She has a desire to see the hand of God in everything, to always be aware of His presence, and to love and live life to the fullest.

This ministry is motivated by Amy’s heart to serve and minister to all of God’s girls.

After years of dancing around the sound of His sweet, gentle calling into the ministry of writing and public speaking, Mia Sarah has taken a faithful (and scary) leap forward. Cherishing her first ministerial position of Wife and Helpmate to the cuddliest Brian out there and treasuring her role as Mommy to 3 extraordinary kids, Mia is learning daily how to weave her gifts into a quilt that will showcase how awesome He is!
Recently announcing to her 12 year old daughter Evangeline, 9 year old daughter Asia, and 2 year old son Taiyo, that “Mommy is going back to school!”, Mia is bouncing off the walls with excitement to begin Trinity Bible College in January. Knowing that her husband is always the biggest supporter means oodles and often makes her teary eyed with the warm and fuzzies.
Determined to recommit and carve out time for her newly started and currently on pause blog, Chronicles of Mama Mia, she laughingly asks that grace is extended when visiting the site. Mia was unsuccessful in originating and owning a vanity license declaring her life verse: Proverbs 31:30, “Charming is deceptive, and beauty is fleeing, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised,” — so she resorted to embedding it onto her smartphone =)
Amydeanne is a thirty-something sleep deprived woman who strives to live her life to the fullest as a Christian, wife, mother of 4 beautiful children on earth, and 3 in heaven, & 2 dogs and asix-toed cat! She is an artist, and somewhat jack of all trades. Moreso, Amydeanne is a struggling Christian, who is trying to get over the fact that she lives in an imperfect world.
She has been a website designer/photographer for many years (worked/played on/at designing bbs’s in the ’80’s before the internet was popular.) She has been working on her own Christian photography for about 7 years now and previously worked as an internet marketer and graphic artist before becoming a parent. People will recognize her blog www.the160acrewoods.com for Word Filled Wednesday (or WFW for short). It will be starting it’s 4th year! Amydeanne has been truly blessed by having the opportunity to continue it’s ministry to Glorify God. As well as WFW, you’ll always find her with lots of books around the house (too many she is quick to admit!), and thus a lot of her blog is reviewing Christian (and a few non-Christian) reads.
Her newest conquest will be homeschooling her children in the fall!

Kathryn Lang was born Mary Kathryn Cranford in Guntersville, Alabama, on January 26, 1970. She met her first love (who would later become her husband) at the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1982. She stalked him for several years before finally getting a date. That was the beginning of many dates, break ups, hating, loving, a long turn at friendship before marrying on December 31, 1993.
Possibility thinking and positive point of view have been a part of Kathryn’s life for most of her life. Couple a sunny disposition with a peculiar attitude and pour that into a small town and it is not surprise that people talked. Kathryn strives to get people talking now. It has only been in the last few years that she has taken that good, positive and uplifting attitude and her peculiar slant and used it to pursue her purpose in this life.
Today, Kathryn lives and works at home with her three homeschooled children (all boys – ages 12, 10 and 3) and her husband who also works from home. They live in a little cabin in the woods on a small patch of land. It is the place that she always had in her dreams and now her dreams are becoming a reality.
You can find Kathryn on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
