Good morning, Rise and Shine friends!

Seriously, I am on a roll with writing.

I am really trying to write more…because you know the old saying…”use it or lose it!”

So, here we are. :)

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!

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!
