"Times New Roman"">Why even avid readers should give themselves space to

write

line-height:normal;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">The odd reading habit Amanda shares with her mother

line-height:normal">mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">...and so much more.

line-height:normal">mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Amanda was the very first person I

interviewed for By Her Shelf, and this interview really set the tone for me.

Her words about creating and using our voices were the exact encouragement I

needed to hear as I was stepping into this new space. If you find yourself

struggling with self-confidence or using your voice, I know you will be

encouraged by this conversation as well.

line-height:normal">mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Quotes:

line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">One of the most valuable things we've been given is our
voice.

line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">It's not that you don't have any valuable thoughts,
it's that you haven't give your mind any air to breathe.

line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">What are you doing with all the information you stored
up?

line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">At the end of the day our confidence boils down to what
we believe and if we believe the best about ourselves. If we believe what
God says we are and who God says we are, then we're going to walk in
confidence.

line-height:normal;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list .5in"> "Times New Roman"">Having the mindset of contentment and compassion is a
way we can reflect the beauty of God and not the ugliness of the world.
