It's the last week and the last day of the challenge!  Wow, the time really flew by didn't it?  Who knew a month of Bible Reading could go by so quickly.

Thank you all for doing this challenge with me and sticking it out!  It was a lot of work but I think it was worth it for me.  I know I have developed a mental habit  where, at the end of the day if I have not read my Bible, I begin to feel guilty.  But I think this is a healthy kind of guilt.  I think it is the Holy Spirit telling me that I still have something to do before I slip into bed!   I've learned that it is so important to feed the Spirit daily.  Just like our bodies need daily food to survive, so do our spirits!

Okay, I am so excited to reveal the winners!  My little guy drew three random names from the all ladies that signed up on the Mr. Linky but before I announnce them I wanted to share these verses.

Philippians 3:14 says, "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Earthly prizes cannot compare to the heavenly reward we will receive if we continue to seek Him diligently and press on in our walk!  Be encouraged to stay in the Word daily to receive the heavenly prizes that are so much more precious than anything we receive on earth.

Here are the winners:

Michele at Hugs4Him
Belynda at joyfulmomma

Congatulations!  Please email me your name and address so that I can mail off your gifts this weekend!

Congrats to you three ladies!!

Thank you so much for hosting this Leah!! I have tried really hard to read my Bible everyday, and I found some new "jewels" that I hadn't seen before! Thank you so much for the little tote that will be on its way too! Blessings to you!

Hi,
I'm glad I did the challenge. I wasn't faithful every day, but most days! And, now at the end of May, I'm still doing pretty well. I love God's Word!
