For the Sake of the Call

About Me

Name: Amy

Location: San Antonio, Texas, United States

I'm the eldest of five children in my family and love them all dearly. :) I've been a Christian since the age of five and have served in church ministry alongside my family for the past fifteen years. I love to sing and enjoy playing violin, piano, and harp, among other instruments. I've worked in the worship ministries of this area since the age of seven. I think I've found one of my life works in composing music; the Lord has sent many songs to me, and I'm trying to be faithful to share them with those for whom they were meant. I teach music lessons several days a week and have realized what a joy it is to influence so many children and others for good. Soon, I'll be opening a music store, Hearts' Home Acoustics, in Boerne, Texas with some precious friends. We'll specialize in exellent instruments and will have a music school, too. I've just graduated from Louisiana Baptist University with a major in Christian Education, a major in Music, and a minor in Bible Studies and Theology. What a blessing to have completed that chapter in my life! Last, but certainly not least, I'm now engaged and soon will be marrying my best friend. How abundant is God's goodness...

I’ve safely reached Scotland, and I love the countryside. It’s amazingly beautiful, here near Edinburgh, and the accents have been utterly delightful.  Today was my first day of the tour that is to last a week, and before much longer, I’ll be serving at Overtoun House in the vicinity of Glasgow. Such excitement fills my heart, as I await God’s hand at work. Actually, He is, even know, moving in His beauty through my life and the lives of all those He’s placed around me…I’m so grateful.

Internet access seems as though it will be scarce, so keep me in your prayers, please, but forgive me if I cannot say hello again for awhile.  May God keep you all in His wondrous grace. He has been so good to me, and I pray you shall feel the measureless depths of His love surrounding you, as well.

Good night!

Enjoy Scotland, and I'll try not to overload myself here at school. Just nine more months and then I'm done!

Paigel, I'm grateful I'm in your prayers. I know I'll need them. I'm certainly enjoying Scotland; it's more than I ever dreamed. I'm proud of you and hope those last few months for you will progress just wonderfully.

Jordan, thanks for the congrats. This place is absolutely incredible. I've wanted to go here, since the age of seven, and I'm so glad I've finally done it. It's definitely something to add to your list of thigs you must do someday. :) I'm taking lots of pictures, and I'll share some, as soon as I'm able. Thanks for the greetings!

Deb, I really miss church! My worship services have all been daily devotions, thus far, but I have every intention of remedying that problem, as soon as the tour's over and I'm on my own. :) I really will try to keep up with internet. I'm grateful for your kindness, and I send you my best!

All my love, sweet friends! :); September 07, 2006 6:34 PM
