I found a Bible that I loved at Goodwill the other day and decided that the title page needed art. I chose this to remind me to live my faith brightly because it was someone living their faith brightly in a place where not many Christians were that brought me back to Christ.

I started the Ancient Paths 90 day scripture writing plan today. Summer vacation for the older kids leaves me with far less time for cutting things out or sitting down and being crafty so this is something that is still pretty and easier to do more often.

This is actually my first summer balancing my Bible study with my busiest sewing season. I’ve owned my Etsy shop for sixteen years, but this is the first year I’ve been walking with Christ while preparing for the Halloween rush. I’m realizing that my quiet time has to look different than it did this spring. Instead of large journaling projects, I’m moving toward shorter Scripture writing plans and simpler studies that I can actually finish while life is busy. One thing I’m learning is that faithfulness doesn’t always mean doing more. Sometimes it means choosing practices you can sustain through the season you’re actually living in. Has anyone else had to adapt their quiet time during a busy season?

I'm excited to finally share something I've been working on behind the scenes. Over the next ninety days, I'll be working through the Ancient Paths Scripture Writing Plan, and I'd love for you to join me. This isn't a study about ancient history or traditions for tradition's sake. It's about returning to the rhythms God has given His people throughout Scripture. As we move through the Bible, we'll explore practices such as prayer, worship, repentance, serving others, generosity, fellowship, meditation on God's Word, abiding in Christ, and living with faithful obedience. Each day we'll write a passage of Scripture, spending time with God's Word one verse at a time. Some days I'll share my journal pages. Other days I'll post thoughts, questions, historical context, or simply invite discussion about what stood out to you. My hope is that this becomes less like a class and more like a group of friends opening their Bibles together. One of the reasons I created this study is because life gets busy. I know mine certainly does. Scripture writing gives me a simple way to stay rooted in God's Word even during seasons filled with family, work, and everyday responsibilities. One passage. One day. One faithful step at a time. If you've been wanting a consistent Bible habit, this is a wonderful place to begin. There's no pressure to catch up if you miss a day, and you're welcome to start whenever you're ready. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is spending time with the Lord and allowing His Word to shape us over time. The complete Ancient Paths Scripture Writing Plan is now available in the Classroom as a one-time purchase. If you'd like to study alongside me, grab your copy, print the pages in your favorite format, and jump in. I'm looking forward to seeing your notes, journal pages, favorite verses, and the things God teaches you throughout the next ninety days. Let's walk these ancient paths together.
