Amanda, your letter brought me to tears. Isn’t it beautiful that Christopher‘s faith is moving mountains for us all through his guileless trust? Made me miss you all. Love you so much!

Thank you. I’ve shed a few tears myself, just remembering. It is so good to go back. I remember all that God has done. We miss you!

What else can one do but to smile and cry when reading this. What a testimony of Gods love and the childlike faith that moves mountains because of that one thing we all want to live by: FAITH! And yet we seem to make it more complicated as we grow older and our minds starts trying to ”figure it out”. Oh God, give me more of that childlike faith again, like Christopher has🙌🙌🙌

I love your reminder of child like faith. I also raised 7 kids and one has a spiritual in-tune-ness that is a gift. Wow thank you.

This reminds me of the impact you had on my life, many years ago, hearing for the first time a prayer you prayed for others and how it forever changed me! Years and years of your commitment to God were the first fruits of the Spirit working in your life I had witnessed, before I began to understand the pattern of selflessness I would need to emulate in order to be a true child of the King. Yet ever since, I see it was not just your life, but a life of a community growing together to best exemplify to the world Christlike love. To hear this testimony quickens my heart to cry out: “Lord, please give me *that* kind of childlike faith.” Thank you for sharing!!

Amen. I think we are all being reminded, just through the remembering. It has been a good journey to go back over.

I often have tears at the end of one of your writings Amanda. This one was no different. Christopher is quite a gift, and I believe God is going to use him in such a mighty way. I can't wait to see it!

I couldn't read this all the way through without tears welling up in my eyes! Praise God, that He is our light, our healer, our strength, and much more! I want to grow in childlike faith :)

I want to grow more too! It helped me, just remembering it. Thank you for sharing!
