Want to know your super power-I'll tell you how! But let me also ask you...What makes a day an A+ day for you?What are some great movies you’ve seen this summer?Is God showing you a part of yourself lately that you’d like him to change?Join 13 year-old Katie and be inspired to journal your prayers about all these things! (In the book, Katie’s Seventh Grade Prayer Journal, it’s August 4th, 1992.)In today’s podcast, Katie meets a new crush, goes to see three movies with her BFF Rachel, Rachel’s mom from Alabama and Rachel’s brother and friends.Also, Katie bemoans the fact that Rachel is going to the high school camp for Hume Lake, and Katie, being a year younger, will have to settle for the junior high Hume Lake camp!Listen in for a fun journey in prayer that will also inspire you to journey and journal with God in prayer!Summer movies and Hume Lake:1992 summer movies that Katie and Rachel went to see on this day and why I don’t recommend them… Honestly, once in a while, a movie marathon is fun. But there are many better, more life giving ways to spend my time. I probably should have gone swimming instead but I’m sure I wanted to be with my friend, Rachel.Far & AwayHistoric flick about Irish immigrants, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Has inappropriate scenes so screen the review to know when to skip scenes. Why I love this story: I’m Irish and I love the acting.Why you should not spend your time on this movie: It’s heavy on the love story and not that much on history.Patriot GamesAnother historical fiction, and maybe a love story, too? I can’t remember.I think it stars Mel Gibson.Alien 3Man, I love Ripley! I honestly didn’t remember ever seeing this movie but if you love suspense and sci-fi, this might be for you. Check the IMDB parental warnings before watching.Might have to skip some scenes for inappropriate skin.Hume Lake!!I went to Hume Lake many times and recommend you go, too!This is a Christian youth camp and it’s one of my dreams to go back as a speaker one day! The summer after 8th grade, God used speakers there to ignite a call to missions work, which I did many times. *KSGPJ: Katie's Seventh Grade Prayer Journal#endofsummer #heatwave #prayerjournal #nextgen #youthgroup #youthcamp #proverbs31woman #Augustgoals #humelake #blockbustermovies #emotionallyhealthyspiritualityKatie's blog at www.KatieSpeaking.com Get the book here: www.KatiesSeventhGradePrayerJournal.com I'd love to hear from you!

What makes a day a great day for you?Another mindset trick is to become aware and plan for the things that make a great day, a great day! For example, when you focus on what it means to thrive in your relationship with God, then, anytime you do those things, it feels like a win. It’s a mini celebration. We were created to get a high from mini celebrations! It’s one of the many reasons we are told to be thankful. And we can activate thankfulness by thinking about, and doing the things that we know delight the heart of God. We don’t do these things to earn his love. We do this these things because he loves us.

Plans not working out? Need help with relationships? No worries! We can pray about that! And we'll tackle both on this video/podcast!  www.katiesseventhgradeprayerjournal.com is where you will find the book for your own journaling! July 25th is what we’re reading today in the book!  Video link: https://youtu.be/46o_y3TjcxsAbout relationships: 1. Focus on what you WANT the relationship to be like! 2. Learn the skills to communicate 3. Share those wants with your friend! 4. Remember the vision of the relationship is for both of you to (fill in the blank here! For me, it’s that we’d both thrive in Jesus!) And when plans go south, my favorite perspective to go to is “Jesus you are in control! Help me trust you. Help me See things from your perspective!” (Which is easier when you’re reading his word morning and night- because you know him more and can have your mind renewed with his truth!

Feeling like a failure & what to do about it?You are not alone!One of the coolest things ever when feeling like a failure is that Jesus says we can turn it around asap!How?Repentance and communication!Repentance is recognizing what you’re doing that is wrong AND turning away from the wrong and doing the right thing instead. Sometimes it’s not so much a right and wrong as it is a I said I would do something, now things have changed and that thing is no longer a priority. In either case, evaluate if the next right step is communication.Join me for the Katie Speaking Live True Podcast where we continue our summer series in reading together Katie’s Seventh Grade Prayer Journal and come to see that whatever the failure, Jesus invites us to come back to him and his ways.

It's July 23rd in Katie's Seventh Grade Prayer Journal! This episode, I'm recording LIVE from a Waffle House in Nashville!  Why? Because I am super busy, picking up my Uber rental car and found myself having to WAIT for a rental car to be brought to the Uber rental location!  I highlight this because life is going to have busy seasons and busy days-but as we make it a point each day to connect with the Father, Father God through his word, reading the Bible and through prayer and worship, we will find ourselves living with a higher average rate of JOY!!!  Also, in today's journal entry, 13 yo Katie shares how much she loves the summer desert monsoon rains!!!  The journal has a picture of the monsoon in New Mexico!

