Last year, I joined a poetry challenge, writing 21 poems. Month later, I’ve written a 50-poem book, detailing my life story and transformation through poetic prose. This year, I’ve written and published my first book, Blue Skies. If you haven’t purchased our book yet, you can buy a copy as a paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble or as an e-book version from the Book Leaf Publishing website (Links below). You can also access the links on our WordPress website. Please share my book as well. Thank you.

MONTHLY PRAYERS

February 2025

Lord, thank you for Your unconditional grace and merciful love towards us. Thank you for the beautiful art of love You’ve shown to us through words and deeds. Help us to share Your love with others through all our relationships. Whether friend or stranger, help us to treat one another with love and respect, as You have shown to us. Make us doers of love than just speaking about love. In Jesus’ Name by Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

March 2025

Lord, in times of uncertainty and brokenness in our world, we pray for Your presence to comfort us, knowing we are not fighting the battle alone. We ask for Your hope through Your Word and Your promises to encourage us when days are hard and heavy for us. Give us your peace to give us assurance and hope when we fall into despair. When our present moments are difficult and chaotic, and our futures look blurry and uncertainty, speak to us, so we can make the right path to endure and overcome the challenges ahead of us. In Jesus’ Name by Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

PSALM 2025 READINGS. Due to the Lent season, we’re taking a break from our PSALM 2025 Readings until after Easter.

LENT 2025. We will begin our LENT reading of Peace with the Psalms: 40 Readings to Relax Your Mind and Calm Your Heart by Abide Christian Meditation this Wednesday. Read one chapter each day during your downtime (See your PSALM 2025 PACKET on specific readings for the day).

March Prayer Madness (2025). March Prayer Madness is a journal goal of creating or journaling your own prayers throughout the month of March. Since Lent starts in March this year, we will start our March Prayer Madness this Wednesday until Palm Sunday. Journaling your prayers for #MPM2025 is optional. If you want to share your prayers with us, please send one, a few, or all in one e-mail by Palm Sunday.

HOLY WEEK (2025). We will read Psalm readings relating to Jesus’ Journey to the Cross. More information later this month.

We will send February & March 2025 puzzles in next week’s Weekly Update on Monday, March 10th, 2025. We will also provide all the puzzles worksheets from last year to this year on WordPress as well for future preference. If you have puzzle suggestions, click on the “REQUESTS” link below to submit your suggestions.

OLD BUSINESS: We will reschedule all blogs, poetry, short stories, writing projects, and reviews from January and February for future dates, but they will be posted randomly throughout the year.

NEW BUSINESS: Due to Lent and Holy Week, there will be no blogs, short stories, writing projects, or reviews until May. However, our Impromptu Poetry is back, starting this Friday, including an Easter poem on Good Friday (Schedule below).

We will start two new lip sync series on Facebook, Instagram (@ninjaknightproductions), and TikTok (@ninjaknightproductions72) starting next week. One series will be the first part of a 3-part lip sync playlist for GFJ’s 3rd Year Anniversary (rescheduled from February 2025). This month’s theme is “YOU SHALL LIVE.”

We also honor female Gospel singers in honor of Women’s Month.

Both playlists for both series are available on YouTube, and all songs (in order) will be posted this Friday.

*Week of 2/23 & 03/02 will be posted next week due to a plethora of videos yet published on the YouTube channel from OCT - DEC 2024.
