A song [ you will HAVE to forgive the guitar playing] for the ones we have lost. Scott Estes, a chord was struck in me when I read of your accident and story... and I felt like I couldn't keep quiet. Like, whoever needed to hear this song [ that I probably would have just kept to myself] needed to hear it. As a quiet exclamation that there is hope. I am now relieved to get it out. Until I did... I was feeling a bit restless. Then I thought of all the other people who are feeling hopeless...and how my voice today can sing over you what I feel the Holy Spirit wanted to breathe.
but, you will HAVE to forgive the guitar playing...

I stand in VICTORY tonite...
I stand in victory tonight.
Facing a CT scan tomorrow afternoon to make sure that my neck discs were not broken or damaged in my accident.
I feel like all I have been thinking about, talking about, expressing is about my neck...
but I came to this very real realization today, and that is this:
I only get one neck.
Profound right?
But, also came to this realization as well. This freak accident that was so untimely and severely inconveniencing to me has hurt me emotionally and physically. I fully believe that the circumstance [really out of my control] was also a way for the enemy to come and try to dismantle me. A cunning way for him to say- “now you’ll stop”... and I think the worst way to respond, in any of the situation we face in life, is to say, “you are right.”
Like, we can’t let him win. he is too freakin’ stupid for that crap.
So while, I am still struggling to get my voice back/still living with crazy tight and strained neck muscles/still having persisting neck pains/still feeling the weight of the financial burden that may lie ahead of me...
I stand in victory tonight.
Right now, my first thought is that my health is of number one importance, so the road that I may need to walk could land me in a bit of a financial slump because this simply... was not planned with the funds that got me here to Australia...
Tonight, I ask that you pray for wisdom in the road to recovery and that God’s best would be shown. He knows me pretty well, so I’m cool with letting Him show me. And He knows that I only get one neck too... which makes me at peace. And He knows my future...
I may be thinking of creative ways to earn some money in the near future...and if you have any ideas. you just let me know...
Love,
Amanda
