I was so excited to discover that today is National Train Day! In anticipation of this special event, last weekend I put together a video in honor of my love of trains. Most of the pictures and footage are from Virginia City, Nevada and the surrounding area, where a good part of my first manuscript is set. Enjoy!
The title of this blog refers to a poem I wrote entitled Seasons of Humility. In the poem I express the struggle I have had with wanting my own way. I want to hold on to my own dreams, my own plans for my life. But I know that God has a plan for my life, one that will bring Him glory and will be even better than my dreams. So while the autumn and winter "seasons" of learning to let go can sometimes be painful and long, when the spring comes it is wondrous indeed. And through it all God never leaves me. The intent of this blog, then, is to share my thoughts as I continue on this journey of striving to be humble before my Lord. My hope is that my thoughts will encourage you on your journey, as well, whether my thoughts are on my day or on the books I have been reading!
I am a graduate of Corban University, with a Bachelor of Science degree in English. I have a passion for writing, which I hope God will use for His glory in whatever way He desires!

What a fun video, Amber. My hubby and I took a trip to Virginia City this past weekend. What a fascinating place.
