Testimony by Val Walton

Good morning everyone, As you know on my Facebook page and on my twitter I am always encouraging everyone to share their testimony if they have one and Val emailed me hers and it was truly a blessing! Remember that in Revelation 12:11 it says that we overcome by the words of our testimony. I hope you are blessed as much as I was by it: Hi, My name is Val Walton. I saw your tweet about sharing my testimony, so I thought I would share. I was a runner. I would train hard for races. I was up at the crack of dawn, training and running all over Birmingham, AL, for the October 2011 Marine Corps Marathon that I would ultimately run with a dear friend. I also was disciplined in getting my miles in for my half-marathon training and making my long runs. God used an injury and 1 Corinthians 9: 24-25 and Acts 20:24 to show that I was like most runners devoted, disciplined and going hard after a crown through running that would not last and, before God, had no eternal value when I was not goin...

Prayers For The Month of April

Happy April! I am so sorry I have been away for a while, but I am back by the grace of God. School got extremely hectic, but my thoughts and prayers were always with you! It's amazing how the page has received so much views and attention! Thanks for your support! So as we know this is the month that we commemorate the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! We think about the love that kept Him on the cross for you and me. So for the month of April I am asking that we pray for three things: 1) Patience so that we can wait on God's timing. " But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."   Romans 8:25 (ESV) 2) The love of God. Christ died just for me and you because of love, let's pray to be His hands extended and show that love each and every day! " But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. " Romans 5:8 (KJV) 3) A spirit of gratef...

Prayers For The Month of August

Happy August! We have officially gotten through seven months of the year of 2014 and for this we give God thanks and all the praise and glory! We are nearing the end of summer and some of us are going back to school, taking our vacations before going back to work. Also we have goals we have set at the beginning of the year that we are still trying to achieve before the year is out. So for this month I want us to pray for a few things. 1) Pray for Focus! Whatever goal you have set before you know that, Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me."  2) Pray that God will show you His love for you! Romans 5:8 says, "B ut God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." There is not a lover like God, and no one will ever love you as much as He loves you! 3) Pray for Patience to wait on whatever you have asked God for. James 1:2-4 (KJV) says, " My brethren, count it all joy when ye fa...

Prayers For The Month of July

Happy July ladies! We have to give thanks to God, we have made it through half of the year of 2014! In this month ladies, I know the ongoing engagement and wedding frenzy continues…We just have to continue to trust God and wait on Him! So for the month of July ladies I want you to pray for a few things. 1) Pray for Patience to wait on whatever you have asked God for. James 1:2-4 (KJV) says, " My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;   Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.   But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." 2) Pray that you will continue to trust God and stand on His promises. For Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) says, " Trust in the   Lord   with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." 3) Pray for a heart like Christ. Pray that you could have a heart that is full of ...

Are You Like Sarah?

Good morning to all, I am sorry I have been away for a while, but I am back. School has truly been a balancing act this year. However, I have still been busy studying and growing in Christ along with balancing family, school and friends. At the beginning of the year I decided to start studying women of the Bible and it has been a truly life changing experience to really look into the lives of these women and see myself. The first woman I want to talk about is Sarah.             Sarah is one of the most beautiful women in the Bible and, her name means, “Chieftainness” or “Princess”.   Every time I reflect on the story of Sarah I remember her precisely as the wife of Abraham who could not wait on God and took matters into her own hands, a strong willed woman. Then after creating the problem, she treated Hagar, her handmaid, horribly. One could term Sarah as a “diva.” Beautiful, married to such a rich, intelligent and most impor...

Prayers for the Month of February

Good morning to you all, I just pray that the 31 days of praying for your future husbands has been refreshing and it brought you closer to God as it did for me. It has made me trust in Him more while waiting on the one He has in store just for me. It brought a sense of hope knowing that my future husband is coming soon. Happy February to all and this month the spirit laid on my heart to prayer for/against three things this month. As we all know this month is the month of love, but the Holy Spirit said that we as single women waiting should concentrate on: 1) Praying for Strength Let's remember that in 2 Corinthians 2:19 it says, " And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." So let's continue to prayer for strength in this season in our lives. 2) Praying for Patience Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew theor strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, ...
