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!!

5 Reasons to Pack a Shoebox

Operation Christmas Child (OCC) is a Samaritan’s Purse ministry that takes shoebox gifts to children in over 100 countries.   OCC participants fill standard sized shoe boxes with toys, toiletries, and school supplies and drop them off at local collection sites to be processed and delivered.   I am a passionate supporter of this ministry and collection week is right around the corner (November 13-20).   So, I wanted to make sure you have heard about Operation Christmas Child and give you 5 reasons to participate. #5 Fun and Easy Samaritan’s Purse has made this as easy as possible.   You can use any shoebox, select a gender/age group, fill it up, and drop it off at one of the thousands of collection sites nationwide.   You can purchase items according to your budget or even send homemade gifts.   You get to pick the gender and age group, so if you would have more fun shopping for a 2-4 year old girl and picking out tiny pink hair barrettes, go for it! ...

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 unhealth...

Learning from Hidden Figures

This week I had the privilege of going to the movies to watch “Hidden Figures,” the true story of the contributions three African-American women ( Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson) made to the NASA program in primarily the 1960s.   I LOVED this movie, and would highly recommend seeing it.   It had everything you look for in a “good” movie- excellent cast, compelling story line, one-liners, drama, and situational humor, but it also had SO much more than that.   What made this movie truly exceptional to me?   This movie had a purpose, a cause, a message.   It is a message that our nation could greatly benefit from- a message of unity.   Everything about this movie pointed to the fact that all of the characters, black, white, foreign, young and old, where unified and motivated by a common goal.   That is inspiring! The movie did an excellent job of recognizing and honoring the contributions each of the three women made to each...
