My photo
Hello! My name Is Amanda. I am fourteen years old and I live and travel all over the world. I have been traveling the world since I was about eight years old, and I am going to continue to do so. I love learning new things and meeting new people. Living in Southern Asia has changed me from the inside out. I grew up in Alaska but I was born in Arkansas. So, moving to Asia from Alaska was deffinatly a HUGE change. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour and I will do everything in my power to bring as many people as I can to his Mighty name. I am a photographer. I love it. I truly believe it is a God given gift because I have never taken a class on photography ever in my life. I just learned on my own, and I am still learning. Thank you guy's for following my Blog. I hope you enjoy reading and looking at my pictures as much as I enjoy writing and taking pictures. Thank you all for your support. Much love, Amanda.

On the road, AGAIN!?

On the road again.

Oh lord. >.<
The joy's that come with being an M.K.
Well, I don't really know how to put this into words. Family problems. Nuff said. We need to be together again, because were falling apart. I need friggen' therapy. You know what sucks? The second things were going good here at home, and I Have to go get therapy. B-e-a-utiful. Well, I guess it's for the best. I want my family to be happy again. Like we were. And I guess the only true way to do that, is by getting some help from the people that send us to the feild. I have such a crazy life, and it's all for God... but where is he? Can't he hear me right now? I don't understand why the one time in my life i truly need God, and I can't feel him anywhere. Do you know how that feels? It's terrible. It's... scary. Im so scared right now, but I know... I don't know how, But somehow I know, everything's going to be okay.

Im Awake

Do you ever have those mornings when you wake up and just feel like sleeping all day and not getting up? :/ I tend to have those lots. My dog woke me up by licking my face, over and over and over. It was... gross. But It sure got me to wake up! I have tons of work to do, but I really don't feel like doing it! AHHH! I hate school! But I have to do it. Some people hate waking up, it happens to all of us. :p UNLESS your in a coma. They get to sleep all the time. -.- It's not fair. Hahaha! I went to the mall yesterday to get some movies... I asked for the 1st season of supernatural, I said if they didn't have it I could check with another store, they REFUSED! I asked them if they had it and they said yes, then I heard the guy in the store say "Go buy season one from that store over there" ahahaha! I thought it was hilarious that they would not let me go to the other store to buy it, they had to buy it themselves and have me buy it from them. Wow. :) At least I got it, right? Very interesting day's. :P

Home sweet Home.

Hello world. :)
Sorry I haven't quite been able to write on my blog spot for a long time. BUSY BUSY BUSY. Thank God I'm back on my normal routine! The team from Alaska/Houston left yesterday *Tear* It was a very sad experience. But it was so much fun. We were in India half of the time, and Sri Lanka the other half! I'm sure happy to be home again. I missed my friends. It's funny, the little things you miss when you've been away for a long time. I missed inviting friends over to watch movies! I missed the mall, and my bed! But I'm home. :) & happy to be here! I'm back to the books. *puke* I hate school. Doesn't ever 14 year old girl? I know it's for my "education" but seriously people, Why can't I get a job at mcdonalds instead and call it fair? :D I mean, Im a photographer anyways. -.- I know, I know. "I NEED AN EDUCATION!" bleh bleh bleh. Anyways! Same ol' same ol' here! Good to be back. <3

This is one of the kids I saw at the church.

Leaving

Well, I have been in Bangalore, India for about a week and a half now. We came here from Bangkok, Thailand. I am missing home In Sri Lanka so much. There's a team here from America. They are so great. They are loving helping us with the ministry. We have been going and going and going doing women's conferences and children's ministry for about a week. We are very tired. A few day's ago we went to the "slums." The slums are where the families with no money, no homes, just nowhere to live go. They live in little tent like things. It just breaks your heart to see how they live. They have NOTHING yet they are always so happy. I am so honored to say I'm apart of bringing the Gospel into their lives. I have been away from home (Sri Lanka) for about a month now, and I am sad, yet happy to say I am going home tonight. I get to come to India ever few months. My family and I DO have a ten year visa here but they just passed a law that we can't come back within two months of our last visit. So its like.... AHH! But, It's all in God's hands. I got some absolutely amazing pictures here. Especially of the kids. I love children so much. I truly believe that God has called me to orphans and the poor. I'll keep you updated!
