As promised last month, here’s our May Scripture writing plan with the topic of GROWTH.

I’ve been working really hard in my back yard the past few months turning it into a garden of several raised beds.

Well, I dug the grass areas out and prepared them to become raised beds, once I get the soil and compost someone promised me, and once I get the cement blocks I plan to surround the areas with to make them raised beds (and easy to sit on to weed and care for).

It’s all a GROWING process 🙂  This is my third year gardening and the first two were relatively small raised elevated beds.  This year I’ll really spread out and fill the back yard with raised beds for vegetables, fruit, flowers, and herbs.  I have many seedlings growing from seed under grow lights in my basement.

I’m so looking forward to those beds being ready to start planting in!  Additionally,  knowing that every year to come, the beds will be established and ready to grow in again with just preparing them with more compost and amendments.  It’ll be nice to not have to build beds before I can grow in them! 🙂

It’s like that in our Christian lives also.  First comes the preparation (last month’s topic) before the growth can happen.

Let’s see what God’s Word has to say about it 🙂

I’m so thankful that so many of you are enjoying and spiritually benefiting from these monthly scripture writing plans! I love putting them together for you knowing that you find them useful and uplifting! Use these passages to write out the scriptures and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Click on the image below to pull up the full-sized PDF file for printing –>

I usually print these out on 28 pound white paper (or 32 pound paper is even better) and just stick them right into my planner or journal. The heavier the paper, the less chance it will tear out of your binder or planner by accident and helps resist bleeding or ghosting from your pens or markers. It helps the page turn easier too.

For planner stickers, etc:  If you choose to print these out on full-size (letter) sticker paper,  I use these here. They’re priced great and you can write on them easily. They are good enough quality for my needs. If you want a top-quality sticker paper look for these or clear vinyl ones here. (Though not all pens or markers will write well on the clear ones). If you don’t want to use sticker paper, you can print them on card stock or regular printer paper and glue them down. Honestly, the sticker paper is the most economical  way, however for everyday planning stickers. Regardless of the type.

Going through a lot of ink printing out planner stickers? Do like I did and enlist in the HP Instant Ink program! I’ve saved so much money on ink since I did several years ago. They have different plans, but the one I’m in is the plan that lets me print up to 300 pages worth of ink for just over $11 per month. That’s regardless of the amount of ink on the page.  I love printing out pictures on photo paper.  I fit 4 4×6-inch photos on one sheet of photo paper.  Imagine the amount of photos you can print at four pages per one page and the cost is the same for a full page of photo ink as it is for one dot.  It goes by the page, not the amount of ink!  You can choose lesser pages for a lower rate, but I do a lot of printing between coupons, planner stickers and other things.

Hello family and friends!

I felt like the Lord was leading me to the topic of Preparation and Readiness for April as I was digging some vegetable garden beds in my back yard in preparation for May’s planting.

After suffering a broken rib in February, I’m finally feeling well enough to do some manual work outside in the fresh air.

If I didn’t prepare the ground for gardening now while the soil is soft enough to dig, it would be much more difficult (if not impossible for me in my case) to get the beds ready in time.

I think it’s a really good example of our spiritual lives as well as our physical lives!  It’s a good lesson for us to be good stewards of all God has given us in this world and in preparation for the one to come!

I’m so sorry this is late this month. The month got away from me as my focus of late has been on recovering from a broken rib. Just a silly household accident involving tripping while carrying a box of books and falling on the box as it and I went forward.

It’ll heal easily enough in time on its own, of course, but in the meantime it’s been very painful.  I guess the Lord decided to slow me down for a bit 🙂

With the nice weather we’ve been having on and off here in Ohio, I’m eager to get back to gardening. With the Spring in our near future, the idea of renewal is on my mind.  Given that, here is our March 2026 scripture writing plan with that theme!

I hope this post finds you all warm and safe!  Here in north central Ohio we’ve been having heavy snow followed by bitter, below temps so far this winter.  The Lord has brought us through it safely though, and I thank Him for that.

While we are on that subject, I’d like to remind and encourage you all to make sure you have a few weeks (at minimum) of food and water stored up for times like this.

