constantly and consistently focused on the heart of God and what He's doing? Have we set aside isolated time... Time where we can focus on the will of God and what He truly wants as… Continue reading What’s In HIS Heart?
One More Step
"One more step"... That's what I keep hearing. That's what Holy Spirit keeps saying as I move forward into the unknown with some pretty heavy ideas, content and material. He just keeps encouraging me with that one idea... This one concept of taking one more step with Him. And... Even if it's an unknown and… Continue reading One More Step
“Help. Me.”
"Help. Me." is what I quietly screamed at my sister across the gym yesterday. The weight I tried to load onto my shoulders for lunges was entirely too heavy for me to lift. Of course she quickly looked at me like, "What am I supposed to do Amanda?! You think I can help you lift… Continue reading “Help. Me.”
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
Keep Moving Forward
We moved again yesterday... To another borough in the same city, but my point being is we MOVED! Moving is the one thing I fully believe keeps the Holy Spirit active and alive in our lives. We have to keep moving forward with Him, wherever He leads. And sometimes movement isn’t more than getting up… Continue reading Keep Moving Forward
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
Square Peg, Round Hole
"Fit in... just fit in Amanda. Figure out how to fit in and then you'll be happy and confident and secure and complete!!" This has been a narrative I constantly play out in my head. It's been a narrative that's taken possession of every season and chapter of life I've ever entered and lived through...… Continue reading Square Peg, Round Hole
Timing of the Trees
I've been coming to my grandmother's house on Cane River my entire life. It's a place that is 100% country, yet southern. While sitting on her porch yesterday I found myself very confused about a patch of trees. "Where did they come from? Did they grow over night? Why was I just now noticing them?"… Continue reading Timing of the Trees
