*As our family is currently packing up to prepare to move, it completely slipped my mind what day it was and I failed to release May’s plan before May actually arrived! My apologies!Â
We are wrapping up what has been a great month of Scripture writing journeying through chapters 11-16 of the book of Luke. We have walked through the middle days of Jesus’ earthly ministry and already learned so much.
I’m really excited to be embarking now on a new month of study as we continue on in the book of Luke, and I’m ready to see what all the Lord has for us to learn next!
As I pointed out in my post about our overarching plan for 2023, we are continuing this year to do what we started in 2021 and go through whole books of the Bible at a time, so that we might better pay attention to context and grow in our Bible literacy.Â
Each day’s passage will take no more than about 5, maybe 10,  minutes to write out, thereby making the plan easily accessible for even the busiest of women to follow. And, though it won’t at all be time-intensive, our Scripture-writing will aid us well in our desire to get into the Word of God, actually ponder and meditate on it, and study it for ourselves. Studies show that when we stop and actually write out something as opposed to simply reading (or typing it!), we retain far more of the material we are going over. So, I’m excited to see how this Scripture writing plan will equip us to better study and even memorize the Word of God.
How This is All Going to Work
For those of you who may be new to the plan, here’s what we are going to do:
Beginning Wednesday, May 1, 2024, we will daily be writing out together the passage for the day as laid out in this plan. You can write out your passage in your journal, a notebook, your planner, a chalkboard, a calendar, a paper on your refrigerator, whatever you want! The whole point is to get into the Word and get the Word into us! So do what will work best for you!
As we go through the Scripture writing plan together, we are going to (as we feel led to and want to, there is no strict obligation!) take a picture of our writing for the day, post it to social media (along with, if you so choose, a note on what stood out to you from that day’s writing), and use the hashtag #homeandhearthscripturewriting. That way, we can keep track of who all is going through the plan, invite friends to join us, see how it’s going, encourage each other, and find likeminded ladies to journey together with through this plan. In fact, we have now formed an entire Facebook Group centered around the Home and Hearth Scripture Writing! There are already over 900 ladies in the group, several of whom daily post about what the Lord taught them through that day’s writing, how the passage was exactly what they needed in that moment, etc. It’s a super encouraging place, so please do consider joining us over there, as well! I also do monthly recap FB Live videos over there at the end of each month where we chat about what stood out to us the most from that month’s plan, so we would love to have you partake in those chats, as well!
I’m so excited to embark on this new plan with you ladies and can’t wait to see how the Lord uses it in our lives! Comment below if you’re planning to join us!
As always, if you have any questions, just reach out!
