Random Thoughts.

I'm ridiculously in love with an amazing man who continually reveals Christ to me on a daily basis. 

I want to be in Haiti. Beyond what I can explain.

I've been having RIDICULOUS dreams lately. 

Two weeks left of school... seems so far away. I'm ready to be done with projects and lesson plans. 

I'm currently writing this to avoid homework because I can't seem to focus. Go figure. 

I have the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. 

As stressful as my life can get, it's beyond amazing :) 




Basically, the Lord is taking me on some crazy journeys and I'm perfectly alright with it even if it's hard, easy, beautiful, exciting, difficult, challenging, etc. Count me in!

I'm so excited to see where this road will lead and what the Lord has in store.
This is my favorite place in West Palm Beach. Absolute favorite. Everything about it screams beauty and I wish I could sit here forever just soaking in the beauty, reading the Word, and spending time with Matt. Love love love love love.

Date Night.

Matt and I went on a date Friday night. 
It was wonderful :) 

Here are a few pictures to explain the night.

We had dinner at City Place :) It's decorated for Christmas. I love it.

Then we went putt putting :)





And then we walked around the beach :) It was a great night

Basically.

I want to blog.

But my computer hates me.

Maybe one day soon I'll post again.

Here's the Deal....

My hard-drive crashed.

All my photographs are gone.

All my homework is gone.

Everything, all the programs, every little detail that made my computer "mine" is gone.

My computer=blank slate.

No Microsoft Word, no Skype, no Itunes, no Photoshop. Gone. Gone Gone.

It's been the most draining week of my life.

But

I'm thankful for a supportive mom who always knows just what to say.

I'm thankful for a loving boyfriend who shows me love and grace when I dont deserve it.

and I'm thankful for sweet friends who understand my business and love me regardless.

Now...

If only I can keep my eyes dry for more than one day we'll be all set :)

Teaching is Funny.

I wore a cute striped skirt to teach reading to third graders today. Here is a question one of my students asked me:

"Ms. Amanda, why do you look like a prisoner in that skirt?"

Hahahahah!

These kids are hilarious! :) Gotta love 'em.

Perhaps.

Watch this video. Truth.


Perhaps then its fair to say, that when we ignore the prosituted child,
that we actually lend our hand to their abuse.
That when we ignore the widow and the orphan in their distress,
that we actually add to their pain.
When we ignore the slave who remains captive
that it’s us who is entrapping them.
When we forget the refugee,
that it is us who is displacing them
When we choose not to help the poor and the needy
that we actually rob them.
Perhaps the only fair thing to say,
is that when we forsake the lives of others
we actually forsake our own.
