Preach it!

So I was asked a few weeks back to speak at a small youth service in my home town.
(Why I will never know.)
For frankly I really don't know what I am going to talk about. I feel like in the past most people have told a short testimony and therefore I think I am going to go that way too, but alas, my life has been rather easy and I really don't want to dwell on the crappy things of the past and I think it's best to speak about all the grand things that the Lord is doing in my life.
Here's hoping that reaches someone.
Much love and a loss for words-- Amy

I wasn't looking for this; but now it's in my way...

Well we are officially done our second week of camp and what a whirlwind it has been.  I'm not going to lie that it doesn't exaclty feel like camp for me.  Maybe it's that I'm in the office and not fully connecting with the kids in a typical camp fashion.  But I'm enjoying myself for the most part nonetheless. My goal this summer is to connect with one camper a week on some sort of extra special level.  So far I'm succeeding. During junior high one; I was on stage singing in Q-Town and there was this girl right up front.  She was wearing a t-shirt that said "Ya'll need Jesus" and I was like I NEED TO KNOW THIS CHILD! She was dancing away and singing her heart out and it was just so lovely.  I sneakily asked her cabin counsellor what her name was and decided to write her a letter for mail time the next day.  I just wrote how much she encouraged me with her free worship and her bright smile.  She then found me later in the week and said how muc...

Happy 3rd birthday to me!!!

I know, I know, blast from the past right? But I felt like today was a momentous occasion worthy of blogging up. So; here goes! When people tell me that I act like a toddler I tell them it's because I'm really only 3 years old.  You see, 3 years ago I stood in front of roughly 150 teenagers, 50 or so staff, and a few cherished family and friends;  at my second home Camp Imadene; and said "Yes" to 2 very important questions: Is Jesus your Lord and Savior, and do you want to follow him for the rest of your life.  After an ecstatic YUP! I grabbed on tight to the two lovely people on either side of me and went under the lovely Mesachie Lake water and arose a new being. So since I've experienced this "new birth" I am only 3 years of age. Hence the toddler stage joke. I read a quote once that said something along the lines of   “Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different...” Good Ol C.S. Lewis, ...

In the waiting; you're making melodies

It all started with a visit to the bathroom... and I didn't even have to go! Okay; hi folks; I know that probably isn't what you expected for a start of my first little ditty in two years but it's what you get. Deal with it. Just like how you all have been waiting for me to return to the blogosphere; I have been living in a season of waiting, and more waiting, followed by more waiting, some patience, and at long last, still waiting. I arrived home from a trip to the Holy Land two weeks ago and life has been annoyingly not the same ever since. By the Holy Land; I mean Redding, California. A place like no other. A town where the presence of the Lord is so evident you can't help but feel like you've seen a glimpse of heaven. Yes there is apparent hurt and homelessness and poverty; but it is beautifully contrasted by a group of people gathering to pray in coffee shops; people willingly stopping you on the street to give you a word from the Lord. It's dusted ...
