Prayer is Pertinent

Hello long lost blog world. I've been oh so distracted from the whole reason I started a blog! There are lots of distractions going on these days but the biggest one is our little bundle that's in the making and due to make its grand entrance in July!!! We are beyond thrilled for this new journey. I think I am still in complete shock that our Heavenly Father would entrust such a special gift to Michael and I. I am fully aware that this child will simply be on loan to us from our Savior. After all, we all belong to him after all, don't we? I pray that we always hold this little one with an open hand and trust our Lord to lead us in raising him/her.
Speaking of prayer.... I listened to a wonderful message this morning from focus on the family. I was so encouraged and challenged. I'd love to share that challenge with you. The topic was prayer and though it was directed at grandparents, I walked away feeling as if I had been distracted (once again) by this world and had forgotten about the power of prayer. Do you want your walk with The Lord to be intensified and more intimate? I know I do. We can't forget how prayer leads us to the throne and draws our heart to our true love. With that being said, I know, if you're like me, you pray about many things! Friendships, relationships, work, family, finances, etc.... We even pray for this little one growing inside me and their life call, future spouse, health, and so on. Well, this message spoke on the importance of asking for the Holy Spirit to pour out on your child, grandchild, spouse, etc. When we ask Christ to meet with us, he does! So when we ask for the Holy Spirit to be with those we love, he will! How encouraging! I love the idea that by us simply meeting with our father and praying on behalf of someone, especially those we love the most, we are opening an opportunity for our loved ones to be ministered to, challenged and grow in their own walk.

Join me.... Lets lift up and pray for the Holy Spirit to meet with someone we care about today.
