For the Sake of the Call: September 2008

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...

It's hard to imagine how I could ever put into words all that has filled this past month of my life... So much has happened... and yet, there is very little I could say that could ever be more true than simply this: God has been so abundantly good to me, my precious friends.

I am recently engaged, and I'm soon to wed the best man I've ever known, one of the kindest men God has ever brought into my life. So, it is with great gratitude and deepest honor that I am able to introduce you to Chaney Rutherford.

We'll be married at First Baptist Church of San Antonio on December 20th, 2008 at 5 p.m. and will be so blessed to have those we love near at hand. In fact, my precious friend, Aimee Wheeler Moore, is even returning for the Christmas holiday from her missions in China (for the first time in a year-and-a-half and the last time for another two years.) Many other dearly-beloved friends and family will be there to celebrate alongside us...

I'm simply wanting to share the goodness of God with you all here... and wanting to say how much I love you--each and every one. May the Lord bless you!
