Happy New Year! You’re on the right track. =) There’s no better way to start out a new year – or new day – than to to spend some time in God’s Word. We’re excited to start out our year with our January 2020 scripture writing plan featuring the winter-themed analogy of Whiter Than Snow. But more than that, this topic also perfectly timed because the new year is often thought of as a brand new start with no mistakes in it.
As Christians, though, we’re positioned to start every new day – no matter when during the year – over again with Christ. His mercies are new every morning! We’re called to continually keep reminding ourselves to renew our minds and spirits, to walk in the light, and to repent from any sins – and then we will be continuously washed in Christ’s blood, finding ourselves Whiter Than Snow.
This year (2020) our scripture writing plans have a new format – a calendar grid. Since we’re not publishing our wall calendars this year (and focusing on our faith planners instead), Christy had a great idea to have a printable calendar with a scripture on each day! There’s still enough room to jot down important dates and appointments in the boxes and they include the holiday notations also.
The way I plan to use these is to insert each month’s page into a 8×10 frame (trimming the edges slightly) and then using a dry erase marker to mark off each scripture I complete. But another great idea is to punch holes on the sides and store them in a 3 ring binder (we have created a lovely cover page you can insert in the cover – see below). You may also want to print the calendar pages out on white card stock, have it bound at a local printer, and hang it on your wall.
We will be publishing each month’s calendar page on the first day of the month (or hopefully within a few days before!) for free, as we have already been doing. =) However, if you are interested in having the whole plan at your fingertips throughout the year, you may want to visit our Ruffled Mango Etsy shop for a couple of different options.A third option is to purchase the already PRINTED plan (12 months, in color) – you will receive it in the mail and it’s $12.00, including shipping. You will also receive the pdf for free with this option. (P.S. This option is no longer available for 2020, but our 2021 Scripture Writing Wall Calendars are now available! If you buy a calendar before Dec. 31, 2020, you’ll get the entire set of the list versions for free.)
You can purchase the whole set of 2020 Scripture Writing plans in our Etsy shop here OR the whole set of 2021 plans, which are now available also. (Remember they’re free if you purchase a wall calendar in the next few days!) <<
Our themes for 2020 include:
January: Whiter Than Snow

April: Sanctification
May: A Modest Spirit

We’re excited to offer these extra options this year, to make things easier on you as you follow our scripture writing plan. To continue with each month’s theme, we will also be sending out a FREE iPhone wallpaper with coordinating graphics each month and we will be publishing at least one blog post to go along with the various topics. {So stay tuned for the Whiter Than Snow iPhone wallpaper very soon and blog post on Spiritual Leprosy sometime this month!}
Here’s the free January scripture writing plan >>
P.S. If you’re interested in our new 2021 study called Glorify: A Year in Our Highest Calling, it will be starting on January 1, 2021. It will be self-paced and include the 12 monthly themes for the year. It promises to be an uplifting, God-honoring study – just what we need as we leave 2020 for better days, Lord willing. π
Love,
Kristen, Ashley, Alyssa, & Christy
