Welcome to Selah Reverie!
I'm Amy~a mother, a dreamer, a seeker of the Truth, learning to walk the path God designed instead of the one I tried to write myself.
I'm a 52 year old mother of nine, seven grown, with only two still left at home. I've been a Christian my whole life.I grew up in the church, taught Sunday school and led weekly women's Bible studies. But somehow, I never truly trusted God with my life. I never fully surrendered.
Knowledge without wisdom. Keeping a tight hold on the rope.
It was series of very unfortunate events~ and coming to the very end of that rope,the end of myself, to bring me to the place where I finally met God. Not the God of my childhood, or some faraway figure I had tried to serve. But the God of the Bible.
The Great I Am. I've been running hard after him ever since.
Selah Reverie was born in that place.~a sacred turning point. At the end of myself I heard a whisper: "Come through the door, I'm right here,waiting for you".
Dogs are great, cats are ok
I love the beach and the mountains but beach wins
I'll take ethnic food and fancy food over a hamburger or sandwich any day
Dresses over pants.The flowier the better
I'm a certified Health Coach through IIN but it doesn't stop me from trying every health trend that comes to town. I love me a good rabbit hole
Old houses over new
Peonies and roses
Country mouse who likes to visit cities
Baths over showers
Read the book first,then see the movie
Coffee at 7 and again at 3
I forget to drink water
I could become a Disney adult. It's not out of the question
Jane Austen,Jane Eyre, Little Women, Tasha Tudor= comfort
I thought everyone had maladaptive daydreaming, until I read otherwise. Now I'm working on it
I light candles everyday. I used to have oil lamps and would light them in the evenings. I need to get one
I write in notebooks- sometimes three at a time. Lists, journal prompts,doodles, reminders. It's how I process everything in my head
I hate politics
I've been called "intense". Fair enough
Perimenopause has left me unable to eat late, drink alcohol, overeat, stay up late, compromise or pretend
I am stunned every single day over my children. Their wit, beauty, intelligence and values. All of it. Every single day.
I am divorced. Long story. We are friends
My Google history consists of looking up daily life for ancient cultures. What did they eat? Wear? Live in? What was music like then? What was the entertainment at the time? What did an average day look like? Fascinating
