Amber's Journey - Silence isn't golden

I have often been told that I am “Too Nice.”  I disagree.  Having the ability to walk away from a fight does not mean that I am nice, nor does it mean that my heart is where it should be.
This week, it is my goal to awaken every morning with a Thankful Heart.  God has been so good to me and I don’t thank Him nearly enough.  I am also praying that God would help me to see the needs of the hurting and be able to speak life into people.  Walking away from a fight might make someone think twice, but if we speak curses in our minds and not pray for them, what’s the point?  I am also praying that God changes my heart.  If put in a negative situation, I want to be able to speak openly and honestly to the person out of love… NOT Sarcasm.
When you are cussed out by a stranger at a gas station, or someone cuts in front of you in the grocery isle, it’s not easy to speak out of love.  I am good at walking away, but I need to be better at speaking out and praying for the hurting people around me.
Psalms 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Amber's Journey - January 7, 2013

I am not sure if this will work the way I want it too, but we shall begin regardless!

My name is Amber and I am on a journey. My life's journey has and many ups and downs as well as twists and turns.  Currently, I am focussing on drawing closer to God, encouraging my son to feel safe and secure, and getting my personal health from deteriorating to thriving!

I have decided that I want to share my experiences, ideas, sucesses, and even the failures openly.  Maybe you will be able to relate, maybe you will be encouraged, or maybe you will be inspired.  Regardless, if you are up to following my posts, you'll be in for a fun and wild ride!
