Another Scripture Writing Journal Page + Word of Year Journal Card blogged on 25 Feb 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This project showcases 2 different Bible Study/Journaling personal projects' next installments made on February 24 and blogged on February 25. Through the Christian Card Makers Women's Fellowship group in Facebook, I use the Scripture Writing Plan(s) shared by the group administrator. Since I didn't get this started in January, I've been using February days to go back to the January verses. Most days have more verses/passages given but I've edited because of playing 'catch-up'. 

In January, I started doing index card type journal pages/entries for my 2026 Word of the Year (from the Bible). Because I'm at 8.5+ years since a major medical event and just under 1.5 years since my mom passed, I felt the synonyms of 'overcome' and 'conquer' were the best for my 2026 spiritual journey. January's pages 1 and 2 used 'overcometh' and for February pages 3 and 4 using conquers, conquered and conquerors. 

when: projects completed on Tuesday February 24 and blogged on Wednesday February 25, 2026.
