An open Bible displays Mark 14:12-31 with handwritten notes and highlights. The text covers the preparation for and betrayal at the Passover, the First Lord's Supper, and Peter's denial prediction. Notes include reflections on faithful worship and Jesus' sacrifice.

An open Bible shows a blank, pink-bow-decorated page with handwritten notes. The notes reflect on Jesus' betrayal, stating that "every communion is a reminder: I am loved & forgiven" and emphasizing the need to depend on Jesus.

THE LAST SUPPER NOTES

If I'm being honest, I think most of us would have gotten up and walked away. I know I would have. Why would I want to sit at a table with someone who is trying to find a way to betray me? Most of us would have confronted Judas or distanced ourselves from Peter, but Jesus? He just keeps on l

A man embraces a woman from behind on a couch, with the woman leaning into him, eyes closed. The man wears glasses and a tank top, while the woman is in a pleated outfit. A teddy bear sticker is on the man's arm. The title 'His Streets, Not Mine' is overlaid on the image.

His Streets, Not Mine…. LAST.

A woman with light brown hair and a pensive expression looks upwards, wearing a light blue ribbed sweater against a blue background. The image is titled 'Sent to Prison' with the username '@portia.louder'.

On the drive home from the federal courthouse the day I was sentenced I looked out the window and cried. I cried for the years I would lose. I cried for the years I had already lost, and I cried because I didn’t know who I was anymore. I reflected on what the judge had said. How could I have b

An open Bible page with handwritten notes and highlights, focusing on the Book of Esther. Key phrases include "Studying in Esther last night," "if I perish, I perish!" from Esther 4:15-16, and a sticker quoting "be strong and courageous Joshua 1:9."

Studying in Esther last night

One can learn a lot from studying the book of Esther. Did you know that Esther is one of only two books (the other being Song of Solomon) that does not mention God? The ironic part is that even though He is not mentioned in the book of Esther, He is ALL over it. Esther was chosen by God to save

A gray padded envelope lies on a patterned surface, with overlay text asking, "LEMON8 SENT ME A LEMON?" accompanied by a lemon emoji and a cartoon character with a question mark, indicating an unboxing of a prize.

A yellow box displays two lemon-shaped makeup blenders, with text on the box reading "MAKEUP BLENDER - BEAUTY TOOLS -". Overlay text reinforces "BEAUTY BLENDER," showcasing the prize received.

The back of the yellow makeup blender box shows product information, including details about the two-piece set, material, and warnings. Overlay text states "PACKAGING IS CUTE!", highlighting the aesthetic appeal of the prize.

Lemon8 Sent Me WHAT?!

I honestly have no clue at this point which challenge this is from. My best guess would have to be the January challenge since the last item I received was from the Christmas challenge. I wish there was a bit of a better system to track the prizes you have won. I know I’m still missing a few prizes
