from Amanda Borawsky
Amanda is a very special lady! I first met her when we lived in Killeen, TX. Her husband was in the Army, and they have the sweetest daughter! We met at Journey Church and had so much fun in our small-group study sessions. Amanda is such a top-notch Mama, always proud of her little girl who isn't so little now! She and her husband live in Florida.
