Why You Need An Army Of Prayer Warriors

Nothing provides as much comfort as knowing that you have a prayer warrior on your side. When you are going through difficult times, having a tribe that's fighting spiritual warfare with you and for you can make all the difference.

Several ladies from our church began a group text a few months ago, using it as a platform to share prayer requests, give encouragement and let each other know that there's someone in their corner every single day. As soon as my phone's special ring tone goes off, I know it's time to get down to business!

Because I'm ready to be a prayer warrior in this army.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20

Jesus Christ told his followers that there was power given to them when they prayed as an army. If just two people agreed with God about something, He told them that God would hear them and answer them. So just imagine what two or three believers could do in the spiritual realm if they stood together! Jesus said He would be in their midst, and there's no more powerful prayer partner than the Lord. 

Are you ready to form an army of prayer warriors? I have a feeling other women around you are on that same page with you, and they're just waiting to have someone reach out.

Start with the prayer list at your church. If you're praying for a certain family or situation, let them know that. Ask for updates, for specifics, so you can reach out during the week to pray together. 

If you have women in your life who are already praying for you, invite them to a group text or private message where you can share what's happening in your daily life. It's such a blessing to know there's a sister in Christ ready to hit her knees for you at any given moment.

My prayer for this week is that we'll band together into an entire army of prayer warriors. Pray for me and I'll pray for you, and we'll be blessed with the presence of Christ in our midst. How does that help you look at the days ahead?

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
