Heavenly Father, we thank you for blessing us throughout this year. Though we had struggled and shed tears along the way, you kept us through it all. Thank you for all you’ve done thus far. Lord, thank you for our mothers, who have nurtured us and cared for us. We honor our mothers and motherly figures who’ve gone in glory, sharing memories of the lives we cherish since birth. We also pray for children who are without mothers or have bad relationships with their mothers. Comfort them and bless them with motherly figures who will show love towards them. Be with our graduates as they celebrate their accomplishments, preparing for their next chapter. This month, we pray for strength when our future looks grim and uncertain. Help us lean on You, so we can find peace and confidence to carry on. Even if we’re not where we desire to be, meet us where You want us to be. You haven’t brought us this far to leave us, so we ask for Your guidance as we face new challenges and paths ahead. But keep making ways for us, keep opening doors for us, and keep protecting us, so we may live this blessed life to the fullest. In Jesus’ Name by Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

PSALM 2025 READINGS. Psalms 2025 Readings will return, along with some devotionals. We’ll be posting our devotionals this month to catch up.

SUMMER YOUVERSION READING CHALLENGE. As we prepare for the summer, I challenge you to do at least one Bible plan during the summer on the YouVersion Bible App. You can do up to multiple plans at your own pace. The other option is reading any book, physical or e-book, on the topic of Psalms or referencing Psalms.

NEXT BOOK READING: Our next book reading is Psalms for the Anxious Heart: A 30-Day Devotional for Uncertain Times this September. We will continue the Psalm 2025 readings as well.

CREATE YOUR OWN PSALM ASSIGNMENT. As we approach the end of this year, the job of reading Psalms this year is to create your own psalm. A psalm is a song, a hymn, a poem, a prayer, and an expression of thanksgiving. If you were David or a songwriter, what kind of psalm would you write?

After the Psalms Readings, which ends on December 13th, you will have from December 14th to New Years’ Day to complete this assignment as your own life psalm. You can start early as you read or wait until you complete the Psalms.

If you like to share your psalm, we will love to share it as a testimonial for our End-of-the-Year Celebration (Due on Christmas). You can also share your psalm on social media, using the hashtag, #PSALM2025, and tagging us, so we can celebrate your accomplishment. We will share more throughout the year.

PSALM 2025 BOOKS & ACTIVITY BOOKS. If you received your PSALM 2025 Christmas package, don’t forget to use the other books, including any Psalms books or activity books given.

This month, we have two puzzles for the month of May: Crossword and Word Search.

These puzzles, including previous puzzles, are available on WordPress for download.

This May, we’ll be busy posting unfinished and new lip sync series this month:

OLD BUSINESS: We’re finished posting the rest of our 2024 content, ongoing to 2025.

For our Fall Guys Spring-a-thon, thus far, we reached our goal for multiple videos of Knockout and Solos; however, the other parts are only 1-2 times due to other commitments, such as Dead by Daylight: Blood Moon & Chaos Shuffle.

NEW BUSINESS: In May, we will have new content. Check out this month’s schedule.

FALL GUYS SUMMER-A-THON: Due to the success of our Fall Guys Spring-a-thon, we will continue this tradition for the rest of the seasons this year and beyond. Our Summer-a-thon will begin on Sunday, June 1st, 2025. We’ll have Knockouts and Solos every day, a double feature on Sundays. Each day will have a different mode, including themed modes, creative modes, duos, and squads. Fall-a-thon will start in September, and Winter-a-thon will start in December, including more content during our Christmas Extavaganza this year. Please check out the list of our Summer-a-thon below.
