Hello my peeps. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve checked in with everyone. So…how ya doing? I hope your doing well and feeling good. I thought we could chat for a few minutes today if that’s okay with you. I’ve had a lot to ponder over the last few weeks. Remember my post about…… Continue reading The 3 Best Parenting Tips You Never Knew You Needed to Hear
I’ve been in a mood lately. So, short and sweet with some words of wisdom, not my words, but wise nonetheless. NOT YOUR BUSINESS. As I grow older I remember the days of childhood. sixteen, seventeen, sometimes even younger, where I thought I needed to defend what was mine. Or what I thought was mine.…… Continue reading In a Mood
October is winding down. I can’t believe we are in the last week of this month. It seems as if the older I get the faster time seems to go. Wasn’t it January yesterday? This year is flying by and what a year it’s been. Ten months of crazy if you ask me. https://www.cornerstoneccs.com/blog/2020/02/03/coping-with-change For…… Continue reading Change, Life’s Only Constant
Today, we’re going to see what the Bible has to say about how to pray.
How empowering was it to learn in post 1, that prayer is so many things? I know it helped me better understand that even though God is omniscient, my prayers show him I long for and want a relationship with him.
Well, hold on to your hats, because today we’re going to learn just how prayer is all of the things we’ve already learned and a WHOLE LOT MORE!
Scripture gives many examples of what prayer is.For the month of September, I am sharing with everyone what I’ve learned about prayer and praying. In the last post, I shared what the Bible says about prayer.
One of the greatest things in the Bible, to me, is when one of the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray. The lesson and the teaching still hold true. Come, let’s learn about prayer
So, on one of the nights when I was doing my Bible study, I realized I had pages and pages of notes on prayer, eight pages to be exact. Suddenly, you know how those ah-ha moments go, I’m thinking, DUH!, write about praying and prayer. Heck, make it a series for the whole month of September.
And that, my friends is what we’re going to be exploring all month.
Some think I’m crazy. Maybe I am. As an autumn baby (although not a September baby), my favorite season has always been fall and September begins the journey. September isn’t as spectacular as October and doesn’t hold the thankfulness of November, but in it’s own right, September has a special place. Some month had to go first in fall and September got the spot.
I believe we go through things for a reason. I believe that somewhere along our lifeline, God will use our story to encourage, lift up, change, or help someone. The only way that can happen is if we have the courage to share our story. Is it painful to relive it as we tell it? You better believe it is. Think about this, if you don’t share how will anyone know you have empathy for what they are going through?
