Circle It!

Shalom,

A new day!  Sorry, I missed a few days. New vehicle, insurance, a doctor's appointment, grocery shopping and all the stuff in between.  I have missed you. When I read Mark's Batterson's  book the Circle Maker and was taken in immediately.  I couldn't wait to sign up for the challenge.  He suggests you do the study with a group or a friend.  I have decided to share with you all. 

Day 1 of 40 

Mark Batterson lives in Washington D.C. and pastors a church there.  Please do a search on him and read his exciting life in Christ.  God has lead him into some amazing opportunities. 

Mark encourages his readers to draw a circle around your kneeling body as you pray.  I have a furry pink pillow to knell at besides my bed.  I have a vision of the circle or a hula hope.  I shut the bedroom door and use the side of bed as an alter.  I have cut out circles with names, and scripture to remind me who to pray for.  I am excited to see what God does.  I want to pray His way and sense His presences each morning 

Read Joshua 1: 1-11.  I read it several times and the last few verses jumped into my soul.  Around verse 9 it was written to not be afraid or discouraged.  The LORD will be with me wherever I go.  I will cross my own Jordan and be rewarded by my God. 

I will pray, meditate, and write in my journal.   I already love the study and the sharing with you.  The goal is for God to teach me how to pray.  I am only doing a short summary tonight, but I will continue to add as I go along. 

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we my receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.  Hebrews 4: 16

Where is your favorite place to pray?  When two pray together, you will find answers. 
Send me your requests and lets pray for God's will and glory. 

I am circling my children and grandchildren.  We are broken and need God to mend the brokenness. 

More tomorrow!  This is going to be so good. 

The Promise for Today is:  If you wait for Me, I will work on your behalf.  Isaiah 64:4  

May the Lord bless this blog and those that come together to search the word and seek You, Father. 
Today is Valentine's Day.  A day to love each other and ourselves. I desire to love like Jesus loves. 

Love is in the ink. 

Love, Mary  Kay
