I’m late, but I got a December prayer printable worked up for you! This month’s printable combines a prayer journal with a self-examination focus. The Sunday challenge on the back is different this month too, with a weekly check-in! You can print your file off for free by clicking the picture above. I hope you…
I had such good feedback from you about the October prayer printable, so I made a November one for you and will make a December one too! The front of this printable has a self-examination question on the front (from an 1800’s book) and a lot of space for tracking what you are thankful for….
Marginalia: plural noun: notes or embellishments in the margin of a book. I’m still slowly reading through Susan Allibone’s memoir. This time through I’m color coding specific topics that she writes about (self-examination is purple). I absolutely love this excerpt in a letter to her dear friend and had to share it with you.

I’ve been discipling a college student for the last few years and we were discussing our morning routines. She had been doing great for several months, but when she got sick, she wasn’t able to keep up on her full morning routine and she felt like a failure. We talked about how that happens to…
I’m always experimenting and trying new things in different seasons of life, which is how my Prayer Binder came about. There have been seasons where I just about wear it out, then there are seasons where I want to write or journal things and I use a notebook. But for the last month I’ve been…
My friend Heather made a prayer binder a few years ago in a workshop I taught and has been using it ever since. I asked her if she would mind sharing her thoughts with us on her prayer binder and how it has helped her pray more consistently. Introduction Heather: My husband and I met…
You guys, it has been 10 years–A DECADE–since I started sharing about my prayer binder! Since the first posts, it has pretty much had the same backbone, but many different iterations! In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more posts about prayer binders but wanted to walk you through what mine looks like today and…
Every once in a while, in my personal Bible study, I take a biblical term or theme and think about what it actually means, and what it would look like lived out in life. This time I did it on “be watchful.” When I do this, I make three columns; the left column is neglecting…
As a fan of many Puritan writers and pastors, I’ve studied self-examination for years. What used to be a very common Christian practice has fallen out of use with most believers today because we don’t know how to do it, or what it is, or understand how much we need it. Susan showed me not…
The memoir of Susan Allibone is available at a special low price for just a few more days. Be sure to get it (and all the freebies!) before the price goes up next week! But maybe you want to know who this woman was who lived such a life as to inspire a memoir in…
