I had this sign that I got half off at hobby Lobby. I loved it and loved the cute saying but really didn't have a place for it anymore. It's literally been in between my desk and the wall in my office. So I had the great idea of using it for a Prayer Board. A prayer board is a new concept for me but I think it;s going to be an awesome addition to our house and daily life. Sadly I'm very much an"out of sight out of mind" girl. I rely on visual reminders constantly!!! Lately there have been several stories on Facebook that have touched my heart and literally brought me to tears. The amazing thing is I don't know these children or their families but I feel like they are my own children and pray for them daily. I want my children to know about these children too and I want our family to pray for them together and whenever we have a free second. So I decided to paint my cute sign with chalkboard paint. Chalkboard paint has become an obsession to me lately. I think if I could I'd paint an entire wall with it. How freakin' fun would it be to draw all over the wall!!??? Guess who isn't allowing that? Hmmmmm
After I painted it with a couple of coats I then painted the words "Prayer Board" I used a method I found of the awesome website... Pinterest! You print out the font and size you want then you lay it on the board and outline it with a pen. The pen creates kind of a stencil for you. Then all you have to do is fill in the lines with paint.
We will add names to our prayer board whenever needed. It's right by our dinner table so before we eat we'll pray for these friends and then since it's in the center of our home we'll see it in everyday life!
