This is a one line style where I draw everything without lifting the pen. This is based on the story of when Peter is walking on the water toward Jesus Christ and starts to doubt his faith. By doing so, starts to sink. Jesus reaches forth His hands, and saves him. We learn a valuable lesson from Peter that day. This is a PDF download.

The first time I learned about the idea of a prayer walk, I was a newlywed in college. Late one Friday night in the fall, after having just gone to sleep, my husband and I heard a lot of voices in the hallway landing outside our apartment door, then a knock. Derek got up and answered, and I overhe

Hi there! My name is Lauren and I'm the creator of The James Method. What exactly is 'The James Method'? I get asked this question all the time! It may sound random or even odd, but I promise, there is a meaning behind this name. There is a purpose behind this ‘method’ and I would go as far to say, there is a calling behind sharing it with you. The James Method really began around 5 years ago, during a time when I felt very distant from God. ‘Spiritually stagnant’ is how I like to describe it. Maybe you can relate? Have you ever felt like you were doing just enough to look like a Christian but not nearly enough to truly have a relationship with your Savior? That’s where I was. I was attending church regularly and even serving, but my daily walk with the Lord was inconsistent at best. I went through cycles of reading my Bible regularly then not touching it for months at a time. I had this internal struggle happening and vividly remember crying out to God, "please help me get this". Something was missing but I didn’t know what. It was then that I read James 4:8, Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. It was this verse that God used to wake me up. It was this verse that made me realize I was not doing my part. I was being LAZY yet expecting God to over deliver. I know it's cliché to say, but this was my 'a-ha moment'. This was the moment when I decided I was done being lukewarm. I was done depending on a once or twice a week church service to feed me spiritually. Right then and there, I committed to drawing near to God daily. I committed to waking up every morning before the sun rose to spend time with my Creator. I was going to give it a year and I called it my ‘James Method’ project, based on James 4:8. The James Method is simply the act of choosing to draw near to God and holding tight to the promise that He will draw near to you. I committed to this method. Regardless of how I 'felt', I drew near. Regardless of my circumstances, I drew near. Regardless of the doubts I had in my heart that God would hold up His end, I drew near. I got up before the sun rose, I studied His Word, I approach Him in prayer, and I began to do this weird thing called verse mapping. Long story short, my life COMPLETELY changed by drawing near daily. The desires the Lord started putting on my heart propelled me in a whole new and exciting direction. God has given me a passion and a burden to share this method with others, to encourage others to draw near to Him daily and to teach and offer this unique verse mapping method as a tool to help them on their journey. I know I have been called to share...to share my story, to share what has helped me, and to share the tools and products I've created. My greatest joy now comes from encouraging and helping others to draw near to God, maybe even inspiring their own James Method project. Digging Deeper: How do you draw near to God? What We Believe at The James Method We believe all Scripture is inspired by God. It is the infallible Word of God. It is without error and never changes and should be the highest authority and guide in the life of the believer. We believe there is but one true and living God existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that they are each equal and infinite in their being, power, glory, and attributes. We believe in the absolute deity of Jesus Christ our Lord and that He shares equally in all the attributes of deity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, in His perfect and sinless humanity, in His miracles, in His substitutionary, satisfactory, propitiatory, atoning death on Calvary, and in His bodily resurrection. We also believe in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present intercessory ministry, and in His personal return for the Church. We believe salvation is by grace alone, apart from any human merit. It is bestowed upon us, though completely undeserving, by a gracious God and is conditioned solely upon our faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on Calvary. We also believe God will keep securely in His hand those who are trusting in Jesus.
Women’s ministry…if you’re a church-going woman, you’ve likely heard this phrase before. Maybe you’re even knee-deep in your church’s women’s ministry. I’ve never been the women’s ministry type. I’ve tried a few times, but each time I’ve found them to be uncomfortable–like wearing a scratchy wool sweater in the middle of a sticky Nebraska summer. It’s been my experience that women’s ministries tend to be geared towards one type of woman and I am not this woman. When I was young, I could be found playing football and riding my bike in gym shorts, over sized t-shirts, and high-top Reeboks...

Faithfulness can be hard. I think sometimes we are too quick to give up on things. I'm so thankful we serve a God who is faithful. His love never ends and we are forever His children. He will never stop holding us. Such a great promise! Today's lesson is an ooey-gooey mess! So messy, in fact, that Little Man wouldn't do it! We still managed to make it through the lesson. We were.... faithful. ;) FAITHFULNESS ~ I will not quit. Psalm 89:33 ~ "But I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness." The how-to is pretty basic. Mix up a batch of cornstarch and water. Play with the amounts until you reach a consistency that will hold together when squeezed, but return to liquid when you let go. As a teacher, I used some old classroom logic. Let the kids play first... well before you try to teach. I handed Little Man the bowl and he stuck approximately half a finger in before deciding it was too icky. So for the lesson, we used my hands. :/ I demonstrated a few times that I could squeeze the mixture and it would harden in my hand. When I opened up my hand, it spilled out. "So what happens when I give up?" It spills everywhere. "Who never, ever, ever gives up on us?" God. Exactly. We can squeeze and squeeze and squeeze and eventually our hands are going to get tired. God never gets tired of holding us. He is faithful. So when we make a big mess of everything, God will squeeze us and put us back together. Isn't He cool like that? The same God who holds the whole ocean in His hands holds us just as easily. God, thank you for loving us. I'm sorry that I gave up when I __________. I know that I should trust You. I will not stop loving You. Help me to be faithful when things are hard. Amen. I leave you with some of my favorite lyrics. "Your love never fails, it never gives up, never runs out on me."
