hello all,
i’ve been invited by our friend to “guest post” every so often. i’m amy and i want to tell you a little bit about me and why i’m here:
what you need to know about me: amy jo, Christ-follower, born and bred nashvillian, lipscomb grad, business owner, animal lover, PTSD sufferer.
what you might like to know about me: liberal, tattooed, vegan, introvert, aries, book addict, writer, vinyl collector, pug obsessed, cat worshiper, coffee addict, opinionated, grateful and doing the best i know how.
i abhor small talk and tend to just want to get to the heart of the matter so i’ll let y’all know what i know: life is hard and sometimes putting one foot in front of the other is all i have. PTSD is an anxiety disorder and i have it in spades. some days are better than others and some days i don’t know how to breathe without reminding myself to do it.
i rely on God first and those select few i trust to get me through. i’m not great at self-care (or even “good” at it) and that’s where daniel comes in. he helps me by listening, giving feedback and “getting me.” he just gets me. he and i are a lot different but we are a lot alike in the ways that matter: we care, we pray, we offer each other friendship. (his lovely wife and daughter are pretty amazing too!)
i hope we can walk this journey of faith, mental illness, forgiveness, growth and life together. thanks for having me!
grace and peace,
ajb
This is just beautiful as are you. Love you to the moon and back.
