As time passes and our family continues to learn how to live through the days and events of our lives without Amanda beside us, sweet reminders of the impact that she made continue to bless us and become another balm to our hurting hearts. Although each and every reminder is precious to us, we want to share one of them with you.

A young man who attended school with Caleb and Amanda wrote a song in Amanda's honor that was shared at the school during a special chapel service. The words were so dear to her classmates and peers that there have been many requests for copies of the song. From there it was put on Youtube and now on Itunes.

We would like to give you the opportunity to hear this song as well.

If you would like to listen to it, you may click on the Youtubes link (at the end of this post) and it will bring it up for you. If you would like to download this song, you may purchase it for $.99 at Itunes. That link is at the bottom of this post as well.

And, for those who would rather not navigate the computer links, I will write the words for you here.

BELIEVE
(for Amanda Joy McDaniel)

Stars can be seen
With those eyes so full of dreams
You know it's for His love
Lifting you higher
Like a rock you stand
Showing proof that forms His plan
Of the truth is your faith
Spreading like fire

Earth can be turned
For your angel you may yearn
You know it's His grace
Helping you find her
In the Son you're restored
It's the dream that fights the war
No force can withhold
Your heart's desire

Hold on tight to the view
There's a light in your path, we're thinking of you
Don't let go of the joy
Jesus, holding your hand
You have us through it all, helping you from the sand
Don't let go of the joy
A loving reminder, a heartfelt desire, a passionate fire
of what lies above

Thoughts of heaven, His love you hold
Beauty in prayer worth more than gold
Friends will hold your hand for life
makes the tears fall away with time
