Seasons

Posted on October 6, 2020October 8, 2020 by Amanda Fillebrown

I love October. It is my favorite month of the year. It signals the arrival of Fall – my favorite season. I love the changing colors of the trees and the reds and oranges that fill the landscape. I enjoy the sound of leaves crunching under my feet and the cool, crispness of the air….

Posted on September 22, 2020July 5, 2021 by Amanda Fillebrown

Here it is the middle of September and this is my first post of the year. I don’t have to tell you how crazy this year has been. About 6 months ago, COVID-19 hit and turned all of our worlds upside down. Back in March, everyone in my organization was sent to work from home….

Losing someone you love is hard. It effects every part of you – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Why Are You So Afraid?

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Amanda Fillebrown

I love being around water.  I grew up in Southern Indiana which is separated from Louisville, Kentucky by the Ohio River.  My dad worked on the river when I was a kid, so the water is present in a most of my memories from childhood. The river is usually calm and still.  You can see…

The God of Hope

Posted on August 19, 2018 by Amanda Fillebrown

Our church had a community worship night a couple of weeks ago. I love worship. It is one of my most favorite things. If you have ever had to sit next to me during church or a concert or gone on a road trip with me, then you know that I love to sing. You…

The blog has been silent for a while. I apologize for that. Life has been rather busy lately, and I have been trying to adjust to lots of changes! I had a job change. We bought a house! I have also been dealing with an issue with my arm – I have been saving my…

Out of Control

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Amanda Fillebrown

I have a confession to make. I am a control freak.   If you know me well then this confession comes as no surprise to you. However, it’s hard for me to admit it. I like to think that I have faith and trust in God completely, but my unwillingness to loosen my tight grip on…

Football and Faith

Posted on February 12, 2017 by Amanda Fillebrown

I am going to share a secret with you. I don’t really like sports. I know—very un-American of me. It has nothing to do with the sports themselves or even the teams. I like to watch IU basketball and go to baseball games with my husband. The truth is, I don’t like the fans. Teams…
