I receive email newsletters from Nancy Leigh DeMoss (Revive Our Hearts Ministries) and she posed a challenge in a recent message. Actually she gave options for multiple challenges (involving husbands, your pastor, your pastor's wife, and the television). Check out this link and decide on the best challenge for you and your situation. I think all four of them our worthy of consideration and any of the four could be a catalyst for spiritual growth in our lives.Give it a try it could change your life!

Thanks, Robin! :)
That does look like a good idea. We'll see how it goes. ;)

I've done the husband encouragement challenge in the past, but plan to do it again when Rick gets home. It will be somewhat easier this time because when I did it before I had to remember to look up the days challenge and now she has it set up to send you an email each day - works for me.
I'm doing the Pray for your Pastor and Pastor's wife challenge now too.
The TV challenge is one I've got under control already, but I think I'd like to sign up just to see what its about. Not sure if I told you, but about three years ago I quit watching tv for pleasure because I was finding myself planning my life around which crime was on... Not good... Now I don't watch crime shows and occasionally watch the weather or news programs.
I think we could all use some more postive encouragement in our lives. I'm going give the husband encouragement challenge during the month of August. I'll let you know it goes.
Roz says...Thanks Robin :o)
Robin, I'm back. Thanks. Not everyone misses my words. Your sweet!!! How is that baby doing? I bet you look wonderful. I know, pregnant people don't like the way they look, but I think they always look beautiful! (pregnant people, I'm silly)
I decided to do the husband challenge, and I am also going to begin the first of August. Our 33rd anniversary is August 23, so I will take this challenge as a gift to Paul. I hope it does some permanent good! I have a feeling it will. Thanks for posting this opportunity! I've already printed out my 30 day assignment sheets. I'm anxious to begin!
Roz - I'm glad you checked out the challenge. I'll probably wait until August to do it again too.
Julie - Welcome Back! I've missed you! A friend took some pg pics of me today - if you send me an email address I will email you. You can put your email address in as a comment and I will delete it after I've written it down. Or you could just ask Kay for my email address and send me an email - whichever works for you.
Carol - What I like about the new way they are doing the challenges is that they send you an email reminder each day. Rarely a day goes by that I don't at least check my email, but there are days...so a printed copy is good to have also.
All - maybe we should share some testimonials as to how the challenges are going/have gone for us.
I'm going to "try" and do the husband encouragement challenge. I'll let you know how it goes as I "try" to do it. **smile**
Love, L oxo
I chose the Husband challenge.
Linda - we will all try together and encourage each other along :)
Julie - Thanks for your address - I sent a test email already and deleted your message to take it off (not that too many people read my blog anyhow). I'm excited that several are going to do the husband encouragement challenge. I think it will do us all good!
I like #1 the best !! :o) But I guess i will do #4.
I've been opening my email and reading the challenge, and my husband just happens to be sitting there. He's been looking at me strangely after I say "encouraging words". (lol...it's kind of funny and we've both been getting a laugh out of it)....and he doesn't even know anything about the challenge! :)
Love, L
Papa - Since you like # 1 the best you could change it to be a wife encouragement project :) The TV project is good too!
Linda - I'm glad you are taking the challenge :) Let me know how it goes and maybe he will take the initiative and encourage you too, but even if it doesn't happen as we would hope we are to do what God wants of us...it would just be a positive side effect if it did happen to go both ways :)
Excellent challenge. I like the husband one too. I will try it.
Thanks for your friendship and your encouragement.
Back and still tired from my trip.
God bless,
Tiffany
Tiffany - Glad you are trying the husband challenge. Let us know how it goes :)
Your trip pictures were lovely! Looks like you had a blast!
I changed my profile picture to one taken a couple days ago and I thought it would change even past pictures in the comment section, but it doesn't appear that it did - hmmm.
Robin - i like #1 just the way it is! i would never think of changing it! it has a great purpose! i just will have to get mama to read it! She is definitely my #1 fan!
Just dropping by to see how you are doing! Hope you and baby are both doing GREAT!! God bless you!
Papa - You are too much! I'm sure Mama has the encouragement project down without even having seen it yet (she probably could have written it).
Mel - thanks for stopping in and checking on "us." I see my doctor on the 31st and I might just post my first pregnancy picture (shame on me for waiting this long -21 weeks) with an update from my doctor's visit. My husband gets back from his mission trip to Alaska on Wednesday - he's been gone since the 19th.
Robin, I love this picture of you! For some reason whatever you had before, Mcafee blocked it out, so all I ever saw was a big red 'M' for you, but now I get to see "beautiful you"! :)
Love, Linda oxo
Cheryl from church took it the other day because I realized I haven't had any pregnancy pictures taken yet...tsk tsk... Of course for this purpose I felt like it needed to be just a head shot. I will post a full shot later...
