Calling all prayer warriors!

I have a friend going through a very difficult time right now. Probably every one of us can think of someone who is. Maybe it's you...

There's been this thought that has lingered in my mind for days. Today it went from my head to my heart, and I have no doubt that it's from the Lord.

Our blogs can be used for so many things. Whether it be just to journal - hoping no one really reads it because it allows them into the innermost part of our heart (or maybe secretly hoping someone will see so that they reach out to us), or to share our experiences with our friends and family that we can't see on a regular basis, or to connected to others and make friends. Whatever the case, we're here...

This particular blog was created as sort of a gift to myself for many reasons. For the most part, I wanted to journal what we were experiencing on this journey into the chaplaincy. I thought it would mainly be my family and friends back home who would take a look every once in a while. I had no idea it would become so much more to me. I realize now, it wasn't a gift to myself. It was a gift from God. Only he could know what would become of it.

This morning as I was praying for many of you that meet with me here on a regular basis, that have shared your hearts with me, and are in the chaplaincy (or not), are about to be (or not), or are still praying about what the Lord desires for your life (or are simply not on this path but are still in my prayers), I realized there is so much more we can do with our blogs and I'd like to start a prayer ministry.

If you are interested in being a part of this please let me know. I will be creating something that will allow people to leave their prayer requests and updates (by name or anonymously) and praises. I don't know all the details yet, because I haven't had time to really put the work behind it, but I just know it's what I'm supposed to do. Anyone want to join me?
