Day 29: Prayer Challenge…Grow old Together

One of the couples at our church will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary in a couple weeks.  As I thought about that I realized that although I am super happy for them and will join the celebration, I will never be married that long.  Unfortunately, that is what happen when marriages fall apart.  It can make one be sad or determined.  Determined is what God expects out of us. …

Day 25: Prayer Challenge…Watching every step

It seems that a southern girl, wife or Momma is trained to worry about our family. The image of my grandmother, the worry wart, wringing her hands because she was worried about my Dad or Grand-Dad is one of the first things that comes to mind when I think about safety of my spouse, kids or loved ones.  Now, on day 25 praying over our spouse for his/her safety will take the worry away.

Anytime we…

Day 23: Prayer Challenge…Passion

Now, before you go having a panic attack, I’m not talking about sexual passion!  I’m talking about those things in life that your partner has strong feelings for.  Things like football, baseball, fishing, shopping, gardening, crafts or reading.  Those things that one just might either choose to reward themselves with or could actually allow to get out of place.  When we allow a passion to get out…

Day 22: Prayer Challenge…If you got the money honey…

Not so long ago the powerball lottery was worth so much money that most of your average folks had no idea how to spend that kind of money over the span of about 50 years.  I would love to tell you that I have never bought a lottery ticket but that would be a lie.  My husband who is the ultimate practical joker, looks up the numbers on his phone.  Brings the ticket to me.  He starts to read of…

Day 20: Prayer Challenge…A servant’s heart

The world today seems to be the direct opposite of servanthood.  Rather, we seem to be wrapped up in a “ME” world.  Where everything is about self and nothing is about others.   Most of these sex scandals started out with someone trying to further their career on their own terms.  Christ couldn’t contrast more with the world than he does right now.

The Good Book has told us that not only did God…

Day 18: Prayer Challenge…Run to THE WORD

When you step back and take a glance at our world today, it is no wonder why people are the way they are.  From grade school all the way into our adult years we are exposed to more and more pain.  I feel safe to say that the majority of marriages at least one spouse has been a victim of some form of abuse, physical, emotional or sexual.  There is most likely a large portion which both spouses…

Day 16: Prayer Challenge…Do leaders really lead anymore?!?

This day and time, you have to wonder IF there are any gifted leaders alive anymore.  The ability to lead is not a flower that blooms in everybody’s garden.  This has never been more obvious than it is today with anyone from Washington DC to Hollywood, CA that has a position of leadership taking advantage of their position and assaulting women and children.  Not to mention the ones who haven’t…
