Every Bed of Roses: Week 3 & 4 {HSMJ}

In my life this week…
Wow those two weeks sped by a lot faster than I expected. Why is it life seems to zoom past when you get older ? I've always enjoyed the idea of writing out scripture and have done so a few times in the past. This month over at His Mercy is New Candace is inviting us to write out Philippians in the month of March. She has a FREE printable (you can download it without subscribing) to help keep you on track. She has a page full of links to FREE monthly calendars and printables to pray God's Word.
