They are still 30 day plans so that they can line up with a calendar if I want them too. Instead of doing monthly challenges, I decided that I wanted to create themed challenges. It inspired me to design my own writing plan… A few days ago, I saw someone post a 30 day writing challenge for July. However, I did keep my journal so that I could add to it in the future. I had every intention of finding more 30 day plans (there are plenty of them out in internet land!) but life became hectic and I never followed through. I really enjoyed the challenge of reading and copying a passage from my Bible each day. My first introduction to this was last November when a friend posted a Thanksgiving 30 day scripture writing plan on Facebook. It has become popular over the last year or so for people to write scripture passages for their daily devotions.
