Thanks Diane!

Thanks Frank :)

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your prayers!

Yes, it is a true story. Sorry, should have made that clearer in my review

I agree. Hearing stories of how God has been at work in other people's lives can help us hold on while things are still tough for us

Thanks Adam!

Baptisms are definitely a great time to have people share. It is fantastic that your church is baptizing so many people!

Based on the responses scrawled in below, I'd say it's probably not be an overly effective method. Makes for some interesting reading though as some people write long responses or have multi-part conversations, all in graffiti.

I write at http://www.joannamuses.com/ . Lately I've been writing about things like how to deal with disappointment, how we know God loves us and what I've learned from reading Jonah and Habakkuk.

Glad people don't report bathroom graffiti on my campus or the police would spend their entire time dealing with it because there is so much of it. For a while we even seemed to have someone who thought graffiti was a good evangelistic method as bible verses and C.S Lewis quotes would appear on the backs of the doors.

I think I end up whining a fair bit of the time too! I think making sure like Hannah that we keep worship as a priority helps stop it turning into a whiny pity party.

I also find praying good things for people who've gotten what I'm disappointed about not having is helpful. Eg. praying for friends starting new jobs while my job hunt is still unsuccessful. Helps get the focus off me, reminds me that God does bless people and helps me remember that blessings often come with challenges.
