Amanda

Amanda. My name in Latin means “beloved, worthy of love.” This morning, that outpouring of love is returning to me as friends and family call and email to show me compassion. One friend’s call exhorted me with the following from Psalm 62, “My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God!”

Yesterday, part of me wanted to simply give up on my personal and spiritual dreams because I felt completely wrung out and used up. Though it is excruciatingly difficult on ALL levels, I have determined to continue to take my walk with Christ seriously! I keep looking at the ring I wear on my ring finger to remind me of my relationship to Christ, my marriage if you will, and have absolutely resolved to not divorce my Lover and Creator ... no matter what. (These are the kinds of moments for which my blog was created most for.)
