February Scripture Writing Intro, "Love."

In October of 2015, my friend, Tammy Ullrich, introduced me to Daily Scripture Writing; specifically the plans created and published by Sweet Blessings (swtblessings.com).  I began doing them every day, and found that it was a GREAT way to get my scattered mind focused on God's Word every day.  Daily devotions, scripture memorization, etc. had been a major struggle for me up to this point as my attention deficit wired brain liked to ping all over the place, never fully focusing in and comprehending the text(s). Having been a note taker for most of my life, THIS was right up my alley!  I felt like God's Word had been presented anew to me.  Two months after I began following the Daily Scripture Writing Plan, Tammy and I founded the Daily Scripture Writing Group. For 6 years we had the pleasure of sharing the Sweet Blessings plans on the group page, as it grew in amazing ways!  Late in 2021, Shannon (from Sweet Blessings) announced that for personal, spiritual reasons, she would no longer be publishing new plans. Tammy and I decided to take a month to decide which plan(s) would become our official group plans, and we posted the previously published New Years plan on the page for Jan. 2022 as we began shopping around.  While searching for new plans, it quickly became overwhelming to me because there are SO MANY great plans and publishers of plans out there!!!  One morning, while I was looking at plans and feeling overwhelmed, the Lord quickened my heart, prompting me to write a plan myself! With His help, I drafted the Feb. 2022 plan, "Love."  Tammy and other trusted sisters in Christ have been my proofreaders, and now the plan is being shared with you!  Going forward, I am hoping the Lord will continue to prompt my heart and lead me to author new plans for our group for as long as He sees fit.  

Our February plan is, "LOVE." I felt that was an appropriate first topic for me to pull together, as the month of February is widely known as "the month of love."  

Countless songs have been written about "Love" through the ages:

In her one of a kind voice, Tina Turner sang, "What's Love Got To Do With It?"

The Beatles "All You Need Is Love" hit the pinnacle of #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1967.

Disney's movie, "The Lion King," introduced us to the song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" in 1994.

According to Google, the #1 love song of all time is Dolly Parton's song, made famous by Whitney Houston in 1992, "I Will Always Love You."

All these songs center around the human emotion of love, mostly in a relational context with another human being.  But what does God's Word have to say on this topic?  It has SO much to say about Love that we could honestly take a whole year of scripture writing just to focus on that!  (don't worry, we're only doing that as our topic in February).  God's Word is the ultimate authority on Love, and sets the example for us in every way.  In my opinion, our very first day's assignment sums it up best, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. There truly can be no greater love! Christ dying for our sins so that we might have the gift of eternal life is the ULTIMATE display of love by both the Father and the Son. What a gift!!

I pray this month's writing assignments speak to you as much as they did to me, that your days are blessed by including them in your daily studies, and the the Lord blesses the time you spend in His holy word!

PLAN INTRO - DSW - AUGUST 2025 - "HIS NAME"

Image
 PLAN INTRO - DSW - AUGUST 2025 - "HIS NAME" In the early days of our marriage, as our family was just beginning and growing, my husband and I took very careful consideration in the naming of our children.  As each one came along, we'd painstakingly research names for both a boy and a girl, as we anxiously waited to see which name we'd get to use. Our first child's name (a boy) was selected after a sermon by our (then) pastor and the 1st & 2nd grade Sunday school class that we taught.  Our 2nd child's name (a girl), had been inspired by a book I read at the age of 14, and had been hanging on to ever since.  Our third child's name (a boy), came as a tribute to 2 of our grandfathers (had he been a girl, he would have been named, "Gabriella," which my research revealed means "breath of God," and I absolutely loved it!). Our fourth child was adopted, but we had some input on her name, and she too was named after family members.  Remarka...

DSW PLAN INTRO - APRIL 2026 - NAMES OF GOD

 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...

DSW - OCTOBER 2025 - THE SHEPHERD

Image
 DSW - OCTOBER 2025 - THE SHEPHERD 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.  16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there  shall be one fold, and one shepherd.  17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.  18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.                 John 10:14-18 (KJV) The image of the shepherd runs like a golden thread throughout the pages of Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as the One who leads, protects, provides, and lays down His life for His sheep. Jesus declares, “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good ...
