What makes Amanda happy?!

1. Jesus...for doing the unthinkable and obeying with your life.
2. God...for loving more than what is deserved. (even though they are all one! :))
3. Family...even if I feel like the worst Christian in the world with you guys, I love you non the less.
4. Rachel Honeycutt...for being there for me through it all. For being brutally honest - for being able to open up to me so I can open to you. You are like a sister, genuinly - I love how we can pour our hearts out with each time we see each other. And have fun doing it. :) You are so driven and God's gonna use you like crazy. We're gonna be friends for LIFE.
5. Amanda Tiner...we've been friends for so long and I'm glad we've gotten closer. You make me laugh with your sarcastic humor. I feel like I can open up to you and you give SUCH GREAT advice. You really do. It's like you know the world, like you've talked with it as if you would a person and it's like you know that it's not always pretty. You know it in such a honest way while the rest of the world wants to paint a pretty picture of it. But don't let it swallow you; know it, but not as you would a friend, just enough to where you become stronger for knowing it. God's going to use your life, what you've been through, everything, to grow you and mold you and paint the picture of who He wants you to be.
6. Joe Roy...you're just cool, really. Since the first time I met you and we had a conversation about Chops, haha, I knew we'd be friends. You are the type of person that people feel instantly comfortable with and like they can have a great time with you. You are such a great brother in Christ and I've been praying for you since I've met you: that God would shape you into the man that He wants you to be. Joe my bro, never change - except in the direction of who God wants you to be.
7. Kristina Weeks...girl, you are always there for people. I want you to know that someone is there for you. You don't always have to be strong. I want to hang out with you. I want you to be able to open up to me and I want to be true friends. And by true I mean in the lasting sense, in the sense that is genuine and lasting and fufuilling.
8. Christal Nelson...Hey. I miss you. You always make me smile and I don't think you quite understand how much of an impact you've had on me. I can't wait to see your gorgeous smile soon. You are such a strong warrior of Christ and I'm not playing when I say God's going to use you in MASSIVE ways. I'm praying for your future, your here and now, and everything else.
9. Amber Wingo...girrrl, you are pretty much the ONLY one who can make me talk on the phone for HOURS! It never get's old talking with you...from the deep stuff to Hilary Clinton and her PMS. I look up to you in such huge ways. You are crazy and you bring out the crazy side in me. I never get tired of it. Aquire the Fire was such imense FUN with you. You are such sunshine no matter where you go. Everytime I see you it's like we're picking up from where we left off the last time. Not many people have that attribute about them. I love you girl and we ARE hanging out soon! (:
10. Lorren Fennell...it's weird putting your last name because I never use it. ;) You are such a sweet girl! I'm excited for what God's going to do in this stage of your life and what God's going to show you and grow you to be. Always be yourself and I can't wait for future fun times with you! (:
11. Emily Coates...your dedication for God blows me away. I always learn something new from you. I want to hang out with you more and become closer friends. You're soo cool! (:
12. The Fig Family. You guys are amazing to me. Each one of you is so different which is amazing in itself because God gave you each different gifts for different purposes. It's just awesome to see that so evidently in a family that truly loves. Mama Fig - you are such a LIGHT! You are so joyful and you can always make me smile. And you are so caring - in the way you care for others and the way you talk about your sons. And you are a rockin help with prom dresses! :) Papa Fig - You always have a smile on your face and you always are so genuine. You always ask me about my future (even when I have absoulty no idea except the word God's going to be in it ;)) and seem to care so much. The way you and Jane are raising your sons to be such gentleman shows the type of character that you both have. Mitch Fig - you are so silly and I love it! Haha, I love your random questions and the way you care about people. Oh, and the way you are a MAN (haha) and have those crazy secrets...BUZZ. If you feel like somethings wrong with someone you are instantly there to help them out. ...wait, do you see this..the word caring is comming up with ALL the Figs. (: You're just a rockin' brother in Christ and I can't wait to see what God does in your life! Matt Fig - You are such a cool guy. You are so friendly and it seems that people feel at ease with you. God has gifted you so much musically and when I see you it makes me think about one of the Jona's Brothers, haha. God's gonna use you in huge ways! (: Marc Fig - MARRCCCC! You are such a cool guy! I love talking with you and joking around. You are a BEAST at the guitar; I can't even believe it! Keep following God's will for your life! He's gonna use you in incredible ways!
13. Jen...hey you! (: You're such a sweet friend. You are always there for me and you really care. I want you to know that I'm always here for you with everything - but you know that. (: I want to get to know you more. I know God's going to have His hands on the surgeons as they work on your back.
14. Kate...you are soo sweeet and caring. Ever since I met you, you are so sweet and always there for people. I wish I knew you better too.
14. The rest of my friends...you all mean so much to me in different ways. I'm just not close enough to you to write it on here. But you all make me happy. :) For my guy friends in my life - know that I'm praying for each of you and your futures. You guys are like brothers to me and I look up to each of you. For my gal friends - I want to get closer to each of you and I want to be there for you all. (:

I'm gonna get a notebook and what you do is you put the first 100 things that make you happy. It's called the Happy Book. Then you give it to your friends and they write what makes them happy. So then your happy book gets huge. (:
