even if to just write upon my heart; i know that you've come now.

Dearest Blog Readers,

well, it has been a whole entire year since I left for Australia.
what a full year it has been. Sometimes not even enough time in the day to get everything done... so, blogging has taken a back seat. Apologies.

so many things are different in me. in all the best ways possible.

I really believe that LIFE is only getting better from here.
so excited to see what is next on this journey of life.

I have learned such a valuable lesson of living life with no regrets.
I don't have to rush life, it just happens. God is never late...
I have learned the importance of being intentional, passionate, planning things out [massive step for me], goals, practicing, and spending time in the Word of God... it really is the only way we are going to make it out alive.
I used to get bogged down about what i should be doing, and not what i was actually doing...but, my focus has slowly shifted to just being satisfied with what my hands are doing in every season.


God isn't as interested about my comfort as much as he is interested in my character...

I still have these massive dreams that I can't seem to shake, but my conviction for the seasons and journey of my life is greater. God is building a home, a place that He is quite comfortable in... and there is still a world that needs to hear about WORSHIP and JUSTICE.

So I'm not done.
[Even though I have wanted to quit life more this year than ever in my life.]
God's not done.

As for the next season...

Not quite sure.
Exciting days ahead.

Thank you so much for all the prayers you have prayed over me this year. I took this massive faith step coming to a different country...and have felt supported every step of the way. I am so grateful for my family and friends who have had such an amazing impact on my life. I am forever indebted. At the end of the day everyone needs someone to believe in them... and I am so blessed to have people that believe in me. Please be praying for the next steps I need to make. And that the resources to make these decisions would be made known...

xoxo with my WHOLE heart,

Amanda Blackwell
