S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 days of prayer…

May 21, 2009 in Uncategorized by SHMILYtime | 1 comment

Showing our husbands how much we love them can also come in ways they may not see or even be aware of…

Covering your husband in prayer is so important, and regardless of where your marriage is right now (great, okay, or falling apart)… this event is to simply make sure that your man is being prayed for every day for a month… regardless of how YOU feel.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie OMartian (http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=919244).

WHAT YOU’LL DO: Read a chapter a day, which includes a prayer. (Even if you’ve read this book before, you can just do the prayers and skip the reading… the point is for you to PRAY!)

FYI: Daily reminders to pray for your husband will be sent out through facebook messages to you. (So, if you don’t have an account already… get to it! tee hee…)  You don’t have to discuss anything (and no "spouse bashing" will be allowed) but can share if you’d like. You can also leave links to your blog posts if you make any as well. Please spread the word to others and join the event on facebook!  Click the following link to get there… http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1206712385&ref=name#/event.php?eid=79989390679&ref=mf or you look up S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 days of prayer… too.

THE POINT: To get wives praying for their husbands… that’s it! Doesn’t matter what the background, denomination, or current state your life is in… Let’s get those hubbies covered in prayer and stand back and expect great things to happen to them, our marriages, and even ourselves as we petition God on their behalf!

(And might I add, that if things are really bad, that this is a great time to do this! When my marriage was falling apart and my husband and I were ready to divorce, I came across this book, and it not only changed my marriage… but it changed me as well!)

The 30-Week Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives Booklet!

February 5, 2007 in Uncategorized by SHMILYtime | Permalink

For those of you interested, I’ve made a new booklet to encourage your husband.  This is from the 30-day encouragement challenge but has been re-configured to stretch into 30 WEEKS and is being hosted at A CLEAN HEART Forum.  You must register to be a part of the forum, and then request to be a part of this group once you’re activated.  It’s a private group to keep it intimate and encourage each other as we seek to become better wives and encourage our husbands.

You can click the following link to get the booklet:
THE 30-WEEK HUSBAND ENCOURAGEMENT CHALLENGE FOR WIVES BOOKLET

Print out this booklet (which has the links from other sites for parts of the booklet). It will tell you where to put the pages gathered from other websites as well (which include the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge from Revive Our Hearts (that we’re doing weekly) as well as something from Door Posts’ site.

Don’t forget to print out the booklet on BOTH SIDES!

Lovingly,

NEW! The 30-WEEK Husband Encouragement Challenge Coming!

February 1, 2007 in Uncategorized by SHMILYtime | Permalink

If you haven’t already, please join us for the Husband Encouragement Challenge from Revive Our Hearts.  We’re excited, as the daily challenge was proving difficult to be online every day on A CLEAN HEART Forum, so we’ve adjusted the challenge to a WEEKLY challenge!  This will be easier for disscussion on the forum, as well as bless our husbands even longer!

If you’re interested, the challenge will be starting this coming Monday!  A re-vamped organizer/journal is in the works and will be available tonight.  If you’d like to be encouraged further, stop by A CLEAN HEART Forum and sign up so you can talk with other women who are participating in the challenge too (The Encouragement board is a closed board to promote an intimate group to share in… once you sign up, you can let me know you want to be in the challenge and we can move you in!)!

Lovingly,
Amy

30-ENCOURAGEMENT CALENDAR (print this on the back page of the "Prayer for My Husband" pages)

MAKING THE 30-DAY ENCOURAGEMENT BOOKLET:
When putting your booklet together, be sure to print on both sides of your paper.  I’ve put mine together in the following way:

  • The cover page (blank on back side) is taken from the Prayer Journal.  You can print out the entire prayer journal and then just put the prayer pages where they belong.
  • Prayer for My Husband pages (taken from the Door Posts’ site)
  • Encouragement Challenge Calendar
  • 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives pages
  • 15 Ways to Please Your Husband page (printed on the back page of the Encouragement Challenge)
  • Praying for Your Husband pages (31 Days of Prayer) taken from Revive Our Hearts’ site)
  • Prayer Journal for 30-Day Challenge pages (beginning with "Before Beginning", followed with the prayer journal pages, and then lastly the "When it’s All Said and Done" page)

There you go!  When you’re all done putting it together, you will have a wonderful booklet ready to help you bless your husband!  May the Lord be glorified as we seek new ways to spark our marriage and fufill our purpose as wives!
Lovingly,
Amy
