Overwhelm. Mighty. Juice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, February 23, 2022  •   2 Comments
This past week was overwhelming, to say the least, but we pushed through. God IS mighty, and after I stopped feeling all sad and ridiculous, remembered that He is indeed mightier than my “overwhelm”, and turned up the Prayer/Warrior/Praise Juice…it all came together. It sure...

Sorry I’m Late…

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, December 15, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
“Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to come.” Have y’all seen that? It’s how I’ve been feeling about TILTs and posting until I can get this week behind me. Whew! I bought myself this book to start next week, but I couldn’t wait. I’m about...

Counting The Minutes

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, December 13, 2021  •   1 Comment
I’m tired. Really tired. Are y’all? I never want to wish my life away at all, and I try not to want time to hurry up, but I’m ready for this break. There will be no girlbossing starting Friday. I anticipate only girlresting, girlreading, and...

It’s more than just coffee!

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, October 5, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
When I come into the kitchen in the morning, my coffee is already made. Keith fixes up the pot while he makes his espresso in his machine. Although sort of a tiny thing, it feels peaceful. I feel loved. The day to come may be...

Vulnerability Is Terrifying

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, October 4, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
“Vulnerability is terrifying.” That was the first line of a meme I saw this morning. So true. To be authentic takes vulnerability, and because it truly is terrifying to put yourself out there, that may explain why people don’t seem very “real” these days. They’re...

Different. Nice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 8, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
We can be different if you’re nice. If you’re nice, we can be friends. If we are friends, you can expect my loyalty, grace, and support. We can be different if you’re not nice. If you’re not nice, we can’t be friends. If we are...

Leave A Bottle Day… Let’s go!

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, September 2, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
In case you didn’t know, you need to hit the road. It’s national “Leave A Bottle of Wine on the Porch of a Friend Who’s Struggling Day”. 🍷 If you see it here on social media, it must be true, right? I mean “Daughter’s Day”...

Thankful today.

It’s a beautiful day, and I’m thankful for a whole lot of stuff. What about y’all? I’ve got coffee…and a few groceries. I think we’re having chili for supper, because I’ve got the stuff to make that. My hubs is the freaking cutest. He’s smart...

Things I Learned Today / Sunday, August 15, 2021

In Things I Learned Today  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 15, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
Things I learned today… I started to crochet a blanket last night, and I had forgotten how much I loved it. While I was yarning over and hooking and turning, I realized that a crocheted blanket is one continuous string of yarn that is continuously...

Opportunities, PTSD & Vikings: Day After Surgery

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, August 11, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
I remember thinking people would probably send carnations. We would probably receive a “Get Well Soon” flower delivery or two. Keith would wake up groggy and be in some pain. He would have sutures and a surgery wound to deal with, and he would be...
