HAPPY 2012! Here we are on the 2nd day of the newest year! I am happy to report to the G.L.A.M. world that I have officially survived 2011 and moved on to a brand new year full of untapped potential! YEE HAW! (That’s Alabamian for YAY!) So to kick off the start of this fantastic new future I give you my goals for 2012. (Notice I did not say resolutions, because those are too easy to break, goals however, are changeable, and workable, and something that goes far beyond February 1)

4 words... Part 2

about 13 years ago

Mary’s life was changed by four words and if you think that she was an unlikely character to speak such powerful words then the next group was WAY unlikely. Many people thought that the Savior of the world would come by way of a great king who would be worshiped by the highest of highs. Ha! We all know that is not what happened! Instead the King of Kings came in the form of a little baby and was worshiped by some very unlikely characters…. One group being Shepherds.

Confession.

about 13 years ago

“HI, I’m Amanda and I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER.” Now you all say… “Hi, Amanda!” That’s right. I’m a people pleaser. I spend much of my time and energy focusing on the needs or desires of the people around me. Many times that comes at the expense of my own needs and desires. But, they say acceptance is the first step to recovery, right!?

4 Words...

about 13 years ago

I love the Christmas story in the book of Luke. I love hearing it read aloud, I love reading it myself, I love seeing it portrayed through Christmas plays and movies and I love hearing carols reflecting the story. I would dare to say that in my 25 years of life I have heard the Christmas story in some form or another over 150 times. Honestly. However, this past weekend when I saw it portrayed at a churches Christmas program I saw something different. Something new and exciting to me. I saw four words that changed me. I saw three different “characters”, if you will, in the Christmas story say four words that changed lives. Over the next three weeks leading to Christmas I would like to look at these three characters and the four words that they spoke.

Things I wish I knew at 15... [Part 1]

about 13 years ago

The distant future, the year 2000... A bright-eyed and bushy eye-browed 15-year old version of me was venturing into high school. If Doc could show up with the DeLorean and take me back to that time to talk to myself or my friends. What would I say? Probably first, pluck your eyebrows and stop putting bleach in your hair... Then I'd think of some more substantial advice. This blog will be the first in a series of (hopefully) interesting thoughts on how it feels 10 years later.

Serengeti...Sweet Fellowship...Shopping. Oh yeah, and rain. (Africa Part 2)

Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 10:09AM

For the love, the rain would not stop! Just when we think we are going to have an absolutely gorgeous day, the clouds roll in and BAM…there’s rain falling. Seriously, I should have packed some rain boots! Oh well, at least the crops are getting watered so they can grow. Which means there will be ample amounts of rice and beans for me to consume. Yummy! My favorite African meal! :)

Our safari car!Anyway… Wednesday morning we got up extra early and piled into our “safari car” with Vincent (an excellent driver who has taken me on all three of my safaris) and headed towards the Serengeti.

"Mom" Upside Down is "Wow."

Friday, May 10, 2013 at 05:47PM

Me and mom at Disney!I know I am supposed to be continuing on with tales from my Africa trip, but I am taking a break this week for a topic that is worthy of talking about…Moms!

Marion Garretty said that, “Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.” I think she hit the nail on the head when she penned those words. I know that without a single doubt in my mind that I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for my mom. Well, both of my parents, but this is all about moms! Sorry dad! :)

Planes…Power…Perspective. Africa Part 1...

Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 06:40PM

I have been silent the last few weeks on my GLAM blog, but I have a good excuse! I have been in Africa! It was an incredible trip visitng my best friend, Liv, and her husband, Brian, and working with their ministry, Anza Imani. We were able to spend lots of time with the street boys there in Mwanza, Tanzania. This was my 3rd trip to Mwanza and it was incredible! Over the next several weeks I would like to share what we did adn the incredible things did and taught me while I was gone. So, here goes nothing...The first six days of my trip! :)

Alston, me, Liv and Brian at church!Thursday, April 4, I was at the airport headed to Africa. Within the first 3 hours of our journey we encountered a very delayed flight and sprinted through the Atlanta airport (that is not an exaggeration, I promise!), 35 hours and 5 plane rides later…We made it to Mwanza!!!
