Who am I?
I am amanda, saint of THE 1 God, wife to 1 husband, mother to 2 children. I identify myself as an artist.
We are a homeschooling family. We love to learn together. I’m not sure who is learning more, the students or the teachers, but we all love being together every day.
As a family, we also love to serve together. Last year, God brought us to VERONICA’s Voice to serve. We now have the joy of providing lunch each week for this group. My daughter wows them with her baking abilities. My son serinades them with his guitar and original music. They have become a part of our family whom we dearly love.
I am inspired by almost everything around me. I thrive on change and am deeply moved by good music (my definition of good). I love earthy things. I love old things. I love stories. I love paper and handwriting and good textured fabric. I love color.
Life has become a prayer to me. This blog is an extension of my prayer, my art, myself.

Your picture is so lovely! Is Veronica’s Voice a nationwide organization? (((((HUGS))))) sandi

VERONICA’s Voice is not nationwide, but there are like organizations in many major cities. I believe most of them have been started by women who have been victims of prostitution themselves. Their passion is to get others off the street.
And thanks for the picture compliment. My husband is an excellent photographer. I absolutely love your avatar. It is art.

Amanda,
I often find myself longing for true Christian women who have a heart for the Lord. You see, everyone here is a “Christian” because it is the social thing to do or generations (and I mean generations) have gone to the same church and place the first brick down of the Baptist on the square. Anyway…I ramble…but what I was going to say is that I found your blog after Jeff Adams’ blog this morning. KCBT website is our home page and we always scan it before checking email, etc. From his blog, I went to your blog, and your blessed my life today. I am off to read my Bible and enjoy a rainy Saturday with my family. And I am also going to Amazon.com and order The Hidden Art of Homemaking, too! Thank you! Kim
I am a former member of KCBT, and it is only based on geography that I am still not involved in that fabulous work the Lord has planted in KC. Now that I live in Texas, (a hum….the “Bible belt”

Correction to previous blog:
Why is it that no matter how many times you re-read something, those hidden mistakes always show up AFTER you post?!
That should read “yours” instead of “your blessed my life today.”

Your profile is great. Your statement “saint of the 1 God”, reminded me of the movie “One Night with the King”, when Queen Esther reveals her real name to the king and that she is also a Jew. She says “Hadassah, Jew, daughter of the most High God”. It is awesome and reverent to put it in those terms that we don’t hear often!

I’m new to WordPress (recently migrated over here from Blogger) and discovered your blog by accident. I guess there’s a feature that shows you who is posting about similar things as yourself and that’s how I found you. I too am a daughter of the King, a homeschooling mom, and love a lot of the same things you do. My name is Niki - it’s nice to meet you Amanda! I just wanted to say hello and thank you for doing your part to brighten up the web. I’ll look forward to stopping by here and reading what you have to say. Have a great day!

Hi Amanda!
In case you haven’t heard, Veronica’s Voice just launched a new website! I’m trying to get friends of the organization to update their links, so please send me an email when you get a chance, so we can discuss. Thank you for your continued support!
