Can you
hear Me now?
Written by: Kayla Chupp

disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and
show thee great and mighty things which thou
knowest not!'" (J. Hudson Taylor)
We have heard it said before by William Cowper
that "Satan trembles when he sees the weakest
Christian on his knees". Well, I wonder what would
happen to the devil if hundreds of thousands went to
their knees with effective and powerful prayer.
HAVE A PLAN
Be organized. In anything we do if we are not organized or dont know where to start then nothing gets
accomplished. Write prayer requests down and take
one request a day and focus on that one. Start a
prayer journal. For me journaling is how I really feel
like I can get everything out and really tell God what
I am feeling. It also helps to keep record of when
God has blessed you or answered a prayer.
LISTEN
Make sure you also take time to listen to Him. Dont
just spend the entire time saying what you want to
say. We must be quiet enough to hear when God
wants to say something to us.
HAVE NO DISTRACTIONS
19
Find a place where you can get away from everything. It may even be your closet. My mind has
enough distractions in it already that I dont need
anything more to keep my mind from straying.
Block the world out and focus on Christ.

Pray
Often. Pray that the Spirit of the Living God can
put words of life into your tongue. Pray for
wisdom to speak words at the right times.

Compliment
Sincerely. At appropriate times. One of my friends does
not like extra fuss. Its been good to watch for ways to
include words that bless her and dont come across as
flattery which would only irritate her.
Open Conversations
With the visiting girl at church. Or the co-worker
that started last week. Or your grandma who seems
to catch only every other word you say. Or how
about that cute little second grader?

Journal
Some people write their prayers. Others write their
questions, or a poem, or some ideas. Journals with
their words can be a tool to sort out the mixture
of emotions that are a response to life.
Avoid Gossip
Thankfully Gods power is available to curb the
tendencies of the sin filled carnal nature to spread
negative information or to delight in the evils that
others have committed.

Dont forget a flaw for every character, not just the bad guy. It can
make a difference between a quirky character and a Jane. (Clumsiness
doesnt count!)
Never throw out your writing. Not even the littlest paragraph. Save it
for later. You dont know what ideas it could spark. When your older,
trust me - it will be amusing to read.

unplug for hours is more

Its okay to have several projects going! That way, when you get stuck on one you can always
escape to the other. They dont have to be big projects either one could be a short story, or
a song you are inspired to write. Worst case scenario would probably would be you get stuck
on both of them.

The greatest
thrill
Written by: Louisa Friesen
36
if we know our future, but once weve figure out the ins and outs of normal life, we complain that life
is too predictable! Suddenly the simple, out-of-the-ordinary events give us a thrill and we begin hoping
more unexpected events take place!
What is it about me that smiles with anticipation when I see a visiting minister walk up to the pulpit?
Why do the frantic looks (of the ladies at the end of my bench, motionlessly watching a giant praying
mantis crawl the length of the bench in front of them) get me shaking with laughter, while tears roll
down my cheeks. Why is it so funny when a community fellow visits church and brings along his
leashed poodle (Doesnt it look hilarious to see Brother Ron, in his pressed suit coat, getting pawed by
a dog during the sermon?). What is it about driving four hours to a museum in the middle of sleet storm,
(solely because you planned to go this day) that excites me? Why is it adventuresome to run out of
gasoline, in the middle of nowhere, while on an out-of-state trip?

Journaling
Written by: Elisa Knicely
Although many girls Ive come across proclaim that journaling is time-consuming, boring or
completely unnecessary - I have found several exceptional reasons why I believe you should keep
a journal. If not only for your enjoyment for years to come to also enrich your walk with
Christ.
I have compiled a few ways to make your journaling more interesting, and to inspire you to take
this discipline in your everyday life.
LETTERS TO GOD:
Sometimes praying isnt enough and can only be expressed through words on paper. Quite often
it helps me focus and put those feelings into relatable words. Perhaps Im going through a rough
patch - by telling God on paper, maybe I feel as though Im closer to His presence. And looking
back on those prayers, I find it quite encouraging to view my spiritual growth, or a way in which
God showed me His goodness.
41
perspective writing usually makes everything seem smaller than you ever imagined. And trust
me, three years later youll laugh at the insignificance of it all. Ill be honest here, quite a few of
my journals consist of venting. It may be a thing Im struggling with or a specific decision that
Im indecisive about - Im not too sure if thats healthy but goodness does it ever help me think.
DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND: Im sure youve all heard this one. To be honest Im really not faithful
at writing letters of these kinds. Quite often I feel as though as I dont know what to tell my future
husband. There are, however a few reasons why I think it would be interesting. They actually
operate as snapshots of where you are in life right then. For example you may say: Nearly
swamped in studying right now hope youre doing well right now, cuz ya girl is struggling.
What a fun way to freeze time and have a glimpse of what you were like at that age. It will also
remind you to strive for self improvement. We all have expectations for guys, perhaps we take

Lastly,
forgiveness
is
supernatural. Some hurts are so
deep that they seem impossible
to overcome. Corrie ten Boom
endured such hurts. She suffered
greatly at the hand of the Nazis,
losing her freedom, sense of
dignity, and even the lives of those
nearest and dearest to her during
her awful prison-camp experiences.
Years later, her testimony of
forgiveness still challenges us all
It was at a church service in
Munich that I saw him, the former
S.S. man who had stood guard at the
shower room door in the processing
center at Ravensbruck. He was the first
of our actual jailers that I had seen
since that time. And suddenly it was all
therethe roomful of mocking men,
the heaps of clothing, Betsies painblanched face.
He came up to me as the church was
emptying, beaming and bowing. How
grateful I am for your message, Fraulein.
he said. To think that, as you say, He has
washed my sins away!
His hand was thrust out to shake mine.
And I, who had preached so often to the
people in Bloemendaal the need to
forgive, kept my hand at my side.
Even as the angry, vengeful thoughts
boiled through me, I saw the sin of them.
Jesus Christ had died for this man; was I
going to ask for more? Lord Jesus, I
prayed, forgive me and help me to forgive
him.
I tried to smile, I struggled to raise my
hand. I could not. I felt nothing, not the
slightest spark of warmth or charity. And
so again I breathed a silent prayer. Jesus,
I cannot forgive him. Give Your
And so I discovered
that it is not on our forgiveness any more
than on our goodness that the worlds
healing hinges, but on His. When He
tells us to love our enemies, He gives,
along with the command, the love itself.
Perhaps youve had a mountainous
wrong done against you, or maybe
youre just struggling with little
everyday grievances. In any case, Gods
grace and power are available to bring
about a work of forgiveness in your
heart. With much prayer and
perseverance, you can be sure He will
bring you through. triumphantly.

Jean Answers:
I am going to give one answer for both questions.
To start with, you are not seeking a husband. Men are
the seekers, and they need to mature in their walk with
God so they know what to look for in a godly young
Woman. You are called to follow God with all your heart,
soul and mind. Are you reading romance books or
watching romantic movies? If you find yourself focusing
and obsessing on this crush or dreaming about who your
future husband may be, it is time to get active. I am talking
about getting active in guarding your heart and practicing
self discipline. Are you pursuing and focusing on your
relationship with God? Choose to turn your focus away
from yourself and any boy thoughts, and do something
active. Go for a walk in God's creation and talk to God
about how you can focus on Him, look around you for
someone you can serve. Turn your thoughts to helping
others; siblings, parents, no matter how you feel.
1 Timothy 4:12 ...be thou an example of the believers; in
word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in purity.
