Autumn Sky Smiling: 03/01/2006 - 04/01/2006
http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 29, 2006. In His service, for His purposes, and to His praise. I have been reading Acts the past few weeks, and I think what is overwhelming me about this trip is the fact that I'm going to be treading the ground where my early brethren lived and died for Christ; where they were visited and ministered to in person. By Paul, receiving his letters and living by them - the same letters that I read and live by. In His service, for His purposes, and to His praise,. Posted by Amanda @ 2:43 PM.

Autumn Sky Smiling: Sweet manifestations of God's immeasurable goodness.
http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2006/12/sweet-manifestations-of-gods.html
Monday, December 18, 2006. Sweet manifestations of God's immeasurable goodness. I never would have dreamed that this year's Christmas season could be so "other" from last year's. Funny that the hardest year should be followed by the sweetest. I watched the Nativity. This is our God. Wow. My mom loves him, but she hasn't verbally shared why beyond saying that he's nice and "so cute.". Anyway, he is quality and so much fun. A story-teller and entertainer. He's a magnet for kids and can't wait to be...Yeste...

Tuesday, December 19, 2006. I see in my mom evidence of the Lord working. It seems this coming year will see her back in her Father's house and worshipping. There are so many pieces that fit into God's dealings with us. She asked how Derek and I relate spiritually - do we pray together? What does that look like? And we're studying Ephesians together - what is Ephesians about? Posted by Amanda @ 8:49 PM. At 12/24/2006 6:17 PM. Merry Christmas, Pippi! At 1/05/2007 10:14 PM. Fisherofmen matt 4 19. Matthew -...

http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2007/04/wandering-thoughts-inspired-by-obriens.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2007. Wandering thoughts inspired by O'Brien's commentary on Ephesians. He writes of marriage as a pledge of God's purposes for the unity of the cosmos. Pledge: n. something delivered as security for the fulfillment of a promise. Marriage as God's visible promise to us of how He will unite the two realms - heavenlies and earthly things (Christ and Church; husband and wife). So we look at marriage and see how God intends to unite all in Himself. Jonah in the fish. Any thoughts on this?

http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2007/02/moments-passing-recollections-and.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. A moment's passing recollections and reflections before I get dressed for church. I've been journalling with pen and notebook for the past few months moreso than typing - at some point I hope to share excerpts - notebooks travel far easier than this ol' computer, and so I haven't used it much. Derek and I have a shared heart for our families - the Lord has just been so GOOD in this. Posted by Amanda @ 6:49 AM. At 2/27/2007 5:22 PM. Fisherofmen matt 4 19. I'm a fairly new wife a...

Autumn Sky Smiling: Wedding Plans
http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2007/03/wedding-plans.html
Sunday, March 25, 2007. So WOW - it has been a busy recent! Thankfully, wedding arrangements are coming together well and are almost complete (at least the major things). Our wedding day will be a neat example of the church truly working as a body - so many of the brethren have offered their gifts and time. A friend from church will make the cake for us (her husband volunteered her. :) I'll ask her about it today. My mom will take the photographs, and we'll hire an assistant for her (possibly a student f...

Wednesday, January 10, 2007. This is such a neat moment in life: watching things come together. All those pieces that hadn't yet been all present now make themselves known; how they fit is preciously designed by my loving Father. Posted by Amanda @ 10:49 PM. At 1/11/2007 5:34 PM.

Autumn Sky Smiling: I'm Getting Married! :D
http://autumnskysmiling.blogspot.com/2007/03/im-getting-married-d.html
Sunday, March 11, 2007. We went for a hike in the White Mountains today. At the end of the trail I stood enjoying the view of snowy peaks beyond the frozen pond we had walked out onto. Derek was behind me, and whispered, "Amanda B ;" I turned around, and he was on his knees. We're looking at the last weekend in August or first of September. Can you even believe it? Posted by Amanda @ 12:27 AM. At 3/11/2007 10:25 AM. Blessings to you and to your forthcoming union! At 4/26/2007 3:41 PM. Men With Legs - thr...

Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Have you ever looked at your life and wondered at the abundance of goodness God has lavished and just continues to lavish? I know that sentence is redundant. September 1st, 2007 will be the day of the gladness of my heart. Praise God. Posted by Amanda @ 11:34 PM. New England, United States. I'm a fairly new wife and very new mom, trying to live a life "worthy of the calling with which I've been called" and having fun just about every step of the way. :). View my complete profile.
