Please Note: UPtv will have a new movie premiere with Trevor Donovan, whom I know many of you here like, but I want to caution that this movie is rated PG-13 for violence, bloody images, and suggestive material. UPtv may or may not edit out some of this content. Viewer discretion is strongly advised on this movie. Please see a review from our friend, Abigail, below.

Movie Review:

🎬 Where the Wind Blows - Warning: You all know how much I love Trevor Donovan, but I have to warn you about this movie (Where the Wind Blows). I saw it a couple months ago and I was shocked how much needed to be skipped. It was very sexual. I won’t mention the scene for the sake of sparring you, but I would advise you to pass on this one. This is not a Christian film despite what they say. I was saddened and disgusted. Sorry, that was difficult for me to write, especially about Trevor, but I felt the need to tell you the truth. Many will be tempted like I was just seeing his name. ~Abigail

Oh, I hope you all have such a lovely Easter weekend!

In addition to it being Easter, which is such a deeply meaningful time for all of us Christians, Good Friday is also my birthday, so I'll be celebrating both Easter and my birthday with my precious family. And I know some of you dear friends, who visit here, have family & friends celebrating, too... so a very Happy Birthday to all of them, too!

Easter is such a beautiful reminder of God’s incredible love... shown through His incredible sacrifice. When we turn to Him, we can find forgiveness, freedom, and the promise of eternal life. And if you feel it on your heart, I've included a prayer below if you'd like to invite Jesus into your life.

I pray you all have a

Blessed Easter

and Resurrection Sunday!

Net

🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”

~John 11:25-26

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

~John 3:16-17

Prayer of Salvation:

For those of you who would like to know the full joy of receiving Jesus in your heart, I've included the prayer of salvation here for you...

(If you repeat these words and mean them in your heart, then you will be saved.)

"God, I know I am a sinner.

I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.

I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.

I now receive Jesus as my Savior.

Forgive me Lord of my sins.

I thank You for the the gift of salvation

and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace.

In Jesus name, I pray...

Amen."

If you said that prayer for the first time, God bless you, fellow Sister or Brother in The Lord! I want to encourage you to seek God's word for direction in your life. He has ALL the answers you need. Jesus died and rose again for you, so live daily for Him!

Erin Cahill's Fashion and "No Worries" Devotional in Hallmark Channel's DaySpring Movie "Journey to You"

Get ready to experience a transformative journey of spiritual renewal!

The Hallmark Channel has an all-new DaySpring inspirational film premiering this Easter weekend titled Journey to You, starring Erin Cahill.

In this film, Erin portrays Monica, an over-worked ER nurse who embarks on a journey to pay tribute to her late father. She walks the renowned Camino de Santiago in Spain, guided by a devotional journal her father left to her.

During her trek, Monica forms a bond with Luis (played by Eric Valdez), a single dad traveling with his father and teenage son. Their adventure together, filled with both physical challenges and emotional growth, is marked by gradual healing, a renewal of faith, and deep introspection.

I thought it would be nice today to feature the No Worries devotional journal Monica uses throughout the movie to reflect on God's word and her journey, not only in Spain but in life.

(By the way, If you order from Amazon today, you may be able to receive this devotional before the movie premieres or for Easter Sunday. Click here for product and shipping details.)

No Worries Journal

DaySpring's description of this journal:

No worries! God's got this. God's got YOU.

Use this journal to help you calm your heart and mind. Take a few moments each day - when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night - to read, reflect, and pray. You will be reassured that God is always with you, watching out for you, and caring about every detail of your life, no matter what.

In Journey to You, Erin Cahill wears this lightweight hiking jacket. The front is made of waterproof and windproof fabric, and the hood is fixed. The sleeves and hood are made of soft fleece fabric.

Erin also wears this lovely lavender fleece jacket.

I was able to locate two similar jackets in the same color at Amazon - click here and here.

I located some black hiking pants at Amazon that are similar to Erin's.

And these Merrell Women's Moab Speed 2 GTX Sneakers are exactly the shoes Erin wears in the movie. You can also find them on Amazon.

This Polartec stretch fleece layer is the exact one Erin wears while hiking. It's not only trendy but practical!

Erin Cahill's embroidered off-white midi dress is only available via sources like Ebay and Poshmark.

Amazon also offers two great lookalikes, one is an excellent price - see here, and the other is lovely, but VERY pricey - see here

Hopefully, this inspirational DaySpring movie will be one we'll all enjoy this Easter weekend, premiering on Saturday night and encoring on Sunday.

In my upcoming Easter post, I'll have even more highlights of what's premiering this weekend.

Blessings to you all,

The Professional Bridesmaid

Storyline: Years ago, Maggie Bailey (Hunter King) realized she had a particular skill set for being an ace bridesmaid -- and she went pro. Now she uses her talents to help brides navigate the tricky emotional and social dynamics that go along with planning their big day in addition to the practical. Her latest client, Alexis Shepard (Francesca Bianchi), is the daughter of Columbus’ mayor who is up for re-election. Alexis’ wedding promises to be the event of the summer with lots of scrutiny, so the mayor’s team hires Maggie to join the bridal party and help keep everything on track. But no one can know that Maggie is a hired bridesmaid, so she is introduced as Alexis’ old friend Maisie. Unfortunately, Henry Whittington (Chandler Massey), an ambitious local reporter assigned to the society story is sniffing around hoping to get close to the mayor for a scoop on the pending development of local park land. To pull off her assignment, Maggie must coordinate three unhelpful bridesmaids and keep Henry focused on the wedding while hiding her identity, even as she begins to grow closer to him.

Storyline: Dawn Spencer (Schull) approaches the Easter holiday trying to balance being a single parent while working to get out of the debt left behind by her ex-husband. Feeling overwhelmed, Dawn unearths a bracelet she made years earlier and stored away. She created it using four beads with the intention of using each one as a reminder to count the blessings in her life. As Dawn begins to focus on the good, her faith is renewed, and her life takes a positive turn. Thanks to the support of Dawn’s church community and the encouragement by Ben (Marks), who recently came into her life, the blessing bracelets help take her down a path she never could have imagined.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! I'm rejoicing, along with you, that Jesus overcame death so that those of us who trust in Him could also overcome death and one day live in Heaven with Him for all eternity! May the joy of that promise fill us up to overflowing and flow out of us this Easter! May we grow abundantly in His amazing love!

I pray you and your family, your friends, 

and your church family,

have a Joyous, Happy Easter!

Love and Easter Blessings to you all, Net

As Christians reflect this Easter, we acknowledge that God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be crucified, buried, and raised on the third day - so that when we repent, we can receive God's forgiveness, be saved from the penalty of our sins and experience eternal life with Him!

If you'd like to ask Jesus in your heart, you may do so with this prayer...

Prayer of Salvation:

"God, I know I am a sinner.

I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.

I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.

I now receive Jesus as my Savior.

Forgive me Lord of my sins.

I thank You for the the gift of salvation

and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace.

In Jesus name, I pray...

Amen."

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"If you declare with your mouth,

“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart

that God raised Him from the dead,

you will be saved."

~Romans 10:9
