About Me

Hi Swaboutphotoeet Sister!

You are an answered prayer, a gift to me – did you know? I grew up with three brothers and always wanted a sister. How wonderful that, in the family of God, we belong to each other. Soul sisters understand, encourage, and comfort each other.

So how should I describe myself to you? I am a wife and mother of three adult children (two daughters and a son) and the owner of a few preschools. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a Master’s degree in Education. I  lead a women’s prayer and bible study group called – you guessed it- Sweet Sisters! We come from all different denominations and backgrounds and unite together with the goal of growing closer to Jesus and pointing others to Him.

I hope and pray that my words bring you comfort, encouragement, and Joy. Most of all, I hope that I point you to the One who gives these things so fully. I know personally the comfort of God’s presence, as I held my premature daughter years ago as she breathed her last breath, after spending 40 days in the NICU. I also understand the struggles of motherhood from frustrating toddlers to emotional teenagers to now the joy of experiencing the process of childhood once again, since I am a MiMi to two amazing grandchildren.   I hope you will learn from my many mistakes, as well as from my victories. My joys include a beautiful marriage of 32 years, and a fulfilling career supporting young children and their families. My failures and quirks? I guess you will need to subscribe to read all about them:)

Our journey can feel so lonely at times. Let’s walk through the highs and lows together, hand-in-hand, as sweet, soul sisters should.

Your Forever Sister,

Amber

  1. I am thrilled and excited to see where God will take you on your new endeavor!
    To wait in anticipation to see how many brothers and sisters will ultimately find encouragement, wisdom, guidance and direction as you share your heart and the Word of God with us.
    As well as those who will place their trust and open their hearts to Jesus as they mediate on your written words as led by the Holy Spirit.
    May God continue to bless you abundantly and increase your territory through this blog (the prayer of Jabez) .
    ? Love you!

  3. Hi Amber,
    I miss you and all of my sisters from HdG. Love having this as a new way to connect with you (and other sisters in Christ). BTW- the best way I’ve found to keep spiritually fit is to meet with a spiritual director monthly. Besides the accountability, it pushes me little by little, outside of my “much too comfortable”comfort zone.

I always think of the day when you and MaryJoe came to my house to welcome me to the neighborhood with a pie! You’re a wonderful friend and sister in Christ! To God be the glory!
