Cell Phone Vs. Bible

This is a cute one sent to me by Maria Escobar. Thanks for sharing!


Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible? Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities"? And no dropped calls!

Trust in the Lord and *ASAP (Always Say A Prayer).

Blank Check!

A blank check... can you imagine?  A check is in your possession with a blank dollar amount waiting for you to fill in the blanks.  Most importantly, there are an endless amount of funds to back up that check!
Philippians 4:19 says, "My God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

How rich is God?  Rich enough to cover all your needs and then some!  He's generous enough to give forgiveness that we never deserved.  He's the creator of the universe and owns all that is within it!  He's merciful and willing to give us His provisions to meet all our needs - physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Take a moment to thank God today for the blank check He's written in your name!

Prayer Priority

This week, let's focus our prayer time on mothers.  Mother's Day will be celebrated this weekend.  For many, it will be a time of enjoyment.  But for some, it will be full of difficult memories, or sadness because they have no children, or a strained relationship with their mother or children.  Pray that God will bless our mothers and offer peace and hope to those who need it during this holiday.

Message from Linda!

Our dearest Linda Vannoy, speaker at our Girlfriends Getaway, sent this message for me to share with all our Girlfriends at Living Hope.

Wow....what a wonderful week I've seen since we were all together last week. It just doesn't seem the same. 

My heart was sooo impacted by all of you ladies from living hope. I saw Jesus with skin on; I saw brokenness; I saw faith being borrowed and faith being shared. I saw women walking towards our Lord and I was brought into His presence in song; through His word and through the testimonies of other ladies. Thank you all for the profound experience of being in kingdom ministry alongside you.

May His blessing constantly amaze and profound you as he displays his miraculous personal presence with you all.


Blessings----little one
