Arts, Crafts, Educating my children, Mentoring. an much more, Writing

My name is Amanda. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children, a wife and a sister in Christ I home school 2 of my children in the grades 3rd and 5th, let me tell you it takes a lot of dedication, but it is well worth the sleepless nights. I am active in my church, I absolutely love my Family in Christ, I try to do whatever I can to contribute. One big part of what I do on my own for our church family is I stay in touch with as many missionaries as I can. I use my skills and my willingness to help.Not to get anything in return. I do it so that I can just put a smile on a face, give a little one a little gift of hope. If you were to take about 5 minutes to take the time to listen to a missions family, who are in other parts of the states, you will understand why I do what I do. I have spent a lot of my mid to older years in life concentrating on being a mentor and an encouraging up lifter for whoever I come across and need it. God gave me a gift of being able to communicate with just about anyone. I don't know how I do it, or why I do it. I just do, and I love every minute of it. I love to do crafts, my hands are a gift. Whatever I think of making or creating my hands do, sometimes not with complete ease, but it does get done. Another passion in my life is writing, I have written journals, short stories and on for as long as I can remember. Writing is a way for me to express myself, to let go of any feelings that I may have bottled up inside, or feeling of joy that I want to share. What ever the case may be I write. I use my writing ability to help others express what they are feeling. What I mean by this is, do you ever have something you want to say to someone, but you just don't know what to say or how to write it down? Well I can do that for you also. I can feel how others feel,because I have probably been there. I just add a little spice to my writings for others. I make it Heavenly. I create art along with the words. You will see my work and understand what I am talking about. I am not going to sit here and type everything that I am able to create or not create. It will all be on my site. The most important thing to me is to help others. When I was young, I wish that I had someone to run to, someone that would give me encouraging words, someone that would let me know that everything will be okay. For all that someone, that would tell me that all I had to do was get on my knees and "Pray". It took a few years for me to understand that "Prayer" is a powerful thing. Because you are talking to the "Father Above", he is with you at all times of your life good, bad, evil,nice. He will never let go of your hand, but unfortunately we as humans tend to let go of his because we are not perfect. With out "Him" there is nothing, for he is life and life is him. Now I am not saying that I am here to preach to you, because I am far from learning all that I can when it comes to his word. I do know enough to know, that his path is the only path to walk. I work hard everyday to keep my children, husband,friends and family on the path of Glorification, Sanctification and Salvation. It can be a big job for one person. So I depend on my "Divine Gospel". It tells it all. I can sit here and tell you all about how my life was not the best life in the world, how I was widowed at the tender age of 28 while being pregnant with my daughter and having a 1 1/2 yr old son and a 5 year old son, how men took advantage of me, loosing my mother for a few years. Not in flesh but in spirit, battle cervical cancer last August, resulting in a complete hysterectomy. But why, when I have learned "Heavenly Peace" and I am here to share it all with you. I promise to dedicate my time in showing you how not to hold grudges, how not to keep the past in the future, how not to hate life per say, but to Love it, Glorify it and be in "Heavenly Peace." So if you are willing to take the time to take advice when needed, open up when you have something locked inside and just plan out be happy and in "Peace" with yourself. Lets become friends and give each other the Encouragement, the Friendship,the Laughter,the Tears and whatever else comes out of this relationship. Again welcome to my "Heavenly Peace"... I look forward to meeting and learning each of you. As you will with me. By the way I also have a very how do you say- Open Personality, I am the most out going, all around person you will meet. I can be serious when I need to. As I can be fun and funny. Please stick with me as I am building this site, don't let it stop you from posting anything. Your posting helps build my dream. My dream of "Heavenly Peace". Thank you all, and God Bless. Amanda
