I am in the midst of my 21 days of prayer for my son and it has been going really well.  Have I seen a HUGE change in Bowden?  NO!  He is a six year old boy and he acts just like a six year old boy.  However, I have seen a huge change in myself.  I had been floundering a bit in my walk for a while now.  By floundering I do NOT mean my faith was shaken.  I had just gotten caught up in the every day craziness of my life and was not spending much time close with our Lord.  He wants that.  We NEED that.  I would throw up prayers here and there, I would read the Bible each day but I was not spending any time at the the feet of our Savior.  He wants that.  We NEED that. 
I have found much more joy in each day.  I carve out some time every afternoon to read through the devotional, pray through the Scriptures and then underline each of the verses in a Bible that I will someday give to Bowden.  When I pray, I am down on my knees.  I have found that there are two ways that I pray well, journaling and on my knees.  Right now I am really feeling called to pray on my knees.
I love that each afternoon I tell my children "Mommy is going to do Bible time".  I am hoping it is a tangible example of what God has called us to. 
My life is good.  My life is crazy.  My heart overflows with desire for my children to walk a worthy life with our Lord.  Praying the Scriptures each day for that to happen has given me a peace about this.  Suddenly I feel the urge to pray ALL THE TIME.  I am once again noticing that call to stop the midst of something to pray for someone. Prayer begets prayer, I think.  My focus is no longer on myself and what I want.  It is focused on seeking God's will (and specifically for my son). 
I am excited for this to continue.  I have GREAT plans.  When I am done praying for Bowden, I will get another Bible and pray for Evynn.  When I am done with Evynn, I will do the same for Kailyn, then Ryen, then Macyn and so on.  After I have gone through one time, I will start over again.  The thought of presenting each of them the Word of God that I prayed from throughout their childhood when they are launched into adulthood fills me with excitement.
There is NOTHING AS POWERFUL as prayer.  God has called me to my knees and that is where I want to stay!
