New Study: He Speaks to Me

New study starting!!!  I am always excited when I get a new study.  Its so fun to open the new book and fill the pages with different colored inks.  Copying bible verses and adding stars and such.  

"He Speaks to Me" is by Priscilla Shirer.  She is an amazing teacher!  The study is about positioning ourselves to hear from God.  Priscilla focuses on Samuel, and his encounter with God when he was just a boy.  This study will also give me lots of great ideas for my journaling bible.

If any of you are in my area please come to our meeting on Tuesday night @ 6pm.

My Bible Study Mini Binder

Hello again!  I wanted to give an introduction to my newly put together bible study mini binder.  The mini binder is a half binder, so it fits a half sheet of computer paper, or whatever else you want to add.   The first section is my planner.  I am using the monthly section of the planner to write down what chapter I am studying, and the daily part of the calender to take notes for my devotional, Jesus Calling.  There is also a page with tiny calendars of 2014 and 2015, which I am using to cross off days for when I read my bible.  My goal is to do a chapter a day, or at least read my bible everyday.   I have taking the planner off of the spiral and punched wholes in it to fit.  I am only keeping about two months in it at a time.  The rest is in another binder, which is going to be for archiving.   

I have taken a signature (a chunk of pages sew into the binding together) from my Jesus Calling devotional so that I could actually put them in between my planner pages.  I got this specific planner because it has an entire page per day for writing, except for Saturday and Sunday, which are both on one page.  

This is today devotional.  I first write a little note or prayer to Jesus, then write out the verses it gives in the devotional.  Today was all about trust! <3

In a separate section I have blank college ruled paper.  which is for my inductive study of Hosea (right now)  I take out the paper and clip it to the front of the binder while I'm writing on it, then clip it to the inside until I am done with it, then  will put it back into that section.  

Another thing I decided to do was to add a bible study at the end.  This one is "Experiencing God at Home"  by Tom & Richard Blackaby. I have not done this study yet, but I have completed their original "Experiencing God" bible study and it was AMAZING!  Probably one of my favorite ever, along with Seeking A Heart like His, but Beth Moore.  I trimmed off the spine (slowly but surely) with my paper trimmer, I also had to take off a bit at the bottom to make it fit nicely.  I am sure a smaller study would have worked easier, but I wanted this one!  

That is all I have so far, but I am loving it!  Everything I need in one, except for my many bibles of course!  

Until next time....

Be Blessed, Amber
