The Amy White Consultant Experience
In April of 2023, God put a vision in my heart that involves helping busy Christian entrepreneur men and women who have A LOT on their plates. In doing life, they may have unintentionally lost their way in their marriage, and they need someone to lean on right now to help them find their way back to that JOY they once knew or find it for the first time if they never truly had it.
To give you a little of my background, I met the love of my life (Geoff) in 1998 at our grandparents' wedding. Yes, we are cousins by marriage. He seems to think telling people we're actual cousins is funny. Sigh. Oh well. We do live in East Tennessee. I digress. We didn't start dating until July of 2002. We periodically ran into each other at Southern Adventist University, where we attended college. I was a nursing major, and he was an education major. He had never dated anyone before dating me. He wanted someone real, someone who didn't want to date for fun. So, after 4 months of dating, he asked me very casually, "Hey, wanna go look at rings?" Gasp! "It's only been 4 months!" I then proceeded to tell him to give me a moment. We were in the parking lot at Walmart, how romantic. I prayed right there. "Lord, is this who You want me to marry?" I heard a resounding, "YES!" So, I said, "Yes! Let's go look at rings!" He's like, "Really?!" We picked out a ring shortly after that, and a few months later, he chose a more romantic site to pop the question. I was overwhelmed with emotion and forgot to answer him! He asked again, and I said, "YES!" We were married in June of 2004. All that to say, when God is honored in our big and small decisions, He will reap abundant blessings on us - so much so, that we MUST share them with others.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but here we are, ups and downs and 20+ years later, living our best life! We tried getting pregnant, but we never could, so we opened our hearts to fostering and adopting a sibling pair - a boy and a girl. We got them in 2015 when they were 9 and 12. I had never been a parent before, but let me tell you, doing it this way was a crash course. Geoff is a wonderful teacher and principal at our little church school here in Tennessee, so they went to school with him each day, as I was busy, too busy, working as a nurse practitioner from 2008 until 2024, and then God called me into full-time ministry and entrepreneurship!
I know what you're going through, trust me! Been there, done that! Exhaustion overtook me, but I kept striving for excellence, achievement, money, etc. Then I came to realize I was chasing the wind, and after turning 40, it hit me - I only had approximately 40 more years to live!
Was I doing what I truly wanted?
Was I happy in my relationships?
Was trading my life for money worth it?
I had to answer those questions honestly. I cried out to God for help. I was drowning. I worked myself into the ground for 3 more years, then God allowed a situation to happen at work. He heard my cries over the years, and He was going to do something about it. It had become my habit to offer prayer to my patients over the years; most said, "Yes, please!" Some said, "No thanks." I didn't push. In April of 2024, I received 2 bad reviews from patients who thought I shouldn't be offering prayer to patients. My employer didn't want bad reviews, so they enacted a ban against offering prayer to patients. This had become my purpose, and they took that away. I asked God what He thought of that. That same week, He led me to Isaiah 62:6 that says, "You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent." I knew God was up to something, but I waited on His timing. On Thanksgiving morning of 2024, God woke me with a start, "Get up! I want to tell you something!" "Ok, ok, Lord, what is it?" He said, "I want you to put your 30-day notice in on December 2, 2024, and start the New Year in 2025 working strictly for Me." Gasp! Then the tears came. "Really, Lord!" I asked Him if we would need to move because our income would decrease by 2/3rds. He told me He would provide my every need, always has, always will. So, with my husband's support, we took the leap! And we haven't regretted a single moment of this new journey He has us on. What an absolute BLESSING it has been to work for God in various ministries.
God has AMAZING plans for you, too!
