Name that tune 🎶

What’s the one thing you look at every day besides your smart phone? ⁠
⁠
Your planner.⁠
⁠
This is why I completely redesigned my planner when I decided to get motivated to spend time with God every day….. I knew I had to put the time on my calendar.⁠
⁠
What I didn’t need was another journal, a prayer journal, to clutter up my space and keep track of and potentially risk losing interest in. ⁠
⁠
I wanted to keep it simple and all in one place...so I made a planner and prayer journal combo.⁠
⁠
When I did this, I finally....⁠
Found a rhythm in my schedule to spend time with God⁠
Stayed motivated to keep doing it⁠
Remained dedicated to that time daily⁠
Made my spiritual health a priority too⁠
Got to know God in a deeper, more meaningful way than ever before⁠
⁠
If you are one of those proactive people who start buying their planners before the new year and are looking for a way to enrich your relationship with Christ, the might be just the system you need to invigorate your faith AND organize your life too.⁠
⁠
Also, let's talk about Thanksgiving...⁠

You are the God who performs miracles. PSALM 77:14

Let’s not ever forget this. 🙏🏼

I was looking for the true meaning of 'let go and let God' and a tangible way to implement that in my life.

When I feel like I'm running on empty, I know it's time to refuel by faith. But I wasn't always this confident in Christ. I used to think that getting a better grip on the moving parts of my life – through planning, brain dumps, organizing and re-organizing – would give me the peace of mind I wa...

This is how I overcome the 'Sunday scaries.' 👇 How do you?

It was a Bible verse card just like the picture below that prompted me to start reading my Bible. It wasn't a physical one, but one of those cleverly designed Bible verse Instagram posts that stopped me in my tracks.

I remember thinking to myself "What does that even mean?"

Here I was a church-going Christian my whole life, but I had no idea where this particular verse came from in the Bible, what the the context of the Scripture was, and who even said it.

And while those things are certainly not a requirement of Christianity, they do help to keep you close to Christ when the waves of the world ultimately try to make you drift.

The Holy Spirit moved in me that day on Instagram and planted a seed to seek a vibrant relationship with Christ by simply getting to know him better. I did that by reading my Bible and here I am today.

A simple Bible verse can do that... through the power of the Holy Spirit.

All this to say – when you give a friend the gift of Biblical encouragement when they are facing grief, sadness or fear like our Scripture Stickers, you never know where the Holy Spirit will take it from there.

If you or someone you know are facing challenges, our Scripture Stickers might be the perfect gift to help balance that grief with the good news.

Do you have a defining moment that you recall shifted your faith into something more concrete? Would love for you to share it with me. ;-)

We use a lot of tools in this life to keep us on track – a personal trainer at the gym, an app to remind and measure water intake on our phones, an alarm to wake us in the morning and another app that measures our steps throughout the day on our wrist. ⁠
⁠
These reminders keep us at the top of our worldly game, but what's reminding us to do the things that enrich our hope in heaven? Daily Bible study, prayer time, praying for others... these are all exercises that bring us closer to God, but often get put aside until Sundays. ⁠
⁠
But a prayer planner can help you do that everyday. ⁠
⁠
The Hope Planner (both the daily and weekly editions) is the kind of prayer planner that gives you gentle reminders everyday to talk to God. It's not just a Christian planner with Bible verses —With it's unique design, it helps you remember these key practices that will help you enrich your walk with God...⁠
⁠
If your current planner doesn’t do this, you don’t have to wait a whole year to switch. The is UNDATED so you can ditch the worldly way of keeping it all together and get your day together in a prayerful type of way when you’re ready. 👊🏼

PS - weekly planners will be back in stock in May... daily planners are in stock and shipping right away!

If you want to read the but don’t know where to start, I suggest starting in Psalms. Start at the beginning, read one a day and pray. The Lord will lead you from there.

When life hands you lemons...look to Scripture all around your house. That's what we did when cancer threatened our family and it kept hope alive.

We turned those makeshift notes into our all-new Scripture Stickers so you can encounter Biblical encouragement, in the most unexpected places around your house, during dark times too.

Here's the story of how they came to be >>

A few weeks ago we quietly pressed the "go live" button on a new product to the Hopefuel store - Scripture Stickers. These stickers are more than just bible verse cards, they are uniquely designed to have adhesive that covers the entire back, making them a giant sticker that you can place anywhere.....

What would Mary do?  This is a question I have been asking myself over and over in these days of motherhood.  ⁠
⁠
I'm not talking about the “Mary and Martha” Mary in Luke 10:41, I'm talking about the mother of Jesus, Mary.  What do you think was like back then?  In this “fourth trimester of pregnancy” I've found myself thinking of what it was like to raise baby Jesus.  Do you think Mary rocked her baby ‘til he slept?  Or do you think she was worried about creating bad habits?  Did she greet him with a smile after a 30 minute cap nap, or was she frustrated that he should be tying naps together for longer stints by this age?  Do you think Mary questioned whether she should nurse baby Jesus every time he woke in the night because he should be able to sleep through the night without milk by now? ⁠
⁠
Lawd Hammercy. I know we have so many modern day comforts that make our lives a breeze compared to the days of Jesus. I know this. Knowledge is one of them. But, while access to information is at the forefront of our modern lives, the ignorance it erases replaces itself with a heavy weight of worry that is almost too heavy to carry at times! ⁠
⁠
Bring me back to the days of ignorance. The Lord was right when he tried to protect us from the knowledge of good and evil.... its help is short lived and it more so overwhelms and steals our joy. ⁠
⁠
Ignorance truly is bliss. ⁠
⁠
If you need me I’m mostly protecting my ignorance offline these days and relying on my instincts over here. I’ll be rocking my baby, cuddling up next to her in the middle of the night and nursing her whenever she needs it. ⁠
⁠
I think that is just what Mary would do. ⁠
⁠
Also — this is what my looks like these days in my .... scribbled prayers and thoughts jotted down because, well, new baby. 😊 It’s just a season I encourage myself through and I’m looking forward to more in-depth Bible study days to return soon.
