New Bible Study Starts this Month!

Hello friends!

This year I started a Facebook Bible Study Group   It is for us to study God's Word together online.  Several of you asked to do this together and I knew God was calling me to lead it.  It definitely does not take the place of your local church but gives us virtual friends a time together to dig deeper in the Bible together. Sometimes it gives you that extra accountability if you have friends online cheering you one right?

One thing I am passionate about is sharing the gospel of Jesus. We as women need encouragement and to know God's Word for our self not reading second hand knowledge of it through other writings but read and understand the Bible for our self.  It can be intimidating if you have not done it before but God meets with us on the pages and you can do it.  There is no right or wrong way.  I promise. If you are wanting learn more about a book of the Bible then lets do it the book of Ruth.

I am inviting you today to join the group and help encourage other women in studying the Bible as we study Ruth this month!
Ruth is a beautiful story of our 'Kinsman redeemer' God and His lovingkindness to his people.

We will start October 18th in the GROUP  and all you need is your Bible.  A good Study Bible with cross references is great and then go online to  www.biblestudytools.com for more helps.  I also use a good commentary either find one in your local library or online too.

I will be posting in the GROUP  each week and we will have a Live discussion each week in the group as well.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Grace and Peace friends!

Is it Fall yet?

Hello there friends!

Yes it still feels like Summer here in Tennessee but man am I dreaming of the cooler temps coming.  Fall and Winter are pretty mild here in Tennessee and I kinda get jealous of the states where you can wear all the snuggly scarves and knit sweaters.  I only get a few weeks in here in the Winter that I am able to wear them because the temps are just too mild.

That doesn't usually stop me from grabbing my hand knits as soon as the temps drop. haha!

My favorite accessory for Fall is my knit cowls so I thought for a limited time I would add some pre orders to the SHOP .  Pre Orders will end after 9/31


I am also offering my first knitting pattern in the SHOP for those of you who want to make your own infinity scarf!
It is a great beginner knitting pattern.

Let me know if you knit one up. Share your pictures me on Instagram or Facebook


Here is a few pictures of the scarf colors available for pre order!

Soft Gray

Winter White 

Talk to you guys soon!

How do I understand the Bible?

 

Relentless Pursuit Hand Stamped & Hand Knit Bracelet

I don't understand the Bible.

Is that a statement you have said or thought?

 Have you felt like reading the Bible was just frustrating because it was a lot of historical words and what could this possibly mean for me?

Well, reading the Bible is more about finding out who God is rather than about me or you.  I use to feel this same way. Its hard and really not that interesting of a book until God changed that perspective with a challenge to just read the Bible everyday. That's it! Everyday little by little using a reading plan in the EVERY DAY WITH JESUS BIBLE   I was hooked everyday I prayed the Holy Spirit will reveal His Word and bless my time in it.  Since then it has given me a hunger and thirst for more.  There is so much to learn about God which then teaches me how I am to be like.

Here are my tips to Understanding the Bible...

1. Make reading the Bible a habit. Ask the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom to understand as you read more and more. If there is specific scripture you want to dig deeper into then write it down and even meditate on it throughout the day and week.

2. Intentionally plan to read everyday. It doesn't matter to God when you do it as long as you do it. This is harder in  different seasons but still doable. Begin with a plan.

3. Write out your thoughts and prayers during your time. God is a teacher and His character is all through the Bible and soon you will find out that Jesus Christ is the connecting thread throughout the entire Bible. So jot down those characters of God you see and how we should be more like Him.

I am rooting for you friend as we read the Holy Bible!
