Tweet That’s how many posts I’ve written!

Tweet Ever sit down to write and have so much to say, but no matter how hard you try your thoughts won’t make it to the paper? yeah..that’s me right now. I seriously have a million thoughts going through my head..they have been taking away from my precious sleep time..but for some reason they won’t come out. They won’t form into something I can write about so for now I will leave you all. I will be back later when my thoughts are ready to be written about. I’m out.. Amanda

Tweet I’ve been in the mood to write lately..perhaps partly because my mind has been restless..I can’t sleep. My mind is too full of thoughts and those thoughts usually yield themselves to a blog entry. So on to the point of this blog. Perhaps it is because I’ve been thinking about college or perhaps it’s because my brother transfered schools..but God has been challenging my a lot on my point of view. Someone once told me, “What you think is reality becomes your reality”. And while I didn’t agree with them at the time, I think I do now. If I think that I am not wanted among a certain…

Tweet 13 hours. No AC. 50 some odd teenagers. Two unreliable buses and several break downs later we made it. Our destination-Brevard, North Carolina for a week of summer camp in the sweltering heat. Every summer my church takes a a bunch of teens down to the Wilds Christian camp in Brevard for a week of well..camp. And it never fails that the trips down and back are where some of the most exciting memories are made. But there was one year that will always stick out in my mind. We were all loaded up ready to head down south for the week. We had a trailer attached to the…

Tweet You may be thinking..the harmless factor, what is the world is that? One of my former teachers, Matt Harmless, was up for a visit today. He moved down to South Carolina in June of this year. It was a bittersweet occasion..on the one hand, it was great to see him and his wife, but on the other, I knew it would be over all too quickly. See, Mr. Harmless was my hero in a sense of the word..I used to love to sit and listen to him tell story after story from his highschool days. He had such a passion about what he was saying. But more then that,…

Tweet Today is my 18th birthday. I have officially entered adulthood-the stage I shall remain in till I die. Having a birthday so close to Christmas proves great in December and a bit sad in June-which I think would be the ideal month for a birthday. I have learned though that I can make twice as long of a Christmas list-that is until this year. 2004 has proven to have a lot of new beginnings in it. My dad lost his job and found a new one. My mom went to school, got a job, quit, and got another job. My brother started at Harrison. And I started my final…

Tweet I have decided I love bookstores and coffee shops! They are some of my favorite places. Probably because I love to read and I love to drink coffee. They are also great date spots..not that I ever have any dates or have any control over where I go..but if I ever do, I will put my two-sense in! LOL 🙂 all that to say..I love bookstores and coffee shops and am at a loss for what else to say.. Just a thought.. Amanda

Tweet Ever feel like you try so hard and then in one moment all the effort is reduced to a pile of nothing? Ever wondered why you are doing what you are doing? That’s kinda how I’ve felt lately. I have really been working on my spiritual life. Something happened a few weeks ago that showed some things I needed to address. I realized I was not heading the direction I wanted to be. With God’s help I have worked at slowly going about solving them. But then, in one moment-I feel like it was pointless. I know it wasn’t..but it seems like my faults are broadcasted on a big…
