Holy Cow......My Dream Came True...

Hello Friends!

I am here to say that dreams really do come true and GOD hears and answers prayers.

As of June 21, 2011 I am the owner of a beautiful metallic blue MUSTANG!

I could  not be a happier girl!

I have the praise story to go along with this pic filled note but that will come in a few moments!

It's May, Summer is Almost Here, Fisher Will be Gone Soon, and I am Living 1 Day at a Time?

Guilty!

Yes, I think about many things. I try to work it all out in my brain before it even happens. Do I learn from the stress it causes me? NO! I am stubborn! haha

I say these things to be real. I have alot of things to look forward to but at the same time, it's almost bittersweet because when one things comes, another goes.

Praise God I have Him working it out from beginning to end when I try on my own and FAIL miserably.

Here are just a few things to expound on!

I am currently working in the last 5 days of the 2010-2011 school year and it is bittersweet. I am going to miss my 4yr olds. I almost started crying today at carpool as I unloaded the sweet babies for some of the last times. Daily parents keep telling me that their children will be gone the last week of school. (We are usually out for the summer by now so they have already planned vacations and camps and are deciding to pull them out early.) Thus making our class even smaller and making me cherish the few more days I have left with the little friends

Summer is going to be interesting. Many trips back and forth between home and here. Lord, I am going to pray for the gas prices to FALL drastically now~! haha

It is going to be full of fun, interesting, sunkissed, skinny, water-parky, wedding planny, SING-y , family days and I look forward to every bit of it!

Then there is Fisher. He is my 2yr old boyfriend and pretty much the only person that calls me Amby now. My family and I took turns watching him this year and we have found out quite recently that his family will be moving in a few weeks. I didn't realize how much I loved that little boy and how much he loved me until last night. He saw me and said, "Amby....." My heart melted. He latched onto me and even posed for some pictures that I will be using to make a going away gift for his momma and him one day.

I just cried last night as I got ready for bed and thanked God for this precious baby. He has done something to me and I praise the Lord for his little life. He has helped me to remember to be like a chid. Ask my mom....she thinks I'm doing a great job being like a child...haha j/k. I love you mom.

All in all, God is good. I am alive. I am thankful. I am BLESSED.

Be free to love and live my friends!
I love you all!
Amber

If I had a facebook...

If I had a facebook, my status would read, " I just don't understand low riders."

I was sitting at a light earlier today and a low rider was in front of me. Suddenly it began to rise into the air and what made me notice it was not what you would think, it was the loud clang of the parts used to make it hydraulic.


I just laughed as it rose and fell before my eyes and thought to myself, " I just don't understand low riders."

If I had a facebook my next status would read, " I miss Casey..."

BUT

I don't have one and it's better that way!

Love and Blessings~

A Cause To Be Thankful...

When  I think about God, there is one single thought that follows His sweet remembrance...

" Father, I should be so thankful."

It never fails. At the moment I begin to question something or think about how sad something in my life is...His great love always trumps my stubborn mind game.

You see, nothing in the world should be so great that I long for it the way that I do.

Nothing should supersede the only relationship that never fails.

No person, place, or thing should have sway over me because I am the daughter of  a King...yet I forget that all the time.

He is a choice. A life changing force. He is my voice. He is not a figment. He is truth personified. He is the way, the only way to freedom we have never tasted.

What beauty this God of wonder is. What mercy He gives...constantly.

Today I awoke and began to feel the sting of the enemies past-tainted darts.
I could choose to let him hit me, and let the poison penetrate my restored heart.
I could choose that.

However, I choose my King's song. I choose the song of a fighter who gave until His last breathe.
New hope has sprung from the blood covered earth. New life is meant to be lived.
He gave all, so I could finally live.

I love you Father.
Yours,
Amber

Arms Wide Open

What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been pondering
“What does love look like?”
“What does love look like?” is the question I’ve been asking of You

I once believed that love was romance, just a chance
I even thought that love was for the lucky and the beautiful
I once believed that love was a momentary bliss
But love is more than this
All You ever wanted was my attention
All You ever wanted was love from me
All You ever wanted was my affections, to sit here at Your feet

Then I sat down, a little frustrated and confused
If all of life comes down to love
Then love has to be more than sentiment
More than selfishness and selfish gain

And then I saw Him there, hanging on a tree, looking at me
I saw Him there, hanging on a tree, looking at me
He was looking at me, looking at Him, staring through me
I could not escape those beautiful eyes
And I began to weep and weep

He had arms wide open, a heart exposed
Arms wide open; He was bleeding, bleeding

Love’s definition, love’s definition was looking at me
Looking at Him, hanging on a tree
I began to weep and weep and weep and weep

This is how I know what love is, this is how I know what love is

And as I sat there weeping, crying
Those beautiful eyes, full of desire and love

He said to me, “You shall love Me, You shall love Me
You shall love Me, You shall love Me”

With arms wide open, a heart exposed
With arms wide open, bleeding, sometimes bleeding

If anybody’s looking for love in all the wrong places
If you’ve been searching for love, come to Me, come to Me
Take up your cross, deny yourself
Forget your father’s house and run, run with Me
You were made for abandonment, wholeheartedness
You were made for someone greater, someone bigger, so follow Me
And You’ll come alive when you learn to die

He has given His son so we may live...

Thank You God...I Love You.
