New Journal, New Meaning

Not so recently, I received a beautiful journal from family for my birthday. It's a pretty light green, with the word "HOPE" on it with green and white dandelion looking flowers on the side. It has a white ribbon marker; I love ribbon markers! and a special quote listed on each page; I love special quotes. :) I have started "things" in this journal three times now, which is impressive for me to allow myself the decision to change my mind. But I did and I allowed it, and cut out the used pages that weren't filled with meaning, like I was wanting them to be.

So now, I have decided what this purposeful journal is to hold.... prayer. Prayers for my family and friends, and prayers of gratitude to my Wonderful Creator who has given me more than I deserve. I have lined out the next two weeks, with random people that came to mind, in a random flipping page order to pray for.

Some days, I will share my "prayers of the people" (hows that for a churchy term- belch) and/or my gratitude prayer, or possibly anything else that hits my heart. There are 58 days until Thanksgiving 2010, and I thought this would be a great way to practice prayer and gratitude going into the holiday season.

Also if you have a prayer request, email me or leave comment! I would be honored to publicly or privately pray with you, for you or at you... ha ha ha

Walk Blind - by Faith ?

Mark 10: 46-52 Jesus heals the blind man

faith in blindness: What does that mean?

Why do we have to be blind before we have faith?

Why do we need death before we fight for life?
