What’s stopping you?
The prayer of a righteous man has great power as it is working (James 5:16).
I’m a writer and teacher in love with two men: Jesus and my husband, Matt. [You might not find this funny, but I laugh at myself, so it all balances out.]
Don’t miss out on the chance to start your week off right with a 5-minute video devotional from Bianca, sent to your inbox each week.
…I would give as much Love as I can…and hope it is epidemic… 🙂
You and me BOTH 🙂
Gutentag my German friend!
Wow, pretty simple, but really stinkin thought provoking. Must ponder this one…
Right?! I was driving to work and thought, if I had one person who I would help, who would it be and why?
Then I realized that I have at least some capacity to change the situation. Gnarley stuff.
Hey, I want to talk to you about the GlobalChurch stuff. I'm not sure I fully understand your question…
I would upgrade my friend's bathroom. They're moving into a new parsonage (and they have 3 babies under 3 and one on the way –aka not a whole lotta dough) and the bathroom is HIDEOUS.
It makes me seem shallow but I would want to do that for her.
Funny, I was challenged by this idea in my devotions last night. Yes, we can pray for things but we also need to put some actions behind our prayers.
SUCH a good idea!
And no, it's not vain.
Surprise my mom as other family is visiting there this weekend. (And help her out to because she soooooo has that 'martyr thing' down and she'll be going on and on about how she had to cook and change sheets and stuff. She secretly loves it but she also secretly loves to go on and on about it. It's cute. 😉 )
Hmmmm.
By the way, now I'm going to be hearing 'One' by U2 in my head the rest of the day, I'm sure. HA!
Love you!

i would give my FULLEST attention and love to my son. often times i am distracted, busy or "life" (work, church, friends, the internet, myself) gets in the way…. especially coz i homeschool him… and i work full time… and as a single mom there are days when im stressed out or im too tired to even have a decent conversation with him. we have a lot of quantity time but it is not really quality.
last week God reminded me that children are a reward from Him… and i must learn treasure this reward diligently.
I would speak and write to wake up the American church help girls and women forced into sex trafficking in the USA.
The only thing stopping me is God not opening a door for me to do that yet.
Have you checked out NotForSale? They are an awesome organization doing just that!
Great question! I was thinking of this recently. So often we pray about a change we see that needs to happen, we pray for solutions in people's lives, we pray for a change in their circumstances, etc. I imagine God giggling, saying "oh, child….why are you praying about this when you can simply do it…YOU have the solution already…just DO something!" Sometimes I can be pretty dense though and it takes awhile for me to realize that God has put the solution of helping others in my hands. Now, I'm off for the day….and thanks to this post, in search for someone to help! Thanks Bianca!
Eeep! I need to think about this one a bit more.
Wow, this is deep. Just ONE…
So many times I've sat and thought of something or been challenged to actually do it, and I've thought "Well…God hasn't told me to do it."
But then…God hasn't told me not to either.
Obviously there are things that we shouldn't do, things that aren't pleasing to Him, but when there is something that could further God's kingdom, that could bring glory to His name, then shouldn't we just go until He says stop?
I don't know…maybe there's a lot more to it than that but…I can sadly say that I am guilty of using God as an excuse NOT to do something for Him, which is ridiculous.
So…I can't think of one thing in particular other than, whatever need comes into my view, just filling that need, with a joyful servant's heart.
Because that is something we can do every day wherever we are.
Make them feel like they matter (because they do!!!)
I'd make a way for a dear friend to get pregnant so She and Her Husband would not have to go through what they are going through. You know, like snap my fingers and bam…shes pregnant. Please keep "Her" in your prayers. People keep asking her..so are your pregnant yet?…
thats my one thing
I would take over my moms debts. She recently lost her job and is the main bread winner in our family. She puts on a tough front but I know she's struggling more than she has in many many years.
I guess the main thing stopping me is that I am barely making 2 ends meet myself. I wish I had the capacity to lighten her financial burden by paying most if not all her bills myself.
All my prayers…
This is the toughest one. I love this one!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I have observed that car insurance businesses know the motors which are at risk of accidents along with other risks. Additionally , they know what types of cars are susceptible to higher risk and also the higher risk they’ve the higher the particular premium charge. Understanding the very simple basics connected with car insurance will allow you to choose the right kind of insurance policy that may take care of your requirements in case you happen to be involved in any accident. Thank you sharing the ideas on your own blog.

Another thing I have noticed is that for many people, poor credit is the response to circumstances over and above their control. For example they may have already been saddled by having an illness so they really have more bills going to collections. It may be due to a job loss or inability to do the job. Sometimes divorce can truly send the budget in an opposite direction. Thanks for sharing your notions on this website.

Good work, beautiful blog with great informational content. This is a really interesting and informative content.
These days of austerity as well as relative panic about getting debt, many individuals balk up against the idea of utilizing a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or perhaps pay for a holiday, preferring, instead just to rely on a tried as well as trusted procedure for making settlement – cash. However, in case you have the cash on hand to make the purchase 100 %, then, paradoxically, that is the best time just to be able to use the credit card for several reasons.
