| Who Is Amanda DeWitt? |
| ~Amanda DeWitt~I am an unkown girl completely flighty yet sincere, I love the little things in life and get overwhelmed by big decisions, I’m so many people wrapped up into one skin which is often called.. Me, I’m very diverse yet so easily pleased, You could call me a cryer but you would be putting it lightly, My heart is made up of tender places that cause rain to fall from my eyes, I’m a passionate preacher yet the only thing that speaks is my heart, I’ve known the pain of abandonment at a young age, Felt the awful grip of an unwanted mans embrace upon my neck, I’ve seen the bottom of many bottles and the felt the confusion of to many pills, I’ve given myself away for worthless reasons and have searched for self esteem in drugs, I found my Savior while lying on cold wet grass praying for my next breath to come, I’ve loved deeply and unrelentingly and have gotten burned by the very fire of my own passion, I truly found myself when I began to get lost in my Fathers sweet arms of mercy, Never had I felt a peace that calmed every fiber of my very being until I met the author of true Love, I am defined by eyes that see straight into the soul and a smile that could light up a dark room, I am defined by my weaknesses that have made me a powerful humble woman of God, God has given me a love for people that I can’t explain, its a blessing and a curse to love so deeply and hurt to the same extent, I’ve hated people that have sliced into my soul and helped my brokenness become shatterdness yet I’ve learned to forgive and the freedom that it brings.. Writing has become my sanity and my ministry, it is my punching bag when I’m angry, a pillow for my tears, a friend when I’m lonely, a poem when I’m romantic, a place for all my secret pains, and a safe harbor for all my fears.. Writing is the one gift and best friend that God has blessed me with to help me through the blackest nights and the most beautiful days.. It is the place where my body, soul and spirit connect.. and sweet words are the praise that pour from this extravagant union. |
