Moms, take this challenge with me!

One of my favorite blogs out there is called Bring the Rain and its written by this awesome Christian Mommy named Angie.  She's about my age and has three young girls at home and one in heaven.  I can't say enough about how her blog has inspired me and taught me.  

Her latest post is a challenge for us Moms to pray for our kids.  I know, it seems like a lame challenge as most of us already do that but her challenge goes beyond just a quick prayer in the morning and at night.  She's challenging us to pray at least 7 times a day and gives us a great idea for seven events in the day that we can use to trigger our prayers.  I used a couple of her verses but found some different ones that I felt had to be what I prayed for my girls.  I will post my seven little prayers once I completely finish them.  

Here, go ahead and read her post so you can get the whole background info in case I didn't explain it well enough:  http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/
(p.s.  the music in her blog can get a bit annoying so just lower your volume if it bothers you)

I really relate to what she said about not caring as much whether my girls are really academic, or sports oriented as much as I care about their hearts.  It's something that has been in my mind as I've started thinking about Lucy's education and her school years.  

Join me in this challenge for a few weeks, leave me a comment/send me an email with the prayers you chose for your kids.  I really would love to hear your ideas!
