WHAT IS A WAR ROOM
This Sunday, my Sunday school class will be starting a new series based on the movie, The War Room. I am really looking forward to this series. I just finished watching the movie, and it was great! If you have not already watched the movie, I highly recommend that you do. I rented mine on television, On Demand, but I am sure there are other places that you can watch the movie.
It is a movie about a family that gets so caught up in the everyday struggles of life, that they let the devil creep in, and create havoc. It teaches us that we should submit to God, pray for all things, and then get out of His way. He is in command!
I hate flying. I get nervous, and worry for days before a flight. It robs me of the joy of the trip. One day my sister and I were talking about this, and she said “Why are you worrying, it is not like you are in control.” It was like a light bulb went off. I was not flying the plane, and “I” had no control of anything. For the first time, I actually enjoyed (mostly tolerated) the flight. I sat by the window, and looked at all the beauty of the mountains and land we were flying over. I knew that God was in control.
The hardest prayer I ever pray is, “Thy will be done.” Why I ever think I can help, or guide, God is beyond me. So, with that said, I look forward to learning how to have a deeper and richer private prayer life.
I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Sunday.

I always love your fashion posts and I think if we lived near each other we could be good friends! We share a lot of common interests! Now that you shared your faith, well that gives us the best connection. Thanks for reviewing that great movie! I bought 2 copies, one for me to lend to friends and one for me to keep. I agree with Marsha it’s great to have sisters in Christ everywhere!
Well now I love you more. I’ve always loved your fashion posts but knowing you are a woman of God and are sensitive to what He wants you to learn…I now read your posts with a new appreciation! It’s fun knowing I have sisters in Christ everywhere!
Such an awesome movie!!! I too long for a closer relationship with Jesus Christ! Thanks for the blessings of such a beautiful song.
Your outfit is adorable
The little girl in the movie that plays Priscilla is Alena Pitts. I grew up in a small town in Iowa of 700 people and attended the Lutheran Church. One of our minister’s daughters was my childhood playmate, and her older sister is Alena’s grandmother. Her name was Miriam Kautsch as a child, but she married and her last name is now Pitts. All of their family is sweet, and her grandchildren are all gorgeous little creatures.
Here is a clip from the movie with Alena. https://youtu.be/PD4_xo4-HI8
I love the connection. I makes everything more real when you know one of the characters. One of my brothers best friends was in a couple of movies. He was Billy Bob in Friday Night Lights, and the chef in Good Burger.
Wonderful message! Thank you!
I too hate to fly, I understand exactly what you’re saying. It’s like worrying is going to somehow “help” have a safe flght, lol.
I know Amy. Unfortunately, worry could have been my middle name. That is something I am trying to work on.
I LOVE that skirt!!!
Looking beautiful as always! Thank you for being open about your faith. I really appreciated the message behind War Room. I think it’s great that Christian movies are being made and hope many people support them so they will continue. Did you see Fireproof? If not, rent that one. You’ll like it, too. God bless you!
No, I didn’t Lori. Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to rent that soon.
