  I am linking up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday ♥♥ The Weather ♥♥ I feel like a broken record.  Around 40's in to low 50's, gray, dreary.  Some rain.    ♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥   Mostly cloudy - 40-something.  Ugly still.  Boo.    ♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ Working on the blog during a writing sprint.  I'm resting in bed because I overdid it yesterday.  I am doing things I can work on from bed.  Journaling, blogging, writing, Bible Study, reading.   ♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ So, can I just say that I am thinking about everything? Both good and bad.  Next month, when I get my yearly bonus, I am going to invest in a new laptop.  I purchased a very cheap one a year ago, and you get what you pay for.  It freezes up all of the time; several of the keyboard keys stick, and it is very slow.  The entire reason I bought a super cheap one was to see if I wo...

How to Invigorate Your Prayer Life: A Bite Sized Bible Study, Part 2

  If you are looking for a way to grow closer to God in prayer, another way to do so is to pray the Lord's Prayer.  This is similar to the first suggestion of praying God's Word back to Him, but on an even greater level.   I love how Jesus tells the disciples to go to their "inner room" when they pray.  You look inward, in a private moment between you and God sharing your heart.  Speaking to God in your heart is at the center of all prayer.  Matthew 6:9-13:  New International Version 9 “ This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done,     on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts,     as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]     but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’ While researching this, I found that many people are very loyal to their  version of the p...
