Amanda passed the one year mark in her sobriety walk last Sunday.
In the past I would have shouted this from the roof tops... but what I have come to understand is that each day is a struggle in itself... so tomorrow must left for tomorrow... so boasting or predicting the future should be avoided for the sake of humility... Simply put, appreciate the current, temper future thoughts and trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind body and soul.
Amanda has surrounded herself with a network of support that is empowering and supportive... Many our strong women having deep faith and conviction. They also have walked the path she has. Having them speak into her life will only serve to help her as she moves forward.
She has experienced so much hardship and challenge over the years. Much was brought on by her own bad decisions and associations she chose to pursue. It has been , and still is, a hard lesson to learn and overcome... but not impossible. So those who are reading this that might be struggling... never let go of hope... just reach out... feel free to contact me if necessary.
I see a strength in her that is admirable and humbling; I am not sure how I would have held up under similar circumstances. She has always had a kind and loving heart; now conviction appears to be surfacing. I pray only now for God’s will to be done through her so His healing glory can be seen.... and that she be surrounded with God fearing and loving folks who emulate a life worth living.
I am incredibly proud of her, she has come a long way... I certainly don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know who holds it.
Keep praying for us, it has meant so much, and has been such a weapon of comfort, peace and strength for our family.
2 Corinthans 10:4
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Blessed Day All...!
Thanks for the wonderful update on Amanda’s progress, PR!
Great start to my day, I’ll tell you!
I was looking at my old Freepmails a few days ago, and saw one from you about Amanda, and I was reminded to pray for her.
Now, to hear such wonderful news about her, it makes me just want to praise the Lord for His goodness.
God bless you, Amanda and your whole family.
