Amanda has a lot to say about how we watch over our heart and attitude as we take on projects. She has a biblical perspective that has helped her think through her values, what is important and her goals in a way that is helpful and right. She has no shortage of ideas or energy but she has learned to be content and thankful with the work that the Lord has brought to her hand. While she loves to pursue various hobbies, she knows that her identity and worth in this life or the next is found in Christ- not in the success or failure of a venture. She provides sweet encouragement for moms who are working through some of these thoughts and great questions to ask ourselves to find a good place to start when we feel like we are maxed out or overwhelmed. If you have ever thought about starting a venture Amanda is a great resource to hear how she thought through monetizing some of her skills.
