I just thought while I was sending her a shout out, I would share my thoughts about her. I am in a list mood today, so here we go again with another list!
1. LOVE her blog. It is profound, intelligent and filled with hope. I sat and read her blog for like 12 hours straight. It was like reading a novel on someone's life...it is AMAZING to see her journeys through life.
2. I have massive respect for Amanda. She carried herself with an air of grace that I have never seen out of anyone before. I have such admiration for her...I really would aspire to be half the woman she is!
3. What a writer! What a gift God has given her!
4. What a mother she is to her children!
5. Amanda is so compassionate. I think she embodies the verse, Corinthians 1:4 to the fullest.
6. We are in the same CG, and I had shared a prayer request for one of my children. OF COURSE when we started praying about it as a group, I got a little sniffly. We hardly knew each other at this point, and in such a tender way, reached over and held my hand for the rest of the prayer. Ugggg..the tears well up even as I type and remember that moment! It was so caring and gentle...a sweet, sweet moment for me.
7. I am SO proud to call Amanda my friend. She is one of those women that I know God has placed in my life for me to aspire to be like...
8. Seriously, I think she posts the funniest FB comments. So is so funny.
9. She has a lot on her plate, but she is always calm and steady.
10. She once bought me a starbucks to work. It was SO kind! Made my week to know that someone thought of me. Makes me smile now even thinking about it.
I really am thankful for my friend, Amanda!!!

Girl your blog looks awesome!! I am just learning to do it all myself. It is addictive!
OK, my M.I.A. blogging friend... I LOVE your new blog design by the wonderful Amanda, but I've been staring at the same post for well over a month now. Do this beautiful blog some justice! =) We demand an update!! We demand an update!!! We demand an update!!! (I'm hoping that my annoying chant will inspire a hilariously brilliant post) =)
