Christmas Give-a-Way

Lysa TerKeurst is hosting a "The One Cool Christmas Contest" in which bloggers are hosting give-a-way's! Be sure to visit them all by clicking on the icon above and you will be there. Here is what God laid on my heart yesterday morning to give away. It's a God thing for just the right person!

A few years ago a very dear friend of mine gave me a pink leather planner for journaling and recording prayer request. She knows how much I enjoy journaling to God each morning. This particular journal is a very structured, unlike me when it comes to my journal practices.

Within this binder are pages for recording the scripture you read, your daily prayer request, answered prayers, and journaled thoughts. The speaker who presented this journal to us has her pages divided into daily events for each week of the month. For example, she assigns each day a specific person and topic to pray for. She assigns her family members to a day, one day for missions, one day to concentrate on our government, etc. She included pictures and mementos related to that day. A person can be real creative and make this to fit their needs.

I am a person who spends my quiet time in Bible study booklets and I journal back scripture in a prayer to God but have always used a basic journal. I need the ability to be able to use half a page if my writtened prayer is short or to be able to use multiple pages if I choose to write a long prayer to God. Though I cherish this friend, this pink leather bound journal has sat on my shelf too long and I am confident God has it intended instead for one of you to use...someone more structured in their quiet time than I!

Deuteronomy 4:29 (NIV)
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Good luck and Christmas blessings to you all! I will leave this up for a week and post the winner on Friday, December 12th.