We still have a big chunk of winter left and I know here in my part of Ohio, it seems like February is worse in terms of cold, snow, and ice than January; so it’s best to be prepared and not need it than need it and not be prepared.  Consider yourself reminded 🙂

Back to the scripture writing plan, I was almost really late in getting this out!   I woke up this morning and realized tomorrow was February and then that made me realize I hadn’t gotten the February Scripture writing plan out; so I’m thanking the Lord for the gentle reminder today 🙂

The theme is the same I use most Februarys: Love. Given that it’s the Greatest Commandment, I think it’s the best theme to have once a year and what better month than February?

For those who notice such things, it’s the same plan as past months Love is used. But love can never be too much the focus in the life of a Christian believer!

Have a great February!

Hello family! I really hope you all had a blessed and healthy Christmas season!  At my house, we spent a quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home, as my son came down with the Christmas curse (said totally tongue in cheek, I don’t believe that lol).

He developed an ear infection that landed us at his doctor on Christmas Eve morning and also his neurologist (he is nonverbal -autism) shortly before that.

However it was a great reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season and we should totally be focused on Him and His first coming anyway.

I’m really hopeful for a healthier (and much more stress-free) year in 2026.  With that in mind, I’m happy to report that his last seizure, which was the source of much stress, was almost a year ago in January.  Twenty twenty five found us trying to find the right medication for him that he could tolerate well, and then that he could pull out of the side effects of (the third medication).  The first six months of last year was battling that and watching him sit with both hands held up while he stared downward unless he was engaged somehow.  His own sweet personality started returning in July, which I have praised the Lord for repeatedly 🙂

With that struggle in mind, as well as other issues, I felt led to have our theme for January, 2026 be, “Let Go!”, reminding us all to strive (with the Holy Spirit’s help, of course) to let go of all that has been holding us down or back in previous years.  I hope we can all glean much toward this in applying these scriptures to our lives.

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving!  My son and I had a quiet celebration this year with my bestie coming over to spend it with us.

I’m really trying to focus on the meaning of the season, both with Thanksgiving and Christmas.  We have so much to be thankful for and at Christmas, we honor the birth of our Savior Jesus.  Family dynamics have changed greatly but the Lord never changes!

This month our scripture writing theme focuses on the truest real meaning of Christmas.  The birth of Christ and the many prophecies that point to it.  It really drives home the truth that our faith is placed in the one true God and the greatest Gift we could ever hope for:  His Christ child.  His gift to a lost world in need to reconciling us to Himself for all of eternity!

Good evening everyone!

I don’t know about you, but I’m SO glad Halloween is just a few hours from being over! I’m so tired of seeing so much of death and violence glorified this time of year in the name of “fun”.  There’s nothing fun about it.

I would much rather focus on the thankfulness November reminds us to have and the One Who has given us so much to be thankful for!

Anyway…I have a lot going on tonight, so I won’t make this a long introduction 🙂

For your Bible studying pleasure and benefit, here’s our scripture writing plan for November, 2025!  God bless you all!

Hi everyone!   I just finished working on the October 2025 scripture writing plan.

Firstly, I want to apologize for missing the September plan.  I spent most of August and September harvesting my small garden and buying from other sources and canning, canning, and more canning 🙂   So life got in the way  in a big way.

Having said that, while meditating on the theme for the October plan, I felt like the Lord was leading me to use the theme of BE PREPARED for it.  Not just because of the time of year it is with harvest and preservation happening, but in general.

I think we can all agree that every day the world seems to be getting crazier and more and more and more wicked!  I think in light of this, it would behoove us all to be as prepared as we are physically and spiritually able to be.

These passages will reflect that truth.  For the most part, odd-numbered days focus on practical, physical preparing and the even-numbered days focus on spiritual preparing.

Our Scripture writing plan for this month is one that touches many of us closely.  It’s like an, “ouch!” for us personally 🙂

I’m still working on my weight loss journey and had a couple of days not at my best due to groceries being low, so I’m kicking myself in the pants to spend some time in scripture to remind myself of what God says about self control.

I think this is something many of us struggle with in so many areas of life.  Health-related issues,  gossip, temper…The list could go on and on, but I think you’ll have the conviction of what yours is easily enough 🙂
