4 Days, 4 Reasons



In anticipation of the Prayer Binder Workshop that is now FOUR days away, I am posting FOUR reasons why I use a prayer binder. Hopefully these will encourage you to come out and see what it is all about!


1.)    Transformed my time with God.  A prayer binder has taken me from programming prayers and lobbing up a shotgun blast of requests, to hearing from God and recognizing his direction for my life.

2.)    The schedule makes me WANT to get into my prayer binder.  For example, I want to work through my binder on Tuesday because I know that it is the day that I pray for a missionary we support in Indonesia.  I love her dearly and I know that if I don’t get to my binder on Tuesday, then I miss out on my dedicated time to pray for her.

3.)    Strategic prayer has made me more aware of the needs and brokenness that surround me.  It has also prepared me for opportunities that God provided for me to impact others.  Teaser: At the workshop, I will share a story about a time when I felt completely prepared and comfortable to walk through an opportunity that God presented to minister to someone whom I had once had a hardened heart toward.

4.)    I have confidence that I am better utilizing the most powerful tool God has given me, prayer.                                      

I hope this quick post gives you some insight into why I want to help you build this awesome resource for yourself.  I would love to have you join us at North Star Community Church on Tuesday, July 17th @ 6:30-8 pm.  You can RSVP on the Facebook Event page.  See you there!!

In Due Season

We are in a sweet, sweet season with the kids right now.   One of the twins made straight A’s for 5 th six weeks and the other made A-B honor roll for the entire first semester.   All 3 kids have jobs.   All 3 have their licenses. 2 of them have purchased their own cars.   2 of them are in the process of talking to college coaches and hoping to attend college in the fall.   They are coming to the place where they treasure the opportunity for all 5 of us to gather around the dinner table and they value family time.   Both girls are coming to me and Matt with stories and wanting us to be a part of their lives.   They are independently setting their own technology boundaries.   I thought I was going to write a whole blog post about how good they are doing right now, but this blog isn’t supposed to be a highlight reel.   I didn’t write a blog post about all of the hard days that led up to this.   I didn’t write about the drama and tears shed, and the “I don’t wanna live heres”.   I didn’t

Whole30 Round 2!

I am starting my second official round of Whole30 tomorrow and I am super excited about it!   I have had a few people asking questions lately and trying to figure out whether or not they should commit to trying Whole30.   This post is an effort to help you better understand Whole30 and hopefully convince you to join me on my round 2!   Why did I decide to try Whole30? ·        I had tried working out.   Consistently pushing my body past its limits.   I did get stronger.   I did see improvements in my cardio.   I did not see anything change on the scale or in the mirror. ·        I was already suspecting some trends in my body’s response to breads.   Whole30 gave me a system to verify whether this was actually happening or was it just a series of coincidences resulting from other circumstances. ·        I was desperate.   I knew I was unhealthy and I knew I needed to make major changes.   I had tried a couple of diets, even one very strict diet involving measuring every port

The Perfect Month

  As many readers know, my word of the year for 2023 (and 2022 lol) is Discipline.   The month of May brought several milestones for me in my pursuit of discipline, but one stood out above the rest.   It was a perfect month for me in that I prayed and worked out six days a week for the entire month.   In reflection, I am still a little amazed that it happened.   I cannot recall another month, ever in my life, that I have brought this level of consistency.   Adding to the amazement, May was also likely the busiest month I have seen this calendar year (we had two seniors graduating from two different schools).   Some of you are likely very put off by this because it sounds impractical.   But a few of you are wondering, “How did she do it?” “What’s the secret?”   Sorry to disappoint, but there is no secret.   There was no moment at the beginning of the month where I made a proclamation that this would be a perfect month.   There was no heightened intentional commitment to accomplish thi
