21 Day Warrior Prayer Challenge

I just spent the last week praying the Warrior Prayers from Brooke McGlothlin's new ebook.  I took the challenge to pray 10 times a day (weekdays) in 21 different areas for my son.  At first I didn't know how I was going to find time to pray 10 times a day.  I made it a habit to stop at certain hours of the day and get down on my knees, read through the Scripture and pray that short prayer.  It wasn't hard, but it definitely gave me time to focus on God.  My child is a gift from God and the best gift I can give back to God is pray for him.  I love these prayers and I will continue this practice LONG after the challenge is over.  I'm also so encouraged by Brooke's thoughts for each day as we pray.  Not only am I lifting up my son, but I'm changing too.  If I want my son to be more like Christ in these areas, then I should strive to be more like Christ in these areas too.

Here is what we prayed about this week:
*Obedience
*Submission to Authority
*Integrity
*Avoiding Foolishness
*Pride
*Purity

Learning Activity: Playdough letters/Matching

The other day when I pulled out some new playdough I started making letters and having Shrade tell me the letter that I made.  Better yet, I had him go find the matching magnetic letter from our letter board.  It was so fun to watch him figure out the letter that matched.  Easy and fun!

What's on our Bookshelf? I Can Help by David Hyde Costello

This is an absolutely adorable book that we picked up from the library.  This poor little duck gets lost and another animal says "I can help."  So the duck reunites with his family.  In the meantime this animal needs help and another one comes along.  This happens for several jungle animals until the duck again helps one of the animals but gets lost himself.  At the end they all help duck to find his family.  My son enjoys this book because he gets to say, "I can help."  And he knows exactly when it's coming!

21 Day Warrior Prayer Challenge

How many times have I wanted to pray significantly for my son?  Well, I was so excited to discover Brooke McGlothlin's book Warrior Prayers.  This month, Brooke is hosting a challenge to pray for our sons for 21 days in 21 different areas.  This book does not compare to any other.  Each day, Brooke has designated 10 prayers for one particular area.  Today's focus is Obedience.  I am on my knees 10 times today to pray specific prayers for my precious son.  How about you?  Would you like to have the privilege to bring your precious warrior before the throne of God?  I'm so excited to see what God will be doing in my life as well as my son's as I take the time to pray.
