I'm not sure what the lesson(s) is in all this yet, but I have great faith that it will be revealed eventually. Whatever it is, whatever I need to learn, I'm open and receptive.

Underdogs. Resilience. Choice.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, January 3, 2023  •   Leave a Comment
I admire people who make come backs after huge losses. I admire people who went through some seemingly impossible-to-survive storm then used that storm as motivation to grow and get better. I admire people who have suffered yet somehow managed to keep their faith strong...

The Faith-Fear Seesaw

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, June 29, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
