Plan Intro - DSW - October 2026 - "One Another," Part 2

Image
ONE ANOTHER Month Two: Love in Action Dear Friend, Welcome to Month Two of our ONE ANOTHER Scripture Writing Journey! Last month, we began exploring the beautiful—and sometimes challenging—instructions God gives us for living in relationship with one another. And if Month One taught us anything, I hope it was this: Biblical love is an action. Scripture doesn't tell us simply to feel love for one another. It tells us to DO something with it. Encourage one another. Pray for one another. Confess to one another. Show hospitality to one another. Serve one another. Be humble toward one another. Build one another up. Love one another deeply. John puts it beautifully: “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 KJV In deed and in truth. That's where we're headed this month. During these next 31 days, we'll continue writing through the New Testament's “one another” imperatives , but I want to challenge us to take ...

Plan Intro - DSW - Sept 2026 - "One Another"

 Plan Intro - DSW - Sept 2026 - "One Another" ONE ANOTHER Month One: Called to Community Dear Friend, There are two little words woven throughout the New Testament that carry an enormous responsibility: ONE ANOTHER. Again and again, Scripture tells us how we are to live—not only in our relationship with God, but in our relationships with the people He has placed around us. Love one another. Serve one another. Honor one another. Accept one another. Bear with one another. Forgive one another. Encourage one another. Build one another up. These aren't merely nice suggestions for getting along with people. They are instructions for living as followers of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you...” John 13:34 KJV What an incredible standard! Jesus didn't simply tell us to love one another. He showed us how . He loved patiently. He served humbly. He forgave freely. He showed compassion. He carried bu...

DSW - August 2026 - "Suddenly!"

Image
  Welcome to "Suddenly!" A 31-Day Scripture Writing Plan Dear Friends, Have you ever noticed how often God works suddenly ? One moment, everything appears ordinary. The next, He speaks, intervenes, rescues, reveals, or changes the course of history. Throughout Scripture we find "suddenly" moments—times when God's power interrupted fear, judgment, complacency, waiting, or even impossibility. While those moments may have seemed unexpected to the people experiencing them, they were never unexpected to God. He was faithfully working behind the scenes all along. This month's Scripture Writing Plan invites you to explore these divine interruptions. Some passages reveal God's sudden blessings. Others describe sudden judgment, unexpected consequences, or urgent calls to repentance. Together they remind us that God is sovereign over every moment and that we are called to live with hearts prepared for His timing. As you write each day's passage, don'...

PLAN INTRO - JULY 2026 - GLORY!

Image
  PLAN INTRO  - JULY 2026 - GLORY! The glory of God is more than a beautiful biblical phrase—it's the revelation of His presence, His power, His holiness, His goodness, and His unmatched greatness. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture declares His glory in creation, through His mighty works, in the life of Jesus Christ, and in the lives of those who faithfully follow Him. Throughout the next 31 days, you'll spend intentional time reading, writing, and meditating on carefully selected Scriptures that reveal different aspects of God's glory. As you write each passage by hand, allow the Holy Spirit to slow your heart, renew your mind, and deepen your understanding of who God is. Scripture writing isn't simply about filling a page; it's about allowing God's Word to fill your heart. As you journey through this plan, I encourage you to pray before you begin each day. Ask the Lord to reveal His glory in fresh ways, strengthen your faith, and transform you into the ima...

Plan Intro DSW - June 2026 - “But God…”

Image
If you look up the word “but” in the dictionary or on dictionary.com, you might be surprised at how many uses you will find of that simple, 3 letter word.  I sure was surprised!!  I had no idea how many ways the word “but” could be invoked.  This month’s scripture writing topic, “But God…” will demonstrate the usage of that word in various ways throughout God’s Holy Word.  Many times, you will find it used in a way that seemingly turns a situation around, as shown in Genesis 15:20a, “But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good…” In Joseph’s situation, God had taken the evil perpetuated upon him by his brothers, and turned it to good.  How many times do we also see that play out in our own lives? We recently held a “But God…” service at our church.  After having a time of anointed worship and experiencing a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit in the service, we took turns, one by one, sharing how the Lord had taken a particular s...

DSW - MAY 2026 - "SING!"

Image
 DSW - MAY 2026 - "SING!" There’s something powerful about a song. It can lift a heavy heart, declare victory before it’s seen, and carry truth deeper than spoken words ever could. Throughout Scripture, singing is more than music—it’s worship, warfare, remembrance, and joy all woven together. For me personally, singing is LIFE!  My mother first put me on the stage to sing a solo at the age of 8 at our small, country church .  To be honest, I wasn't super thrilled about it because I didn't like having all eyes on me, but I somehow made it through.  Mom knew God had given me a talent that I was to use for His glory! By 5th grade, I began singing in chorus at school, and continued doing so throughout my school years.  At age 22, my husband and I both joined the choir in the church we were attending, and my love for singing was stoked like never before.  I began singing in church every chance I got, doing so throughout his US Navy career, wherever we were ...

DSW PLAN INTRO - APRIL 2026 - NAMES OF GOD

Image
 April 2026 - Daily Scripture Writing Plan, "Names of God" Preface: This month's plan was originally shared back in July 2022.  As I attempted to create a new plan for April 2026, my mind was unsettled and my Spirit felt blocked from creating brand new content.  I prayed and sought the Lord's direction.  I felt Him leading me back to this plan from several years ago.  The names of God are timeless. I never tire of studying them.  As we are currently observing Holy Week leading up to Easter 2026, I believe this plan definitely bears repeating.  Perhaps it will help us keep our focus on the characteristics of our loving Father, even long past frilly, new Easter dresses, hats and bows. May it remind us throughout the month of the facets of God we may not think about every day. (Original Intro Content - July 2022)  "El shaddai, el shaddai El-elyon na adonia Age to age You're still the same By the power of the name El shaddai, el shaddai Erkamka na ado...
