Posts: 15,530 Best Show: 754.59 Experience: 2 # of Shows: 57 My Mood:  |  A revival in the land... Well, way back in March we had a thread called "For the Christians on Chef Success - for those who don't want to talk about religion ignore" Here was the main post: Quote:
Well, I got thinking about this again this past weekend and want to revive the part about the 3-2-1 Plan in our spiritual lives. Hopefully we can do without the debate or have some healthy debate elsewhere. I know, I know, something is going to happen and someone will end up getting offended. However, I am an Independent Consultant and run my business with my beliefs. I joined Pampered Chef because of the principles the company was founded on and without my faith in Christ, I am not where I am today as a person or as a Consultant. So, how can I not share and talk about my faith and want to be encouraged in my walk? So, if you want some encouragement, some challenge in your spiritual life, join in. If you are looking to debate, please try to keep it on a separate topic thread. I am not trying to offend anyone, just want to try to avoid conflict in advance and be an encouragement. If anyone wants to know what I specifically believe or where I go to check, feel free to PM me or check the links in my new blog that shows where we go and what we believe. | |

Posts: 15,530 Best Show: 754.59 Experience: 2 # of Shows: 57 My Mood: | Here was one of my previous concepts Kacey: "I work full-time but my husband is in full-time ministry as a missionary at a camp so often I get stressed and focused on having to make the money to pay the bills to keep him there and don't have the drive or focus on ministry...or go through season's of life where I get a little burned out and need a rest. Maybe you can start by finding 3 people at each of your shows to pray about 2 times a week and check back in with them a month later...maybe an "out of the box" call and see how their life is. If you talk to people at checkout, you find out all kinds of stuff...they have a spouse, kids, whatever that can ALWAYS use prayer. If you keep eyes and ears open at shows, people tell each other about a lot of things. Maybe if they tell you, you can say...I believe strongly in prayer, can I be in prayer for your _______." Another person wanted to witness to 3 people a day, work on 2 worship songs a week and something else...can't remember the 3rd thing she had... Things like that...make a 3-2-1 to fit your spiritual life and try to stick to it. |

Posts: 5,065 Best Show: 1200 Experience: 1+ # of Shows: gobs My Mood: | Pray for 3 leaders of this country each day Refrain from saying something negative at least twice a day memorize one verse per week? Again...I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, so I'll go back to the drawing board. DH is home from work and wants to go out and run errands, so I'll be on later today. Maybe even with a better idea! |

Posts: 6 Best Show: 2147 Experience: 4 # of Shows: | I like this idea. And my pastor just gave us a challenge to memorize a scripture about something that we have struggled with during 2007. I like the pray for 3 people a day, memorize two scriptures a week, and read one chapter a day! Thanks for starting this thread. I'm going to print my 3-2-1 and hang it in front of me! |

Posts: 7,742 Best Show: 1586 Experience: 5 # of Shows: 90 My Mood:  | I can be such a negative person towards my family...my kids especially. I will look for THREE TIMES EACH DAY to say something positive to them! Pray at least twice a day, and spend time reading/studying my bible at least once per day. I am starting a BSF bible study next Wednesday and that will include daily "homework" (that doesn't sound very good...but I need something that will hold me accountable to spend time reading and studying and this study will!) Please pray that they have an opening for Evan in their kid's room so I am able to attend!! Thanks Janet for starting a new thread with this as the topic! |

Posts: 18 Best Show: Experience: # of Shows: |  Great idea When I joined the Pampered Chef it was so I could expand my territory (influence for Christ) and since then I have gotten lost in that pursuit and instead focused more on growing my business instead of living for Christ and making the difference for Him with the customers I meet. Thanks for reminding me to get back to what God would have me do and remember why I started my business in the 1st place. I am all for pray for 3 people per day, call 2 people for praise reports and focus on the 1 reason that I am in business today - my savior Jesus Christ |

Posts: 3,038 Best Show: 1966 Experience: 3+ # of Shows: 265 My Mood: | A very wise woman in another thread suggested a PC Blessing journal... I will be using that to keep on track with what God is doing all around about me! I'm going to pray about this 3 2 1 for my walk... I'm stuggling with a pastor and his wife and family... and I'm a preachers kid so I know how that sounds but she and her kids hate it here and he is resistant to the changes our body is asking for and it's just SO hard... that post about praying for those you dislike hit me squarly between the eyes... that is SO SO SO HARD!!!!!!! It's easier to be irritated isn't it? Thanks for being obedient and posting that because God knew I needed to read it. |

Posts: 5,065 Best Show: 1200 Experience: 1+ # of Shows: gobs My Mood: | My cat woke me up three times last night, twice an hour and ONE too many times! Kidding, I'm off to bed and will do my prayers for leaders, I didn't do so good on the saying two positive things vs negative things...and Satan so loves a strife filled home, and I don't remember what my one was, but I'm sure it was memorizing a verse. I'll have to see where the Holy Spirit leads me on that one...so many verses and so little time!  Later my little prayer buddies. |

Today, I've been very busy at work, hopefully encouraged a few people, prayed for many and we'll see what gets thrown at me - the day isn't over! |
