Day 27

Day 27 of the prayer challenge! This month is almost over!!! Share any changes you have seen in your blended family no matter how small. Hopefully praying for your blended family had become a habit!!

Fitting in vs Belonging

Fitting in vs Belonging
This is one of the biggest problems I believe that one faces in a blended family. At the beginning a lot of people do things & say things in order to fit in. This doesn't work because at some point who you really are will show. Fitting in is who we present to the world, belonging is who we are. Now sometimes it is hard for people to accept who you are, they may feel that you are trying to fit in but that perfect moment is when they recognize and acknowledge that you are truly who you are and that you belong! Now this can take awhile, but that moment when your blended family is working with each other and acknowledge that you belong is priceless! Today is Day 15 of the prayer challenge and I pray for your self acceptance! I pray that you allow your authentic self to show and that you have the strength to stand when others think differently

Day 13

"Forget about what's happened; don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I'm about to do something brand-new. It's bursting out! Don't you see it?" Isa 43:18-19
Today is Day 13 of the prayer challenge. Do you see something new in your blended family? Maybe you are still fixed on the past, old stuff, that is preventing you from seeing things from a new perspective. People grow, change, and mature. Even if you feel that someone is not growing, changing, and maturing, you are or you can! Stop letting others dictate the life you live!

Day 10

Today is day 10 of the prayer challenge. In my time of prayer & reflection, I thought about how sometimes in blended families there is someone who is absent. It maybe a father/mother that is not a part of children's lives, a child that prefers to be with one parent over the other, etc... These situations can bring about resentment and unforgiveness. Because there is some type of distance, for whatever reason, doesn't mean not to pray for them or that they are not a part of your blended family. No matter how much you may deny it or wish it didn't happen, they are still a part of you and more of a reason to pray for them. One of the things that amazes me about God is that He is sovereign! He does what He wants, when He wants and how He wants! Pray, Pray, Pray! Join me in this challenge!

Day 9

Look past your chaos and see God's plan for your blended family! Day 9 of the prayer challenge!! Join me!

Change first!

This is day 7 of the prayer challenge!!! A whole week of praying for someone else and maybe even an enemy. Are you praying for that person to change?? STOP WAITING ON SOMEONE ELSE TO CHANGE, CHANGE FIRST!!

Relationships can't be ignored

Relationships can not be ignored! That means that baby daddy that you'd like to forget is the father of your child, that baby momma that is making your life impossible, that in law that is always in your business.... The list can go on and on. Whatever the situation is you're in a relationship. Today is day 6 of the prayer challenge and how about praying for that relationship that you have been ignoring. Because you ignor something doesn't make it go away, usually it gets worst! How would your blended family look if all the relationships were healthy ones? It's never too late!

Day 3

Day 3 of the prayer challenge! Share some of the things you are praying for. Has being in prayer for someone change the way you view them? Are you starting to view them as an individual and not the problem? Lets start dealing with the problem, the issue and I guarantee you your perspective will change. Remember everybody has their side to the story!

Day 2 of Prayer Challenge

Day 2 of our prayer challenge!! Who did you pray for today? Did you find it challenging to pray for someone that you may be at odds with? Sometimes when we see people as the enemy we want them to be unhappy and misarable. I believe that everyone should learn to take responsibility of their life dilemmas. We can't wish harm and danger towards others and expect blessings to flow our way! Please join me in this challenge, it's not too late!

Prayer changes things

Prayer changes things! How many people feel like their situation will never change? You may feel like "my kids father will never do right", " his baby momma is gonna also make her FB posts about me", "my step kids never will like me", "my baby momma is never gonna let me see my child", the list can go on and on. My challenge for you is it commit to praying for someone daily within your blended family during the month of Apil, even if everything is fine within your blended family. Don't pray for The Lord to change them. Pray for their protection, prosperity, happiness, deliverance, and peace. "For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice." James 3:16 (NIV). It may seem hard at first, but ask God to clean your heart and watch His power. Feel free to share your situation and testimony.
