We are wrapping up what has been an amazing month of Scripture writing on the topic of fatherhood. I hope it has inspired and encouraged you to know not only the amazing impact fathers have on this world, but also the deep and abiding love our God has for us as our Heavenly Father!
I’m really excited to be embarking now on a new month of study, and I’m ready to see what all the Lord has for us to learn in July! Once again, a huge “thank you!” and shout-out goes to my friend, Amber Durgan, who came up with the passages for this month’s plan!
“Freedom and Military Appreciation” is our theme for July, and rightfully so as we are entering into the month in which we in the US celebrate our Independence Day! We will be diving into the Word to see not only what it has to say about the spiritual freedom we have in Christ, but also the ways in which the Word speaks to the topic of military issues. As a military wife, it’s important to me that we dedicate at least a portion of this month’s study time to our military families. It is our prayer that a particular passage or passages would be of especially great encouragement to you in the month ahead!
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, July 1, 2020, 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 260 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’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! See y’all on Wednesday, July 1st!
