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.
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.

Hi Pamela. I just wanted to let you know I visited and read your post. How precious. Like you, I am NOT organized in my prayers, devo, etc. I've tried praying for specific people, issues, etc. on certain days but that doesn't work for me. I like to pray for people/things when they are brought to mind. I do have a list of prayer needs for others and use that but am not structured.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely gift and a lovely giver! Please skip over me though.
Love,
Paula
wow, awesome, I love to journal
ReplyDeleteI would simply love the help in structuring my quiet time! I have the best quiet time with the Lord when it's all planned out in advance, but the work of planning keeps getting set aside. So lately, my quiet times have fizzled to random prayer and Bible reading, lacking in the depth I need to grow the way He wants me to.
ReplyDeleteI need to get back into my quiet time in the morning. I have gotten away from it! Thanks for the reminders
ReplyDeleteShannon
A gift that would keep on giving! Sounds beautiful Pamela!

A few years ago, Emilie Barnes came to our church as a guest speaker, and she had a journal like this one. I've always planned on trying to make one of my own. Thank you so much for an opportunity to win one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Several people have repeatedly told me I need to journal. Perhaps with a structured book like this I could actually follow through! Please include me in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

What a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for entering mine as well! I love the Scriptures that you shared: Psalm 40:1-3. Having a firm place to stand is so amazing isn't it?! One of my favorite verses right now is I Chronicles 16:11 "Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face always."
Merry Christmas Sweet Sister!
