Gonna be the girl who changed her mind and changed the world!
Latest Blog: September 14, 2008
Okay! I'm entering into this whole new phase in my life, and just like all the phases prior to this one.... I have no clue how it all works. I do know one thing though, I love my Jesus, and no matter what roads he sends me down, I am going to praise and love Him. I had a whirlwind summer romance that recently ended, and it left me hurt - naturally. A great friend of mine recently told me " Our God is the master of restarts", so I'm "restarting". I let a man walk into my life and rearrange all of my priorities... BIG MISTAKE! I think that for right now i need to focus on my education and leave the future to the one who knows whats best. So from now on, I am going to be the Amy that God wants me to be... The New And Improved Version - Amy 4.0, lol.

"Find what it means to be the girl who changed her mind and changed the world"
WHOA, lets see, who am I? Im a small town girl who loves to have a good time. Im totally random and a bit silly, but thats what makes me unique and interesting. I teach sunday school, i love kids. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, and i give untill it hurts sometimes. I love to meet new people, you can never have to many friends, especially good Christian ones! I am also currently a college student, and i work part time, so i dont have much free time anymore. my life these days basicly consists of sleeping, working, and bugging the life out of my dad.
So, i've been trying to blog lately, but it seems that whenever i hit "post", it just deletes all of the frustrations i have just poured out. this of course seems to always make me 10x more frustrated!! so this is more or less a test blog, just to see what happens.
At what point did my life become so complicated? I was single and enjoying it, just being myself. and then out of the blue this amazing man catches me of guard and blows my mind, and we spend a month in fast forward, and then of left field it's like " whoa, lets take a step back". i guess im just standing here wondering what am i supposed to feel, how do i react? is anger justified? it's it ok to feel hurt that i keep taking the backseat to everything in his life? will there ever be a day where i come first? i have all these feelings that i know nothing about, and even though i've been single most of my life... i've never felt so alone. im sure that one way or another he's going to hear all about this. i know we are young, and having fun, and don't want to stop that... but can't we have fun *together* sometimes? if im in the group, then why didnt i get invited to go dancing the night after our little "step back". i feel unwanted, and that doesnt make me happy. i know he cares, i can feel it with all my heart, but it's like the blind leading the blind because we are both new to this. maybe i shouldn't even be writing this, but i needed to get it all out.
Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, of what i did, of who I am... but most of all, im scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way i feel when i'm with you -Dirty Dancing
~*Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup. The one who always reminds you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you. The one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her."*~

The earth will never be the same again.
Rock, water, tree, iron share this grief
As distant stars participate in pain.
A candle snuffed, a falling star or leaf,
A dolphin death, O this particular loss
Is Heaven-mourned; for if no angel cried,
If this small one was tossed away as dross,
The very galaxies then would have lied.
How shall we sing our love's song now
In this strange land where all are born to die?
Each tree and leaf and star show how
The universe is part of this one cry,
That every life is noted and cherished,
And nothing loved is ever lost or perished.
A Ring of Endless Light
by Madeleine L'Engle
December 23, 2007 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him. When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: "And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel." Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him. After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

My Jesus Todd Agnew
Which Jesus do you follow? Which Jesus do you serve? If Ephesians says to imitate Christ Then why do you look so much like the world?
Cause my Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and liars He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant So which one do you want to be?
Blessed are the poor in spirit Or do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand
Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars He loved the poor and accosted the rich So which one do you want to be?
Who is this that you follow This picture of the American dream If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side or fall down and worship at His holy feet
Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins But the Word says He was battered and scarred Or did you miss that part Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him
Cause my Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and the least of these He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable So which one do you want to be?
Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church The blood and dirt on His feet would stain the carpet But He reaches for the hurting and despised the proud I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud
I want to be like my Jesus! I want to be like my Jesus!
Not a posterchild for American prosperity, but like my Jesus You see I'm tired of living for success and popularity I want to be like my Jesus but I'm not sure what that means to be like You Jesus Cause You said to live like You, love like You but then You died for me Can I be like You Jesus? I want to be like my Jesus
November 18, 2007 Wanted: Friends. Must be Christian, female, and like shopping at Wal-Mart.
Qualifications: Being obsessed with clothes, especially shoes. Being crazy is not absolutely required, but would be a definite asset. (If you're not actually crazy, being able to fake craziness is a convincing manner will earn you bonus points.)
Duties: Must nag Amy into eating leafy green vegetables, visit her while working at Taco Bell and order Quesadillas at the drive though window, smuggle shoes out of her closet and donate them to the poor and needy, and sit on her every time she gets all dreamy-eyed over a completely jerky guy until the feeling passes.
Benefits: If you are very good, then Amy will burp into the telephone as loudly as she can while talking to you. (If you are bad, she will sing to you.)
If you are interested, apply to Amy. Amy is an equal opportunity friend, but preference will be given to people who live within driving distance. Jerky guys need not apply.

The thing I find really cool about Amy is that, even when she's got all kinds of people setting her a bad example, when she's got an important decision to make, she asks herself, "What would Jesus want me to do?" And then does it.
