Hi Friend!
Ready to transform your Bible habits?
Maybe you’re thinking sure, you’d like to write God’s Word on your heart, BUT all the things you’ve tried before just haven’t stuck.
I’ll tell you what made the difference for me …
What made it finally click …
And stick …
Or sometimes I call it Verse Hunting – since I *hunt* for a verse to write during my daily Bible study.
Others simply call it Scripture writing.
Whatever you call it, we want you to join us in this simple, yet heart-changing discipline.
I kind of fell into writing a verse a day years ago – long before it was a “thing.” I didn’t sit down and plan to do it – it sort of evolved. But the Lord knew what He was sparking in my heart and oh, what a blessing it became!
1. During my daily Bible-reading time, I asked the Lord which verse He wanted me to focus on that day.
2. Then I wrote down one verse (or more) each day.
That’s it!
That’s it?
Ok, if you are anything like me, you have about 23 questions swirling in your head.
Don’t worry, the FAQ’s are below.

I know what you’re probably thinking. You may want to spend time with the Lord every day. You may want to learn from His Word. But you have trouble succumbing to the reality of your mile-long to-do list.
I get it. I really do. I’ve been there.
But here’s the thing …
Your stress level needs this. {Ask me how I know.}
Your family and friends need you to do this.
YOU need this – more than anything else on that list.
You may think finding the time is not possible, but …
Daily time with the Lord in His Word is life-transforming in the most amazing, can’t-believe-it, shake-your-head kind of way!
Philippians 4:7 (ESV): And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
How?
1. Scripture Writing is Do-Able
It’s just so easy!
You know what they say – break your ultimate goal down into smaller steps. This little, but powerful goal to write a verse each day is Step One in developing your time in the Word.
If you *think* you only have 3 minutes, then do it in 3 minutes!
But I promise you, your priorities and desires will evolve and change – from 3 minutes to 5, then 5 minutes to 10, then 10 to 20, and so on. That is the goal!
2. Our Journals Make It Simply Fill In The Blank
Leave your Verse Journal open. It’s funny how motivating it is to have that beckoning empty spot in your Verse Journal staring at you each day.
I can’t seem to leave any spot blank! It works!
3. Our Journals Are Like A Habit Log
You will basically be keeping a log of your new daily habit, but BETTER! Who wants a plain old check mark in a box when you can have a Bible verse in a keepsake watercolor journal! Keeping a habit log has been proven to make new habits stick.
Kathy said, “I didn’t really have the desire to write a bible verse every day, but I decided to do it. It has turned into the biggest blessing and I look forward to it now! Even though I’m retired, I have a busy schedule and doing these daily verses has helped me be more organized with spending time with the Lord and getting my priorities in order. I really enjoy writing the Word! It adds richness to my days. I praise and thank the Lord for prompting me to do it.”
Michelle said, “This morning I wrote a verse and capitalized one word to focus on. What a treasure His Word is because He revealed something new to me through a verse that I have read so many times before! Thank you for suggesting this. I am excited and expectant to see what else He shows me. I do think I am going to have to get up even earlier though! LOL!”
She hit the nail on the head with that word: treasure.

You can, of course, write Scripture every day on your own.
But if you would like encouragement and ccountability (which I think are key elements), then …
1. Hand-write a verse each day for a week.
2. Extra credit – focus on one word in that verse and underline it.
3. Share how your week of Scripture writing went with our private online small group …
Join our private encouragement and accountability group here.
Feel free to hop in the group any time.
I can’t wait to see your treasures!
1. Do we have to write in calligraphy?
No! I usually use my regular handwriting for verse journaling. But feel free to use calligraphy if you want to. It would be a great way to practice!
2. Will you give us a verse list?
Yes or no – it’s your choice. If you don’t use a list, you can do what I like to do, which is hunt for verses to write from whatever Bible study you happen to be doing. You may be reading through a certain book of the Bible or you may be doing a workbook study with a small group. You may be reading a daily devotional or you may be reading the Bible chronologically on your Bible app. Whatever study you are doing will work. But if you prefer to have a list of verses to write, here you go.
3. What if I miss a day (or a week)?
Grace is given here. Just jump back in when you can!
4. Does the Bible tell us to write verses?
Read this article about 10 people in the Bible who wrote down Scripture.
5. What if I didn’t start on January 1st?
No worries! Join anytime.
6. Do I have to use your pages or journals to join the small group?
No. Write on whatever you want! The only requirement is that you write.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
