I've never been good at daily Bible reading. I was envious in college of those that could start a plan and stick with it, because that's not something I've ever been able to do. Start a plan...yes. Finish a plan...no. Then on Friday I saw the picture below posted by my friend, Kristen Chapman for a July schedule of daily scripture writing.
This was very interesting to me. I enjoy handwriting notes or letters. The literacy professional in me knows that the act of writing creates memory traces that help me better recall the things I've written. The writer in me just enjoys the feel of a pen or pencil moving across the page. This scripture writing plan allows me to put something I enjoy...writing, with something I'm not very good at...daily scripture reading to hopefully create a new routine that fosters my spiritual growth.
After seeing the picture and reading some of Kristen's friends' comments, I knew this would be a blessing for me, so I went looking for the source. I found the blog, Sweet Blessings. I began my scripture writing on July 1st, and it's already been a blessing to me and it's only been three days! I'm sure I'll change and tweak how I do it going forward, but for now, I'm spending time with God daily and that's the important part.
