Elijah Project: Remodeled

Alright Ladies and Gents.

I’m pretty sure no one reads or follows along with this, but I’m gonna post about it as if you do anyway. =]

If you’ve followed along with the Elijah Project so far, you’d noticed it’s been a while since I’ve posted. It’s supposed to be daily prayer for countries and it seems as though as soon as I got through the A’s, I burnt out and stopped.

Let me assure you, this is not the case.

When I first started the Elijah Project, God put it on my heart to share with others about how He speaks to me. People often don’t realize that the Lord not only answers prayer, but He will lead them according to the things of His heart as well. I wanted this project to not simply draw me closer to the Lord in my own time with him, but to share with others the cool ways that the Lord often speaks to us.

This isn’t what the Elijah Project has been.

While I loved reading about a new country every day, the project and blog quickly became apathetic. In about two weeks, it seemed as through the heart and passion to seek God through prayer had already transformed to a mediocre, half hearted homework assignment. Every day I’d read stats, write them out in an easy to read format, and then say a quick prayer and go about my day.

How opposite of what the Lord asked of me!

So I’m revamping my Elijah Project style. Instead of 365 daily posts, this is a year of me committing myself to the Lord in prayer. That means most of it is gonna be on my own. When I pray, I actually have to write it all out. I have a journal that is filled not with “dear diary” style writing, but written out as letters to my Father. He writes me back a lot too. In fact most of my journal consists of conversations between the two of us.

So here’s where you get to come in.

I know that through this commitment to true prayer and time between me and Him, and on behalf of others, He’s going to move. In just the few days that I haven’t been doing countries and blogs, He’s already done some pretty cool stuff that I can’t wait to post about.

It’s these stories that you’ll get to read. Not homework, not something that is forced out and required of me. It’s the cool ways that God moves that I just can’t help but tell you about. =]

So if you’re reading this and have followed along with the project, I hope you still keep up. And I am still happy to take any requests that are on your heart for me to pray about.

Thanks for the support through this!
