April 2025 | Calendars

April reminds me of promises. Promises to keep and promises kept. Two significant events this month specifically remind me of promises: the Mr.'s birthday and Easter. The Mr.'s birthday reminds me to daily renew my promise to love, honor, and cherish him. Easter reminds me of the faithfulness of God's promises. He promises struggle, but also deliverance. God never wants us to forget that; He's constantly reminding us that He will rescue us.

What promises does April remind you of? Perhaps, you're thinking of promises you made regarding your students. Either promises made directly to them, or hopes forged from the year's beginning. Maybe you're looking at the school year coming to a close and April finds you recommitted to doubling down on those promises. 

Perhaps, promises regarding your personal life are on your mind. Maybe you want to spend more time outside with family, now that the weather is warming. Or maybe you want to commit to taking one day, one hour, even fifteen minutes to rest. 

Whatever promises April holds for you, know we're praying God meets you in them. We're praying that this April you deeply understand and readily accept the love the Father holds for you as you work to keep your promises to God, yourself, and others. And we hope you're praying for us, too.

April 2025 Growth for Today Calendar

This year, we're committed to grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus by learning more about Him. To achieve that end, we're studying the gospels and would love it if you'd join us! We suggest daily activities and post our Wolfe Notes in the "Faith Food" tab as we finish them. Our notes offer a glimpse at our understanding of the text, which we know is fallible and incomplete. We encourage you to undertake the activities on your own so you can enrich your own understanding of the text.

In April, we are slowing down the pace, but also offer the original pace if that is working for you. Both versions are offered in the download and embedded here for your convenience. The first calendar is the original pace, and the second is the revised slower pace.


View previous Growth for Today calendars at our JOY for Today page.

BLANK 2025 Calendars

Both our Idea for Every Day and Growth for Today calendars include a blank calendar for your convenience. Use it to pace your own activities for the month or for personal use. Here are the featured quotes:

April 2025's Featured Quote


A sun rise over mountains in pale yellow and gray. Text overlay quotes Mark 14:36.
April 2025's Featured Verse


As April greets you full of promise, don't miss the beauty around you. Allow yourself the opportunity to surrender to the beauty in each moment. It is there, let's find it.

Growing with You,

Husband Appreciation Day | JOY for Today
My husband's birthday is this month, so of course appreciation of him comes to mind. If it does for you, too, join me in recommitting to your husband. 

Isaiah 8 & 9 | The Wolfe Notes
Explore God's promises for deliverance in these Isaiah chapters. Includes ERV/DRA version comparisons, an outline of our thoughts, research into Isaiah's children, thoughts on waiting on God, and a response to God's omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence.

World Turtle Day | JOY for Today

Image
After watching my turtle recover from his tumble down the stairs yesterday (he's alright), I realized this is what turtles do: they take risks. They don't know what's at the bottom of that fall, but they trust their shell to protect them. I wonder, what shell protects you? Does your shell of protection provide joy and confidence or fear and isolation?  Meet Our Turtle: Waldo World Turtle Day Stops: Did You Know...   Two we knew; three we didn't.
