I hope everyone had a restful Labor Day weekend. We would like to announce that we are back from summer break. Please know that we changed some things to create better content, provide time for bigger projects, and not overwhelm you with a bunch of information. However, for the September 2025 Announcements, I’m sharing other things in the future, so I can better prepare for content through accountability to achieve my goals and give a head’s up on what we have in store.

This month, during my birthday month, I have created schedules that include blogs, short stories, GFJ Lip Sync Choir skits, gaming videos, and other material. You can find the September 2025 Announcements via e-mail or on WordPress. These announcements will be public on WordPress later this week.

Finally, I am writing five new poetry books through the end of 2026. After writing Blue Skies., I am committing myself to being a part-time writer, as well as being a content creator. This is a hard job for me as I tackle multiple avenues, media, and content. However, by 2026, I will reveal the schedules for all my content. I will share more information before 2025 ends.

I am proud of the progress made this year, and I cannot wait to share everything I have with you all. To God be the glory!

Lord, in this world of uncertainty and confusion, help us remember what you taught us and what we learned in this world. Help us not to forget Your promises and Your Word, so we can stand against the traps of the enemy. Give us an unshakable faith that when we’re tested, we will have an answer to show the world who You are. Hear our prayers during these troubling times. Don’t let life drift away from Your voice that we cannot hear but give us ears to hear You, so we may choose the right paths and decisions in this life. And whatever struggle or trouble comes our way, give us strength not just to overcome it but also to persevere through it. Strengthen us and grant us peace through chaos. In Jesus’ name, through Your Holy Spirit, I pray. Amen.

Lord, in our darkest hour, I pray for peace for our minds, hope in our hearts, and strength for our bodies. Shine Your light to free people from their darkness and renew a purpose within them; show them the goodness in their lives. No matter what age they are, show them that the dreams and potential within them can make a difference with faith and perseverance. Help us trust in You in all circumstances. Help us not to give up on those who have silent battles and give us words to encourage our social circles and everybody we see each day. Give us hope to strive to be better but also help us know we are Yours, Your children and people, so we can encourage and light up this dark world. In Jesus’ name, through Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

PSALM 2025 BOOK READINGS. We postponed our Psalm 2025 Readings until 2026. We will create a new schedule by November 2025. Stay tuned for more information.

NEXT BOOK READING. This month, we’re reading Psalms for the Anxious Heart: A 30-Day Devotional for Uncertain Times. There will be no journal prompts or devotionals for these readings. Read it to your heart’s content.

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?

Because of the rescheduling of the Psalms Readings, I’m extending this assignment from today to New Years’ Eve. If you want to share your psalm as a testimonial for our End-of-the-Year Celebration, submit your psalm by December 1st. If not, you can also share your psalm on social media, using the hashtag, #PSALM2025, and tagging us, so we can celebrate your accomplishment.

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.

2026 Devotional. The theme devotional for 2026 is “Healing & Meditation,” which will focus on wisdom and life lessons about healing from traumas, grief, or other life-altering, life-changing circumstances or situations. This will be a continuation of my last year’s devotional, “Change of Circumstances,” which focused on how our circumstances change us or how we change through our circumstances.

BOOK REQUESTS. If you would like to suggest books for 2026, the deadline for book requests is November 1st. Votes for book requests will take place a week before Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving, we will select three books for Summer, Fall, & Winter.

We’ve already selected two books for January and Lent: “When Faith Meets Therapy” by Anthony Evans (Jan 2026) & “Cast Your Cares: A 40-Day Journey to Find Rest for Your Soul” (Lent 2026).

We will send a detailed schedule of all 2026 devotionals and books by December 1st, so everyone can get a head start.

We included September and Fall puzzles. All puzzles are available on WordPress for download.

OLD BUSINESS: We’re finished posting the rest of our 2024 content, ongoing to 2025. We will begin new content starting on September 2025, along with new games for my birthday week.
