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!!

Tell the Truth Tuesday- (TTTT)

  If you’ve known me for less than 10 years, you might not know- I used to be fat.   Not subjectively “fat”.   Not fat, relative to how I look now.   I was medically obese.   If you looked at the ideal weight range for my height and multiplied that number times 2, that would give you the highest number that I saw on the scale. I was over 200 pounds and I quit using the scale after that.   Maybe you knew me then, maybe you didn’t.   The truth is, I didn’t know myself. I had no clue that I was fat.   I would have admitted that I had weight to lose, but I was oblivious to the reality that I was extremely unhealthy.   I was on the path to countless medical problems and chronic diseases and I didn’t know it. I had brainwashed myself. I believed lies. I used the people around me to normalize my behaviors and dismiss my convictions about my lifestyle. I started correcting my relationship with food about 10 years ago and am still growi...

Eat, Pete, & Repeat

 So, the word of the year thing is very trendy and I think I have only jumped on this band wagon once or twice in the past.  I’m not very good at it. Made obvious by the fact that I don’t remember any past words of the year with confidence and that I’m not even solidifying my word of the year until February…nuance.   Anyways, I have received and committed to my word of the year- “DISCIPLINE”.   Some of you that know me well might be a little confused by this (as was I).  I am already a pretty disciplined person. Significantly more disciplined than most, and very comfortable with that.  I have not drank a drop of alcohol in 4 years and haven’t consumed any sweets for about 3 and a half years.  I eat well.  I work out multiple times a week. We have 1 TV in the house, and I barely watch it.  I rarely lose track of time swiping on social media.  Discipline permeates pretty much every area of my life. So when God hit me with this discip...

70 Gains & Victories

Here is the Full List of 70 Gains and Victories referenced in this blog post .        1.       One time, I saw my reflection in the window of a retail store and didn’t recognize myself. 2.        Having to retire my favorite pair of pants (that used to look painted on), because they would no longer stay up.   3.        I rode the zipline at my parents’ house.   I had tried to do it in the past but couldn’t support my own weight.   This was especially rewarding because it was on my list of reasons to get healthy. 4.        I took the kids to Urban Air and played dodgeball.   Not just as the parent who wanted to be out there to have fun with the kids, but I was able to COMPETE.   I did have fun, but as an athlete I reveled in having the ability to get out there and go head-to-head with the dads and high school boys. 5.  ...
