I sought the Lord…
Many years ago, I began blogging.
I began a family blog around 2008, and that is what began my writing journey.
Stories of my children, of friends, of happy times, of sad times…all of it are written in that little family blog from long ago.
So, as I share this story, it is in hopes that I will remember and never forget the absolute AWE AND WONDER of our God!
A Praying Life…
Happy Happy Friday, sweet friends!
I hope your year is starting off sweet. Oh, so often, I pray for you!
As we focus on prayer this year, I was reminded of a post that my dear friend wrote years ago.
I have gone back to it through the years for the wisdom she shared!
Kelli shares some incredible insight and wisdom into getting started with a “praying” life.
When Kelli wrote this her children were 6 and 3. Her children are now 18 and 16!
Her words still ring true….
In fact, Kelli is the reason that a few of us began a prayer group so many years ago.
These girls, Christa, Kelli, and Erin, have been the some of the biggest prayer warriors in my life. We check in weekly, and have seen so many miracles and answers to prayer together!
Be blessed by Kelli Brooks today! You may want to grab a pencil and paper and take notes!
Do the next thing…
After I had dinner with my son a couple of weeks ago, I did something I was taught to do years ago….do the next thing.
Yes, that simple.
Do the next thing.
My son and I both had lamented to each other that we were in weird places with our faith. Just dry. Or something. Just off.
It was kind of refreshing that he understood exactly what I was feeling. We could almost finish each others sentences as we were expressing our thoughts.

Praises
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD, for I hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
— psalm 143:8
