I'm just so so so in awe of this awesome God. I can't even begin to tell you how faithful He is! I looked over my old journals & they are just filled with stories of His faithfulness.
He really does use to illequipped, the timid, the scared. That has been me as long as I can remember. All those things. But He took me out of darkness & into light & has made something beautiful out of brokenness.

Music - forever this has been my biggest dream...and my biggest fear. I can't tell you how hard it's been to surrender both the dream and the fear. But ever since I've been at the Honor Academy, He's been using it. I've been apart of a program called The School of Worship. I've been taking vocal & songwriting classes & even get an opportunity to record my songs in a studio! He has been so faithful! I've been placed into a band where we lead worship in the Prayer Room on campus. And I am just so amazed at answered prayer. I love this! I love that I'm learning to trust Him in my fears & praise him for placing the dream inside me.
I know this is part of my calling, but He is still revealing the details to me.
But the area I've see Satan attack the most is in my identity. He knows that my effectiveness for Christ is hindered if I am not confident in Him, if I do not know who I am. I'm still learning this. Self image is a big one. I can't tell you the battle I've gone through regarding identity.
This journey is so full of amazing things. I'm so thankful He has me on the road I'm on. Can't wait for what He has next...
"He has made all things beautiful in its time." Ecc. 3:11

This is a beautiful post, Amber! God IS so faithful. Truly He is so good, and this post really encouraged me. Keep listening to that still small voice.

-Amber-! =) Miss you & love you! I'm so sorry we sort of slipped apart! I've thought of you & prayed for you, too, dear sister of mine. This past few months were some of the hardest in my life, but God brought me through. Now, I'm on the other side & uncertain of where to go next, but working on continually trusting Him. When has He failed? Never. So proud of you facing your musical fears & sharing that gift of yours! Recording in a studio?! That's crazy amazing for a once too shy to sing a note in front of a soul! =) You are amazing & I thank God He is blessing you... even through the challenges.
Love ya to wherever it is you are {TX, right?} & back!
