Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

a reassurance to readers that faith in God is awesome, that prayers are truly heard, and that miracles really do happen.

My Stupid Talent Was a Great Blessing

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

all about prayer journaling!

Wondering how to start a prayer journal?  I can help! Here is an easy “how to” guide!! How to Start a Prayer Journal (in 3 easy steps)

Staying connected to and with God through a physical, tangible, letter, prayer, picture, coloring page or collage helps me, personally.  It has helped me get through depression.  It’s help me hear what God wants me to think and focus on.  It helps me express myself and stay focused in prayer! 

There are some many secular benefits to journaling – add prayer and  . . . wow!  And for those of us that lack the “Pinterest Craftiness”, it really allows a creative outlet!

5 Benefits of Prayer Journaling

I believe in prayer journaling so much, I wrote a guided prayer journal for young Catholic girls!

The Be Yourself Journal combines fun games (like “would you rather” and “truth or dare”) with wisdom from Scripture and the Saints.  The Be Yourself Journal gives girls the option to color on every page, and promotes meditation with powerful quote coloring pages.  There is so much fun – and reassurance of God’s love for the individual girl – on each and every page.  Every young girl should have this book – and every mom would love the nostalgia of filling out her own too!

Prayer journaling is something we can truly do with all Christians – it’s a great way to bond with and remember we do have a lot in common!

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

Pro-love, Pro-life and Pro-adoption

And yes, all of those are connected!  Part of the reason why the blog started was to share our families journey of Pursuing an Adoption Without an Agency: Part 1

While we on that journey, we started praying the Spiritual Adoption prayer – and witnessed more than one miracle through it.  I now speak about this miracle at churches, pro-life events, on radio shows and anywhere people will listen!

Our family has been so blessed by the gift of adoption!  I love promoting adoption and crisis pregnancy centers.  I believe so many women do not realize how much help is available for women who choose life – whether or not they are ready to parent.  I believe so many women do not know how many groups would help them parent.  I believe sometimes God calls a woman to choose adoption, after really looking at parenting first.

Prayer Wine Chocolate is . . .

a platform that celebrates other Catholic Christian writers, businesses, and social media influencers.

Before I started blogging, I knew I wanted to do two things: share our adoption journey with others who feel called to adopt; and promote other bloggers (like Annie from Catholic Wife, Catholic Life).  That desire to promote others and birthed a whole new website and dream.  Together with Sara from To Jesus, Sincerely, 

Catholic Social Media Influencers

has been founded!  We are bringing promotion of Catholics to a whole new level!  If you are interested in being in our directory, contact us and let’s start chatting!

We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . . Why? Well b We've been watching THE CHOSEN . . .

Why?  Well because I could not watch yet another episode of America's Funniest Home Videos (now called AFV or as my 5 year old son calls it "epic fails").

I will be honest with you, I watched the first episode years ago and thought, "this is boring".

But I kept hearing about it and all I heard were positive things.

I watched Season 2 begin Live on Facebook, and I did like it - but I didn't watch any more than those two LIVE episodes that I can remember.

I have been wanting to watch it, but just couldn’t find the motivation- then I thought I would enjoy it more if my husband and I watched it together. 
Then thought, this is the perfect show to watch as a family!

When I was growing up, there were certain nights we all watched the same show:
The Dukes of Hazard
Family Ties, Growing Pains, and dare I say it - The Cosby Show?
My younger siblings would watch what was known as TGIF - Full House and Family Matters

Today, we have way to many choices.  Everyone wants a turn to pick a show.
This show, The Chosen, is bringing us together as a family.

My 5 year old asks, "Can we watch The Chosen tonight?"
My 10 year old says he doesn't like it . . .then he scoots up next to me and says he actually does like it.

My daughter falls asleep on my lap while we watch it.

And I'm happy to report, I've laughed out loud a few times!  I'm also looking forward to watching it again with my family (we sit down a couple times a week to watch an episode!)

Have you watched it?  Tell us in the comments!

Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggl Prayers that filled my head and heart when struggling with infertility:

🌹 lots of novenas to Saint Therese’
✏️ many letters to God in my journal… some addresses to Jesus, some to Our Loving Father… others, I can’t recall. Lots of pouring my heart out.
📝 Letters to Saints… I remember writing to Saint Nicholas… patron Saint of children and honestly, infertility is extra heavy around Christmas… so many dreams would feel out of reach. My heart believes in miracles and treasures memories of jolly old Saint Nick… it just made sense to me.
📿 many Rosaries with friends 
And one more thing that I can recall at this moment…
A written description of the children I envisioned being mine.
There were 3.
One loved science. One had a very special bond with my brother. I don’t recall being specific about boys v girls.
But I described them.
Maybe that was how I surrendered my prayer to God.
If you are struggling with infertility… never give up on prayer.

There’s a beautiful song you might have heard ti There’s a beautiful song you might have heard titled In Jesus Name (God of Possible)
This song was created from an entry in Katy Nichole's prayer journal!
It has gone on to impact millions of people worldwide, and that number continues to grow every day!

I highly recommend listening to this song… and maybe even writing part of the words - if not all- in your prayer journal.

I had to share this with you! Please give prayer journaling a try… God only know what beautiful words and melodies will be revealed to you!

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name

I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name, in Jesus name

I speak the name of all authority
Declaring blessings, every promise
He is faithful to keep
I speak the name no grave could ever hold
He is greater, He is stronger
He's the God of possible

I pray for your healing
That circumstances would change
I pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus name
I pray that a breakthrough would happen today
I pray miracles over your life in Jesus name
In Jesus name

Come believe it
Come receive it
Oh, the power of His Spirit is now forever yours
Come believe it
Come receive it
In the mighty name of Jesus, all things are possible
I pray for your healing
That circumstances will change
I pray that the fear inside will flee in Jesus name
