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)

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.

“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!?

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.

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.

Let Us Read

by Wild and Precious and Kincaid ParadeLast month at GLAM, we started a very free-form book club by first reading 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker and then Love Does by Bob Goff. [Check out the blogs and podcasts about 7: "Book Club: Extreme Edition" | Podcast 37: "Book Club" | "Do your best and rest." and Love DoesPodcast 38: "Show You Love"]

So for those of you who are enjoying the book suggestions and discussions, we want to tell you about another awesome (slightly more organized) online book club called The Same Page.  Right now the book selection is Grace for the Good Girl - "Letting go of the try-hard life." 

Let us know if you are enjoying the book selections, and we will find more for you gals.

Holiday CD Benefits International Justice Mission

Looking for a creative gift idea that also benefits those in need? It Happened One Night, a musical mosaic of the season, was written and performed by many of the biggest names in Christian music - including MercyMe, Kari Jobe, Brandon Heath, Mandisa and David Crowder - who share in the vision of the International Justice Mission and donated their time and proceeds to this project. Joyful, reverent and warm, this unique collaboration offers a new take on classic Christmas songs while illuminating the issue of modern day slavery.

The best defense against abuse is mentoring!

Raising awareness for the prevalence of child sex trafficking in America is critical in the global war against human trafficking.  However, audience members at community awareness events are often left feeling overwhelmed by the issue. 

“What can I possibly do?”  I’m often asked by those still reeling from survival stories and statistics, “How can I get involved?”

And I always answer in the same way: Become a mentor!
