Hi! I’m Amanda

Welcome to my blog. In this space I hope to share with you what I have learned on my lifetime spiritual journey over these, um, 40... something years. I was not raised as a Christian (or with any religion for that matter) but rather encouraged by my single mother to learn about and develop my own beliefs on the subject of faith and religion. 

On that journey I read about and sampled many philosophies and religious ideas such as New Age, Paganism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Universal Unitarianism, and the always ever present, in America at least, Christianity. 

I have always been drawn toward Jesus Christ, ever since my first time seeing him on a replica of the crucifix at a very young age. It is Jesus and His Father that my heart has yearned for in all my searching, but it was many of those that call themselves Christian that repelled me and kept me looking elsewhere for too many years. We are all imperfect and we are not here to follow or imitate other humans, whether they call themselves Christian or not, but rather have a personal relationship and follow Jesus Christ.

Needless to say, I did not find the wholeness, love and comfort anywhere else but in The New Testament Gospels...and even more of an applied understanding within the Epistles. 

This blog is written to inspire others in a few areas that I have found to be holistic on my spiritual and faith journey, with Jesus as my focal point - my 'True North.' It is not a blog for arguing. I am not trying to convince anyone nor will I be convinced by anyone other than The Holy Spirit that guides me. I am here to spread the Love that created us and Loves us more than we can even comprehend. It is my hope that you, too, will be inspired to a better life and spread this love as well. May the peace that surpasses understanding be with you always.
