Pray for Prayer

Hello friends and family. If any of you saw the updates on Facebook you can see that Jordan and I did indeed sign a lease for our new apartment. We have faith that God is going to provide our needs even when we don't see how yet. Please continue to pray as Jordan looks for a new job and I look for work as well. God has been faithful in providing tons of free lance opportunities for us this summer and we are so thankful! Shower #1 was amazing! Thanks to all who showered us with love and generosity. We got so many wonderful gifts! I can't wait to start moving into the apartment in a couple of weeks and setting all my new things up.

Prayer seems to be the topic these past months and even more in these past few days. When I think about what prayer is I think it's something I don't actually do often enough. How many of us say, "I'll pray for you" and then actually do? Kudos to the ones who have prayer as a spiritual gift, but for me, it's something I need to work on. Too many times I take God for granted and just hope he reads my mind when it comes to my wants and needs. Not to say that I don't EVER pray, I do, and when I actually get quiet and lay my requests before God I LOVE it and feel so close to Him when I'm done. So, my prayer request this time is for me to remember to pray. :) And not just pray...pray hard! Shout out to Erika Dawson! Right now she is posting "Pray Truth", a great and powerful way to pray. I love reading them and praying through them and I encourage you check it out at her blog Time With Our Kids. Happy Praying!
