Allow me to introduce you

Here is one of the people that makes me cry every time I see her, but in an extremely good way! Cortney, used to be Shea, now Atchley, and I met when we worked together at Scheel's. Oh, my gosh I can still remember Cindy freaking out in the back freight room, and the towers of unopened boxes of products yet to be entered into the system! And Trevor always broke the rules, on everything! So, one day I invited her to church, or maybe Gen church (don't remember), and she came! And, kept coming. And, then, she got saved! I remember the pain that she went through with her ex (she can tell you that), and her sweet, amazing heart towards him through it all! She totally impressed me and still does. Now, she is the mommy of an adorable, little man who probably speaks better than me, and married to a Godly man who loves her, well, adores her! And, today, I found her blog, and guess what? I started crying! HA! imagine that!
Cortney, I love you so much, and am so blessed that God has brought you into my life, even though the times of togetherness are very far in between! Now I get to see more of your life, Fingerpaint queen!

You are so amazing Amber! I just love you! Thank you for your praises, but believe me, if it wasn't for God, I don't know how I would've survived and still do. It is daily that I have to go to my Father for peace, strength and to be replenished!!!I have to say that ever since Colton went to his Dad's in Colorado (April to July- sad) I have really felt lost and not sure what to do with myself. I have been so spiritually dried up and didn't even realize it. Connecting with you all has really brightened and refreshed me! I love you all!
