TALK TO ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA :
AMBER'S:

About this channel: Welcome to my channel. I'm Amber Smith. My husband Granger and I live on a little farm in central Texas with lots of animals and our beautiful, super funny kiddos. We have London, Lincoln, River (who is now with Jesus) and Maverick. This channel is a spin off of our family vlog The Smiths.

I started Arise, when we lost our son, to share my feelings of loss, grief, love, hope, parenting and my faith journey along the way. We comb through scripture, I share what the Lord puts on my heart, I answer questions and more. My hope through Arise is that something I say makes you want to seek Jesus. He changed my life and my heart when I was in my 30s and I've been sharing the good news ever since.

Life is hard but God is so good. I pray you are encouraged each week. Make sure you subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss any videos! I can't wait to see you Sunday mornings at 8am central! Welcome to Arise! You are chosen!

God's Word

Saves us, teaches us, guides us, it revives us, comforts us, warns us, it counsels us, it nourishes us, it judges us, sanctifies us, it protects us, it frees us, it rewards us, it strengthens us, it makes us wise, it brings joy, it brings hope, it identifies us, points us to our savior, it shows us how to love ❤️

I finished reading Roman's this morning

[chasityarnold]

Reading Romans last week (well listening to audio Bible) was so good and I was like I think I really want to do this every week! a book a week!

my sister gave me a shirt this week that says "The Bible is the only book where the Author is in love with the reader" love it so much!

“I consider the sufferings of the present to be as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed in us” Romans 8:18 Thank you, Lord, for all You have done in my life and all You will do in the future. I am nothing without You. With You, I can do all things through Your strength. Bless you, Amber for sharing your faith with so many.🙏❤️

I've read the following in Stasi Eldredge book, Defiant Joy, that realy explained it so beatifly for me "Happiness skims the surface, Joy is rooted in eternity" ❤

When I saw today's title, "Where True Joy Is Found - Arise With Amber", I thought, yep, I do find joy there. I know that's not the intent of your title or today's message, but I wanted you to know that your podcast does bring real joy, and that's because of the Source of your message. As I travel this week, may I recognize the God-shaped hole in my life, and may I fill it with the proper Source. Thank you for all that you do. #AriseWithAmber

[meganwilliams]

Those 20 things would be great daily affirmations to tell ourselves or maybe a list to read before we spend time in the word. It would be a great visual to see everyday.

[valeriepeak]

Thank you Amber for being a good servant for GODS glory. I find my joy when I help those who are less fortunate, and find my self closer to our father God. With all glory and honor to our mighty God. In Jesus Christ mighty name Amen ❤

5:22 I saw a quote once that said “THE SECRET OF JOY IS CHRIST IN ME, NOT ME IN A DIFFERENT SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.”
