RHM is hosting a corporate (group) fast during the month of April. While we normally fast in private, I believe the Lord wants me to invite the Refreshing Hope members to participate with us in a community fast. We plan on doing a Daniel (vegan) fast, but if you have dietary or other restrictions, you can fast in whatever way your health allows. For more information, you can view the blog post here: https://www.refreshinghope.org/blogs/1/3013/intentional-growth

We are having delivery problems with aol.com and yahoo.com subscribers at the moment. Our emails bounce back us, so we can't even email you from here. I have contacted them through their site, but when you submit their crazy long form it goes to a blank white page. I will try again later. I am sorry if you can't receive the devotional using these services. We are working on it: https://senders.yahooinc.com/contact/#sender-support-request

The exhortation in the book of Hebrews to pay attention to Jesus and its warning to not drift away from God's truth is intensifying the urgency I feel in my heart. Personal study and prayer are critical for being prepared and ready for Jesus' return.

Merry CHRISTmas, Dion, Sylvia and all Refreshing Hope family,
I want to thank you for your devotions; I look forward to each one. I will admit that sometimes I don’t always read every devotion I receive (I’m usually on the go for appointments or what have you…and I don’t read them for being tired…..but, 99.9% I read them. Thank you for being so comforting when I needed it.
This is going to probably be a MAJOR long-shot, but I was wondering if it were possible to get some “financial assistance,” for my husband and I?
As you have previously been told, our checks are FULLY paid before we even get it. After bills are paid, we’re in the hole (sometimes by $30).
We are never invited to family gatherings. We never get to send Christmas cards, gifts to give or receive any. It’s been MANY years since either of us has received a gift. My sister bought us a board game roughly 2-3 years ago.
We have no family to go see or celebrate with. We’re lost and we’re hurting. We will be alone again on Christmas AND New Year’s.
We’re tired of being alone….but we’ve been doing it for more than 30 years.
If possible, would you please help?
In Christ’s Love,
Rachel Rosene
P.S. I am a published author…this is a a copy of my sell sheet for my book. I have 7 others that have been approved for publishing, but I can’t afford to get them published.

They thought only those of their faith engaged in fasting. It was a growth conversation and a touchstone for all of us! These students continue their fast until mid-May. I love how God orchestrates these moments in my life!

Doesn't it stir our hearts when we see the Lord's working in our lives, directing us, preparing and equipping us for future moments and encounters! Even, if it is going through trials and hardships, experiencing a mountain of emotions, feeling loss, despair, pain, and so much more, and yet the Lord is there all along!!! Praise His holy name!!! less