What is child abuse and what to do when you see it?From July 20th in Katie’s Seventh Grade Prayer Journal!In today’s reading, Katie is both solemn and thankful. Solemn because neighbors reveal they are being abused. Katie is able to get them on the path to help by calling a government office for children. Also, Katie has been praying for God to show her why she’s in NEw MExico when it appears nothing of value has happened there until now… God shows that her time has not been wasted. Katie is able to speak hope into the neighbors’ situation and takes action to end the abuse and begin the healing, with the help of the Lord.1-800-843-5678 is the number to call for help; it's the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.More details Watch here:Luke 17:1-3 1Jesus said to His disciples, “Stumbling blocks [temptations and traps set to lure one to sin] are sure to come, but woe (judgment is coming) to him through whom they come! 2It would be better for him if a millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea, than for him to cause one of these [a]little ones to stumble [in sin and lose faith].https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubpdfs/whatiscan.pdfKatie's blog at www.KatieSpeaking.com Get the book here: www.KatiesSeventhGradePrayerJournal.com I'd love to hear from you!

What is covetousness and why does it matter?  Katie Speaking Live True Podcast Summer Series from Katie's Seventh Grade Prayer Journal for July 19th!For complete notes with scriptures, go to katiespeaking.com under "blog."Covetousness, like jealousy, envy and greed all say, "I want what someone else has, I don't want what I have." And it is a very big deal-the Apostle Paul who wrote most of the New Testament which is for the followers of Jesus said about covetousness to not do it, don't even talk about it, don't even hang out with those who do!  So what do we do instead? Listen to the end to hear about the goodness of the power of Jesus to overcome this bad habit and to live in freedom and holiness!Colossians 3:5Luke 12:15Ephesians 5:3Hebrews 13:5Romans 7:7Romans 1:29Mark 7:22Psalm 119:36Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.Ezekiel 33:31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.1 Corinthians 6:10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.1 Corinthians 5:11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.Ephesians 5:5For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.Who's ready for Jesus now? None of us can love like we ought without the power of Jesus!  But there's no excuse for not loving as we ought because we have the power of Jesus! It is a saving, humbling, rejoicing source!  And the truth of trusting in Jesus makes everything better!Katie's blog at www.KatieSpeaking.com Get the book here: www.KatiesSeventhGradePrayerJournal.com I'd love to hear from you!

What do you do when two sisters who are also neighbors start getting mean and try to trick you?What do you do when you want a beach house vacation but have no control over making that happen?Thirteen year-old Katie decided to pray about these things! Not perfectly, but she did!With the neighbor girls, not tolerating lies and tricks was a move toward healthy relationships for Katie.  No relationship can be trustworthy with lies and tricking.  Then, Katie journals the details of her family's plans to go to a beach house for a vacation together. This was and still is one of my favorite ideas for a vacation! And again, 13-yo Katie takes the desire to the Lord. What relationship issues do you need wisdom about?What dream-vacation are you hoping for?One of five truths from this prayer journaling book is that the season you are in won't last!  Holding onto that truth gives us great perspective. It's easy to think the hard season or the good season you are in will always be that way.  But that's not how it works. Join me in reading Ecclesiasties 3:1-13 "To everything there is a season!" Do you have troubles with friends? How did you solve those problems?Have you dreamt of a vacation?  Or have you gone on a dream vacation?  Let me know in the comments or email me at katie@katiespeaking.comWith much love,Coach KatieKatie's blog at www.KatieSpeaking.com Get the book here: www.KatiesSeventhGradePrayerJournal.com I'd love to hear from you!

When the answer to your frustration is seeing the result of someone's wrong choices, you realize you are being sparred.  Watch here instead: https://youtu.be/WbmCyOUIgc4I didn't know it at the time, but the reason a peer 8th grader was getting moved up to the high school youth group with my older BFF, Rachel Fox was because that peer 8th grader was actually pregnant at age 13.Yesterday, July 9th in Katie's 7th Grade Prayer Journal, I was crying out to God, feeling that the peer's move to the high school youth group  which would mean HER being present with MY older BFF was completely UNJUST. What I didn't know is the cost of her choices and that being with older kids was a mercy to her on behalf of the junior high and high school youth group leaders.Today's podcast isn't about teen pregnancy but I will say that in our home, we've had a rule since our sons were very young that they could not even date until they could support a wife. We also explained why and praise God our sons have honored that rule. Celebacy/abstinence is what God says are best until marriage. LOL when the God of the universe gives advice, it is foolish to ignore. Praise God for his word and wisdom!Join me for truth #1 from Katie's Seventh Grade Prayer Journal: God is thinking about you!
