God's Answer to my Prayer Life

My Mom's group made a Prayer Journal last year as a craft, and it was exactly what I needed to jumpstart and organize my prayer life (so I'm not so overwhelmed praying for every need every day). I absolutely love my prayer journal. But it is starting to fall apart, and basically because "prayer needs" change on a fairly regular basis, I needed to just make a new one. Then the Lord prompted me to make one for Ashley as well. She was delighted (much to my delight!). So I made hers today, and I am so excited that I wanted to share it.

This is her very own personalized cover (thanks to a ShabbyPrincess freebie and Photoshop Elements!). (Sorry, I have no idea how to rotate the photo for you!)

This is the back cover. It has her favorite Scripture (Psalm 91). She was very concerned that you wouldn't be able to read it, but I assured her that once you found out it was Psalm 91 you would all rush to get your Bibles and read it right away :) (Isn't she too sweet??!!)

This is how the inside looks with all the tabbed dividers, and ...

last but not least, this is one page from the inside. Her page is a lot cuter than mine! What a little twelve-year-old, huh?!

I'm so excited! I'm going to work on mine next. I told her that she can take it to Missionettes this year and write down the prayer requests of the other girls so she remembers to pray for them during the week. Debbie, it's too bad you won't be there to be my secret spy and tell me if she does:) just kidding! (or, "jk" as Ashley would say!) It's totally up to her.

Another great thing to do! I had a prayer journal for my boys although it was just a notebook with their pics stuck to the pages. I have not been consistent with it so now I am using my cell phone alarms to prompt me!

Favorite Things

Things that make me smile and sometimes laugh: my family Starbucks with friends reading blogs :) parking the car in the driveway of our "new" house, lol! Oh, I guess I've forgotten to take a picture to show, huh? bantering with Ashley (the good kind of bantering--not the kind that gives me gray hairs!) My Missionettes girls (I think we've already been over the fact that even though they all have parents, they're still "my" girls!) breakfast with friends (Hi, Teena!) my new XTi :) Photoshop Elements (one of my best friends 'cause it makes me look like I take good pictures, lol!) scrapbooking (digital and regular) Crock Pot dinners (If I wasn't a Christian I would worship the person(s) who invented it) women friends in general the words Carlos mispronounces (washmouth instead of mouthwash, it's "between the rules" instead of "against the rules," and "overfloat" instead of overflow) I, of course encourag...

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me. I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section. I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me. So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates! It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far. :) God is incredibly amazing, huh? The big pi...

Random "me" stuff

Update about the jail visit : We were not able to go this weekend because communicating with an inmate is a little bit complicated, so we were not able to set up a time. I am praying that it works out this week. My friend will get back to me. Also, I found out that I cannot bring him anything. If I want him to have a One-Year Bible, I have to order it online and have it sent directly to him at the jail. I will be in prayer about that as well. Today, I'm keeping it very light. I have had A LOT of time to myself this summer, so I wanted to show you how I've been spending my time: a LOT of getting my classroom ready! My favorite part is the back wall (ready for student work!), so I thought I'd show you that today. the back of my classroom! We will have a "Fruit of the Spirit" Tree in which the kids will each have a paper apple with their name on it. When they see a classmate demonstrating one of the fruits of the Spirit, they w...
