Beauty from Ashes: November 2013
http://amandanally.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. I have often said that I find God in the changing of the seasons. I see the correlations between the seasons of our lives and the earthly seasons. For this reason I am so glad to live in a place that has such beautiful season changes. Today as I looked out on the final beautiful leaves that are lingering, I recognize that again with the seasons, the Nally family again is entering a new season. We have lots going on that we haven’t shared with many just yet (And, no,. If you k...

Beauty from Ashes: May 2014
http://amandanally.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. I Get To Be The One. My sweet Sarah,. From the start you were a fighter. You had your own schedule. You were your own person. You were determined. You were aware. These same qualities still hold true today. It's amazing to watch you grow and, even more fascinating to see the ways you stay the same. Through every season of life your tenacity, confidence and courage shine through. My love, you are such a joy and a blessing. I wouldn't trade any moment that I have been able to sp...

Beauty from Ashes: September 2014
http://amandanally.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 19, 2014. I've always wanted to keep this blog a place of honesty and transparency. So I'm going to be honest - this past week has be rough. Jim was out of town for most of it, which left me on "full time mom, full time employee and full time baby incubator" mode which left little room for any time to really REST. In spite of this frustrating puzzle, God has been whispering lessons in my ear through all of it. "Trust and obey." Sounds pretty simple, right? It makes me question moments i...

Beauty from Ashes: Counting Stars
http://amandanally.blogspot.com/2014/12/counting-stars.html
Friday, December 12, 2014. I have been hard on myself recently thinking that I should have written this update sooner, but then I take a breath and remember all the good moments of the last few weeks and am glad that I took time to REST. The last, well, month and a half has been a whirlwind of celebrating Judah's arrival with family and friends. We have had sickness and trials, but through it all, life has been FULL. Full of joy, full of moments to be thankful. Too many to really name. August 18, 2014.

Beauty from Ashes: In My Arms
http://amandanally.blogspot.com/2014/11/in-my-arms.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. Since the day we found out our official due date, I've had an invisible red circle around October 29 - the 30 week mark - in my planner. While I've been determined to have a healthy pregnancy this time around, there was always a little part of me wondering if we'd make it this far. We have entered uncharted waters. With Sarah I didn't really get to have a third trimester. Your baby blues, so full of wonder. Your curly cues, your contagious smile. All I can do, is hold you tight.

Beauty from Ashes: March 2015

Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Spring is finally HERE! I am so HAPPY! Monday we reached a high of 80. That's EIGHTY degrees. I knew it was going to be a beautiful day, but boy the van was actually HOT when I got in that afternoon. Glory. This week, I FINALLY decided to make a wreath, and I'm super happy with out it turned out. This project took me about $10 for the materials and less than 5 minutes to assemble. How easy is that? Here's a list of supplies and instructions if you want to make one yourself.
