Even though I'm a memory now and don't completely agree with the 110% motto, I still have to say thank you.

Thank you for the generous shout out Amber...you and your words mean so much to me! You are an incredible woman that I've loved and adored ever since God brought our funny-smack-talking-hallelur-Dog the Bounty Hunting-NCIS-picking on Dave-hearts together. SO proud that you're taking care of YOU too. You're too important to so many to forget about caring for you too...keep up the good work!

I love you oodles and am proud of the loving, kind-hearted, and compassionate woman that you contine to be.

Stay close to God as you continue your journey and know that you always have a home in VA. Just this afternoon, while driving in my hot ride, Cal asked, "When's Amber coming back home?" Jake chimed in with, "Yeah, when's she coming???"

I told them, "Dunno...but SOON!"

Love you LB,

I am sorry to hear that things have been rough- but I am happy to hear that your friends and family are giving you so much support.
You are right- alot of times we are so busy worrying about others that we tend to forget about ourselves-
and it is hard to ask for help but learning from "life" is never easy and sometimes it can bring about the biggest changes-
You have many angels surrounding you- I say you are indeed blessed.
Best wished and continued luck on your journey-
looking forward to contineud inspiration...

Hey... I was wondering where the inspiration went... lol well, it's good to see you back online- can't wait to hear your next blog!!

2010-07-20T10:53:10.145-07:00

and from within comes words of true wisdom and life itself-
Everyone has qualities that make them "them"- and for each of us, these qualities are different in so many ways- for it is what sets us apart from eachother and truely makes us individuals in everyway.
You are a most awesome indivudual with so much to share-
your journey has just begun and you are on your way to greatness- Good luck!!!
GREAT POST!!!
P.S- bugs are gross anyway- lol but bugs wiht big stingers are REALLY gross!!! :)

Somone once said that the only one who can hold you back from all that you dream- is yourself-
We all have big dreams but it is within ourselves where they truley do come true- and if we truley believe within ourselves- then really the sky is the limit and ANTHING IS TRULEY POSSIBLE!!!
As far as being strong enough- never doubt the strength within - for you are far more stronger than you have ever thought possible and within that strength lies a fighter that will always succeed.
Once again, I thank you for your inspirational words of wisdom- for they have most defenitley been heard and cherished among so many.
So again, thank you.
I wish you continued luck on your journey- for the best of the best lies ahead of you- and you are worth all of it.

This was in my devotion today and smiled thinking of you, your "Journey" blog and life, "By sharing our journey, we are sharing hope. And we know firsthand that hope keeps us all moving forward."

Grateful that you're safe and sound and praying your deliously over tired and puppy bit butt is getting a power nap! LOVE YOU!

2010-07-06T18:53:35.949-07:00

This was a fantastic post Amber! It took me a long time and much soul searching to arrive at "Who am I?" which today I can best capture as, forgiven and loved by God.

Love you bunches, keep on writin' litle buddy!

2010-06-27T10:31:47.544-07:00

How truley blessed we are sometimes, even when we really don't even realize it and what a blessing to have found the family, once lost, now together, always and forever withstanding.
It sounds like it was an AWESOME trip- you truley are blessed to have seen the things that you did- for not many people get to see those types of things.
Congrats on your new place, it always takes time to "Settle" in wherever you are, but everyone is strong in their own ways and it will all happen in your time as well as "his".
Your puppy is adorable- I'm sure she is the light of your life as well as object of your frustration (much like children)- but with patience, we learn that even the biggest frustrations can be over come.
As for staying AZ, my only advice is to follow your heart and you can never go wrong but only time will be able to tell you that.
Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it."
Ezra 10:4
and trust that no matter what, your strength is always there to do whatever lies within your heart to do.

2010-06-25T16:47:16.581-07:00

Many people have been in your shoes and to some extent are still living in them every day. You hold a most awesome example for so many people who are confused and unsure of themselves and where thier lives go as far as living an "alternate lifestyle". You say the words within your heart very well. You are right, so many times we are told that we are "wrong" for living the lives that we do, when in all acuality, nothing is ever wrong if you truley are happy.
Keep up the great words of advice- you truley are a leader and an inspiration in so many ways.
Thank you for sharing your words of encouragement.

As always this was an awesome read. And as for "I'd rather be hated for who i am, then loved for who I am not." This is one of my favorite quotes. means so much to me and the person I am. Love you amber. Have a GREAT day.

I waited to post a comment until I could read this to the boys...

Jake says, (with a very big smile) "I liked it. When is she coming back? What day next fall? Can you bring your dog next time?!?"

Cal thinks Ziva rocks and still can't believe that, "HE'S ONLY FIVE AND HAS A LISCENSE PLATE!!" Oh yeah, that your Mii ROCKS THE HOUSE!

I'm grateful that you didn't quit...and I'm grateful that we have a lifetime to stay connected. God has such huge plans for your life Amber, you're so special and loved! And, I'm very proud of you! (And next time you come, we won't even make you make your bed...be we will probably have you fix the mower again, and the leak too!) :-)

Shoot Amber...we love you so much and can't wait until you get here!!!! The guys and I have been anticipating the fun...and Dave's been rehearsing his come backs...as if it'll help! True, the frogs haven't figured out a way to lock me out yet...but Mr. Frog (Cal just changed his name last week to Tails) looks like a clever one. Can't wait to see you fall madly in love with my phat mom-ride! ;-)

LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED!!!!

2010-02-21T19:30:45.992-08:00

Looking back, I've seen how God has used the sandpaper people in my life to smooth some very "rough edges" off me. I love how you wrote about them teaching patience and humility.

Love you Amber,but even more importantly - GOD LOVES YOU! Keep on writing!
