Those who followed my other blog know the last several years have been full of curve balls: I’ve journeyed to become a full-time missionary/church planter in Japan only to stay in the US. I’ve traveled to Asia, Europe, and Africa, sharing truth about Love, Grace and the one True God; I’ve leaped through the high places and stumbled through the lower, rockier times; I’ve even wandered into the wilderness a few times in between. I tend to be open, honest, and vulnerable…especially through what I write.
I’m a lover of people…all kinds. I’m quiet yet verbose. I’m pretty adventurous and am willing to try just about anything. In the summer I love to do anything with water and in the winter it’s all about skiing. I have a motorcycle - I like to ride it. I crash weddings just so I can dance at them. I love music…all kinds. When I had a yard, I loved to sleep outside in my hammock – staring at the stars and talking to God until I finally dozed off (weather permitting this, of course!).
If I have to be inside…it better be with a cup of hot coffee/tea with a good book, journal or my bible. I consider that my “retreat”. My favorite thing is to find a big cushy chair reading, writing, or catching up with friends.
I’m stubborn, honest, passionate, caring, vulnerable, and faithful…I’m also a hopeless romantic of sorts.
I’m not a “social butterfly” and would much rather go deep with a few people than to stay on the surface with many. I pay attention and have compassion on those who are often overlooked.
I believe that we needn’t look far to discover the fingerprints of God, but rather we are far too busy to ever really notice.
I love the feeling of freedom, and believe that when we truly embrace it, we’ll never want to let go.
More recently I’ve been learning the beautiful & difficult divine reality of being part of a community establishing a new expression of Church in my city (ie. a “church plant”).
I’m just a girl. A pilgrim…trying to navigate the life God has before me…I don’t always know where I’m going, but I go forward with His hand in mine…this blog is my attempt to bring others along as well. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by the ride!
A few personal dreams…
1. Write a Book
2. Get married
3. Have a family of my own
4. Buy a dog and a horse
5. Retire from engineering
6. Get a masters
Can I subscribe to this blog Amy? I tried pressing the button and the next screen was a mess of computer language. I like hearing how you are doing. Your friend, Christina
Christina, I don’t know. I think you should be able to do that…but I don’t know how to do that. I’ll see if I can figure it out.
Just a note to say how much I enjoy your blog. It’s an inspiration to read your posts and how honest and open you are in your writing. Your blog is a great stop for all of us looking to have a closer relationship with God.
God bless !
Hey Amy, I think I stumbled onto this About page once before… one of your comments on Bill’s blog no doubt peaked my interest. I love your heart and your 6 dreams! I still need to write that book and I need to retire from IT and being my second career as … something else.
I’ve added wingfiea to my RSS.
