On the radio this morning, I heard Alistar Begg use this phrase in his prayer before diving into the Word: “Show me myself and show me my Savior.” If I hadn’t been on the interstate, I would have pulled right over and immediately began journaling about this beautiful prayer and the loving conviction in myContinue reading “A PRAYER BEFORE THE WORD”

MY SOLO WRITING RETREAT
This weekend I am doing something I have never done before – taking myself on a solo writing retreat. My goal is to finish the first draft of my novel. Writing this has been an interesting adventure! I have known since day one that God has wanted me to write it, but had no ideaContinue reading “MY SOLO WRITING RETREAT”
A Romantic Gesture
I am not into “sappy” romance, but authentic romantic gestures do get to me. While we were eating lunch out, a man sat down with about 10 family members including grandparents and kids. He stood up and pulled out a letter. (There was no way we couldn’t hear this btw) His letter was to hisContinue reading “A Romantic Gesture”
A Prayer for Writing
I joined the Three Things Challenge where the three words I had to use were MAKE, MINE and MELODY. This challenge has created a prayer for my own writing: Make mine a melody of words that will sing to the depths of the heart and soul of the reader. © Raelyn Pracht 2022

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 These three kings followed the star that shined with royal brightness, guiding them to the Perfect Light: Baby Jesus. They were guidedContinue reading “Epiphany: The Perfect Light”
BACK TO MY JOURNALS
I can’t tell you how many journals I have. They started off as places to take sermon notes, then I kept track of quotes I heard, interesting names, really anything that I may want to reference later. That’s how my journaling started. Then, at the suggestion of a therapist, I began using them to writeContinue reading “BACK TO MY JOURNALS”

THE WISEST MEN
“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11 Whether you call them wise men, magi, or kings does not really matter. What does matter is theyContinue reading “THE WISEST MEN”
