Write The WORD
Write The WORD was born of my passion for getting women into God’s Word on a daily basis. As busy wives and mothers, so many of us struggle to “fill up” — through intentional time in scripture and prayer — before pouring out each day.
Write The WORD provides a simple, manageable framework for daily time in the Word. Each month, I’ll introduce a new topic with selected daily verses printed on a handy bookmark that can be tucked into your Bible. These verses provide a guide for reading, writing, and focusing on specific scripture passages each day.

The ‘Do It’ List
I’ve distilled years of experience in raising a family and keeping a home, and the result is the monthly ‘Do It’ List.
The list is a simple, one-page guide to helping busy women balance the demands of home with a heart for serving God and others. Routine home-keeping tasks are broken up into daily, weekly, and once-per-month responsibilities, with space to personalize the list to suit your own unique circumstances.

Praying with Purpose
31 Days of prompts from Proverbs to inspire you to pray with purpose!
The Scripture I memorized as a child comes readily to my lips, but I find it much more challenging to commit Scripture to memory as an adult. However, the benefits and blessings of having God’s Word hidden in my heart remain unchanged.
Scripture memory is a discipline and brings great blessing. As Paul advised Timothy, Scripture is indeed “…useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness…” (II Timothy 3:16) God has used His Word to do all that and more in my life.
God has challenged me to commit a long passage to memory this year. He has led me to Romans 12 — what a powerful chapter! Would you like to join me in hiding this truth in your heart?
To aid us in our verse by verse journey, I’ve created a little file which you can download and print here: Romans 12.
You can print it on card stock and staple or even glue the pages into a small journal. I find it useful for redeeming the “wait” time at the doctor or dentist, when picking up a child, or when meeting a friend. Incorporating this into my daily quiet time helps to cultivate this discipline.
Would like Write the Word for September

Thanks, now to get the study guide for Romans. I want to go through PayPal for this purchase. So, I’m thinking I should go to your website, is that correct?
I really utilize the To-Do lists every month. It helps me stay focused and on track. It has really simplified my life within the chaos of homeschool, family, and chores.
Holly! Thank you SO MUCH for making time to encourage us. We are so blessed to know this is a helpful and effective tool for you! Blessings to you and your family in this new school year!
Laura, you may remember about seven years ago when you were so kind to reach out during a very difficult season (abandonment by my then- husband of over 31 years as he chose another woman and her family). We chatted and I shared with you how grateful I was that I had attended a class called Healing the Hurts and that my big take away was forgiveness and praying that there would be no bitter root in me. In college, I was so full of myself. In my late twenties, I realized, by God’s Grace that if I were to have a personal relationship with Jesus, I needed to spend time in His Word and in prayer, praising Him, thanking Him, seeking His forgiveness and leading. What you have written is so true in my life! The JOY of the LORD is my strength! I would encourage every woman who reads your “soakings” to invest in intentional time with the LORD in His Word and in His presence. The LORD speaks to me through bringing to my mind scripture that I have memorized. This is how He sustains me in the trials of life.
Thank you Laura for including me in your mailings!
Dianne: I praise God for the work He is doing in your life and how you have refused to allow hard things to make you bitter. His Word is transforming! It is our provision and our protection. Such a joy to reconnect after all these years. Love you bunches!
