About Me

Okay so this is me...I'm twenty-five...discoving that life has many shades of green...each day I realize that there's a new set of fresh air waiting for me...so I will breathe in the day as if it were my last...if I should forget...pllllease remind me. I'm totally down to having clean fun...drinking lots of water...some coffee. I want to try this new hip-hop class and work on my moves...okay so that's funny. I'm a certified nurse's assistant yet working as a toddler teacher...until I turn in my resume and app at a hospital that is my last of choosing. Later I wish to continue school for physical therapy...and the song pops in my head...let's get physical, physical I want to be a physical therapist. Alright, alright so I'm crazy.. anyways I'm super involved in youth ministry.. I've been a youth sponser/leader for a few years and going. I love that age because that's when you question who you truely are and that's where I got lost. Sunday mornings at 10AM I teach a high school class over home hurts. For those in high school who have not yet checked it out I encourage you to visit at least one time; I'm pretty sure you'll be back. It's a group involved setting with many topics teens deal with. Just about anything else you'll have to figure out on your own...that's me.

I like to write poems and this would better explain the reason for Jonah. Run Away: After dark on a Sunday night/ I ran from you in fright// I didn't want you to see me this way/ Because I have betrayed// I guess I thought you couldn't see/ Unless I were inside the sanctuary// Forgive me Lord for all that I've done/ Forgive me Lord for being on the run// When I heard your voice I cried/ When I heard your voice I realized/ That you are Christ the living king/ That you have recognized and seen// Nothing can be hidden or covered up/ 'Cause you have seen through me.// -Amanda



My Interests

1.) Music, I love music so much that I even have my own kareokee machine and mic. stand at home.2.) Friendship, Friendship is so important because of accountability purposes and life is so much more exciting when you share it with others.3.) Talking, I love to talk about everything and especially like to talk of spiritual things.4.) I'm also involved in outreach activities. The slide below is a glimps of our set up for Hell House.

I'd like to meet:

A couple of Easter's ago we had something called Resurection House held at the church I attend, and every time it came to the part in the play where a woman standing at the well who Jesus had spoke with of her past and present ran off to tell of how Jesus was the one that they had waited for and how he saw through her and did not reject her because of it, I would then cry.I was that girl, the girl who was rejected not only by others but by her very own self. With all of the mistakes to be made I accomplished them, but what I learned in the process was that GOD never abandoned me. It was I that abandoned him and he waited for me to come back home. Of coarse He allowed things to happen to cause me to come running but that's what makes me, me and I adore myself now. The good and the bad are sacred to me. How warm you feel to know that GOD is willing to forgive if you're willing to change. He chooses to still love me and He will continue to love you. That doesn't mean He doesn't love you right now because He does. His love never changes we just don't like to accept it when we feel we don't deserve it. I want to meet those who feel like life will never change that there isn't anymore to experience. Those who feel like they're at a dead end and no one can come to your rescue. GOD sent his son JESUS to die on a cross to bridge the gap between He and us who fell into sin from the beginning of time. He wants a relationship with us personally not to ask Him for things we desire but to know the inside out, His purpose for the life He's given each of us. I want to help set the page for you to see the things that you wouldn't if you weren't looking for it. He is out there waiting for you.

Music:

I like the jazzy blues sound and the pop rock.

Superchick



Movies:

Definately chick flicks. My favorite actress is Julia Roberts especially in the movie My Best Friends Wedding. I also like action movies. A friend had me look at this video below and it now is my favorite because it tells the story of the fight we go through in life. I pray that this video penetrates your heart as it has mine.

Television:

CSI, LAW AND ORDER, and COURT TV. I love to watch anything having to do with justice, the law, crime, and forensics. THE WAY OF THE MASTER is also a favorite.

Books:

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers is my all time favorite. My favorite story in the bible is Jonah. "How many people do you know get swallowed by a whale and live to tell about it?" The real reason for my admiration for Jonah is because my story is of the same. Just finished reading Bookends by Liz Curtis Higgs, which is an awesome love story and will soon begin Six Hours One Friday by Max Lucado.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ because he saved and changed my life. I know a lot of people say that but it's true. If you didn't know me before it would be hard for you to imagine me any different than I am today. Here's a thank you note from me to you Lord~Dear Jesus, You are my closest friend/ I'll love you even after the end/ You gave me a life to live/ And I'll live that life for you/ I'll share the good news/ Because you bore my shame/ Because you bore the pain/ Thank you for taking my place/ Thank you for your amazing grace. -Amanda
