Palma Deus

Hello, world. I am Amanda, and I've been inspired by many many things in my life to start a blog, most recently, the movie Julie & Julia. If you haven't seen it, go see it. I loved it, and it inspired me to blog. I will not, however, be cooking anything. I am a terrible cook. No, this blog is about other things. Namely about bringing glory to God through whatever I am doing. Hence the name. Palma Deus translates to "Glory to You, God," in Latin, my all-time favorite language. While I do not speak it, I sing it quite frequently, and I absolutely love the way it sounds. That said, a bit about myself.

I am a young lady in love with Jesus. The real Jesus. If there is anything in the world I can do to help you know Him, I will. I feel a strong calling to preach the true Jesus and Gospels to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints especially, but anyone of any faith or no faith at all who wants to know Him is more than welcome to ask me. I may not have all the answers, but I will always do the best I can to help you know and love Him.

I am also a singer. I have been blessed with a gift and a passion for music, and I intend to use it to glorify God for my entire life. I plan on studying music through college, and hopefully teaching it, and using it to bring others to Christ. I particularly love American musical theatre, pop/rock, and contemporary Christian music. I compete in local singing contests occasionally, and I have auditioned for American Idol in the past. After the Lord, music is one of the greatest sources of joy in my life.

I hope to update this blog often. I plan on writing about my life, my struggles, my loves, my losses, and everything in between. I hope that somewhere, somebody reading this will find what they are looking for.

God bless,

Amanda
