30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Days 1-30

From September 19, 2013 to October 29, 2013, I walked around and prayed for our local high school.  My husband does youth ministry there, so I also prayed for him and the team of people who work with him to share Jesus Christ with those students.  I walked for 30 days, Monday to Friday, alone […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 30 Transformed

This morning I got up at 8am, showered, nursed Evelyn, drank 2 cups of coffee, and then left the kids with Brad while I went for the last walk of my 30 days.  On the way out the door, Brad urged me to take my time and treat myself to something special at the coffee […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 29 Grace for the Moment

This morning as I walked around the high school, the students were in the process of changing classes.  I passed 4 boys in black t-shirts using every expletive in their vocabulary to discuss what they would be wearing for Halloween this year.  A few moments later I passed 2 students behind a bush opposite the […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 28 Seek & Find

Today Brad took Naomi with him to guitar practice at the church, and I took Oliver and Evelyn along for my walk around the high school.  About a block from my house as I pushed the stroller in front of me, with Oliver running behind me, I saw a young man riding his bike toward […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 27 Ask, Seek, & Knock

After 48 hours of red, watery eyes, runny nose, interrupted sleep, and general fussiness…Evelyn finally cut her 8th tooth today.  We’re both still recovering, but today there was marked improvement.  So for the last three days I haven’t walked in the morning.  Today I walked mid-afternoon when Brad could be on-call during nap-time.  It was […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 26 Father Abraham

Today as I walked, I had “Father Abraham” stuck in my head: “Father Abraham had many sons.  Many sons had Father Abraham.  I am one of them, and so are you.  So let’s all praise the Lord!”  I hope none of you has the impression that I am a super-spiritual saint, or a prayer expert.  […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 25 Walking in Darkness

Evelyn kept me up last night as she struggled with a head cold.  She needed more attention than usual today, so I didn’t get out for my walk until the sun was setting.  Brad encouraged me to go ahead and get out anyway, even though it was late.  The pink and orange sunset over the […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 24 Insecure, Foolish, & Undignified

I am a very insecure person at times…especially among other women my age.  It’s easy to spot any other woman who has better hair, better make-up, nicer clothes, cooks better, hosts better, exercises more, is more creative, is more entrepreneurial, has better behaved children, yells less, laughs more, has a better house, is more generous, […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 23 God & Money

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be […]

30 Days of Praying for Your Local High School: Day 21 All the Poor and Powerless

“All the poor and powerless, and all the lost and lonely… all the thieves will come confess and know that you are holy. All will sing out, Hallelujah.  We will cry out, Hallelujah. All the hearts who are content, and all who feel unworthy… all who hurt will nothing left will know that you are […]
