i was quite humbled by the response my last post had. from job moves, to the health of loved ones to the health of your churches, you shared your prayer needs. i considered it an absolute honor to go before our Father on your behalf.<\/p>\n
this week off from blogging as been quite rejuvenating. it really gave me time to focus on the point of my blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n talking to jenni<\/a> (who i love & helped me with my next tattoo – coming in may) we discussed how many blogs have me listed under “ministry blogs” – next to the likes of nancy beach<\/a>, shaun groves<\/a> and mark batterson<\/a>. when i used to see this, i’d think, “what the heck? no way”. but what i am realizing – even more so over this last week is that is exactly what i have here. a ministry.<\/strong> even when it is just me asking for my own prayer.<\/p>\n yea God!<\/p>\n so i am shifting my blog focus<\/strong>. ok, so this isn’t a HUGE focus shift, because let’s be real, i talk about prayer, missions, helping others or the like quite a bit here. but i want to be a bit more intentional and less willy-nilly.<\/p>\n the first addition at pinkhairedgirl.net\u2013that will remain a constant\u2013is a link for prayer. as a woman in ministry, with the gift of intercession, i want prayer available at all times\u2013for everyone. i sincerely and genuinely want to pray for you. <\/strong><\/p>\n if you have a prayer need<\/strong>: head over to my sidebar, click “need prayer?<\/a>” and you’ll be directed to a prayer submission page. fill it out and it will be submitted directly to me.<\/p>\n i hope you will take advantage of this page and direct others there as well by linking to it, letting others know the opportunity for prayer is available.<\/strong> what we need to really begin believing is that prayer is the fuel behind any church, job, family, you name it. i would love to personally come along side you. <\/strong><\/p>\n the other shift in focus is on to child sponsorship<\/strong>. have you ever considered it? anne<\/a> posts about kids from time to time, but i feel our reading-base may be different enough that i might reach other people with the same message.<\/p>\n every week or so, i will highlight one of the kids in the Compassion International<\/a> program and ask that YOU prayerfully consider sponsoring them. i don’t know if kids will get sponsored as a result of my blog, but i feel a great responsibility. after all, with 200+ unique visitors a day you never know whose heart may be stirred.<\/p>\n rest assured, these shifts in focus will not compromise your pinkhairedgirl.net experience. it is more of my own “oh wow” revelation about what this blog is really all about.<\/p>\n others.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" i was quite humbled by the response my last post had. from job moves, to the health of loved ones to the health of your churches, you shared your prayer needs. i considered it an absolute honor to go before our Father on your behalf. this week off from blogging as been quite rejuvenating. it… Continue reading i’m shifting focus<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,21,48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-child-sponsorship","category-compassion-international","category-prayer","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sherecovery.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
