Take Time to Pray
I got this list from “The Power of a Praying Wife” by Stormie Omartian
It is a good thing to pray for your husband every day.
Don’t ask God to fix him.
Just ask Got to strengthen and bless your husband in a different area each day.
Today’s prayer is for…
1. His Wife
2. His Work
3. His Finances
4. His Sexuality
5. His Affection
6. His Temptations
7. His Mind
8. His Fears
9. His Purpose
10. His Choices
11. His Health
12. His Protection
13. His Trials
14. His Integrity
15. His Reputation
16. His Priorities
17. His Relationships
18. His Fatherhood
19. His Past
20. His Attitude
21. His Marriage
22. His Emotions
23. His Walk
24. His Talk
25. His Repentance
26. His Deliverance
27. His Obedience
28. His Self-Image
29. His Faith
30. His Future
There is no specific prayer for the 31st. I try to take a little extra time to pray a little about each of the above, or take an extra day to pray for my husband’s wife… She needs a lot of help to remember that God needs to work on her heart so that she may pray for many blessings in all the above areas.

This is a great article about using essential oils internally. I have heard of this, and have even considered using a method not mentioned in this article, but I will share that another time.
God Bless,

Well, this is what the house looked like when we first saw it. We are still waiting for closing, but we are just about there! Please keep praying for us as we step out in faith that God wants us here.

Updating my blog for MLK Day!
Well, as part of my promise to myself to update my blogs, and since Darren is home because of MLK day today, I am not going to come up with anything original. I am just going to re-type an entry from a book I got at the Scholastic Book Fair.
Happy MLK Day, Y’all!

With the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. But just because African-Americans were officially free it didn’t mean they had equal rights. Here are some of the important events in the struggle for civil rights since Emancipation:
1868: The Fourteenth Amendment declares rights to all Americans
1870: The Fifteenth Amendment declares the right to vote to all male citizens.
1896: In Plessy vs. Ferguson, the Supreme Court upholds segregation declaring that facilities can be kept “separate” as long as they are “equal”
1909: Riots in Springfield, Illinois, lead both black and white intellectuals to form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
1939: When the Daughters of the American Revolution refuse to allow Marian Anderson into Constitution Hall, she draws a croed of 75,000 singing at the Lincoln Memorial.
1942: The interracial Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) is founded in New York City.
1947: Jackie Robinson becomes the first black player in major league baseball.
1545: In Brown vs. Board of Education, the Supreme Court bans segregation in public schools.
1955: In Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat to a white person; her action leads to the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 to 1956, and to the desegregation of Montgomery buses in 1956.
1957: Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas tries to block the entry of nine black students to Central High School in Little Rock; President Eisenhower calls in 1,000 paratroopers to restore order.
1960: Afro-American college students insist on being served at an all white Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina; their action launches the “sit-in” protest movement across the country.
1961: In “Freedom Rides” sponsored by CORE, groups of black and white people test desegregation by riding together on buses through the south.
1963: Police arrest a group of ministers, including Martin Luther King, Jr., for demonstrating in Birmingham, Alabamam. He gives his stirring speech, “I Have a Dream,” at the March on Washington.
1964: The march from Selma to Montgomery, led by Martin Luther King, Jr., leads to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. Black leader Malcolm X is murdered.
1968: The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., is murdered in Memphis, Tennessee, leading to a week of riots in 125 cities.
1978: Seattle desegregates its schools, becoming the largest U.S. city to do so without a court order.
