It’s Summer Bible Study Time!

I am all about a good Bible study. Back in the day, it didn’t matter the topic or time, I would be at the church with Bible and highlighter in hand. There is something fabulously exciting about beginning a new adventure in the Word, isn’t there?

Then, I had a baby and another and another and another. Let’s see: 1 baby + 3 anothers…yeah, that’s right. Suddenly, it was difficult to get to that 9:00 a.m. class. Even with childcare, I had no place for my school age children since I homeschool. Then, there were the evening classes. Childcare wasn’t a problem since my husband was home. Those classes, however, usually fell right in the middle of my serving up supper, run the kids through the bath, collapse on the couch exhausted time. Come on, now. You know what I’m talking about. 

And that, my sweet friends, is what I love about Beth Moore’s Summer Siesta Bible study. You can do it in a group. You can do it all alone, on your couch and in your jammies.

I know y’all are all kinds of busy and tired. You work hard for a living. You take care of little ones. You chauffeur big ones. You help out parents and sibling. You babysit grandbabies. You volunteer. You serve. You are a grilled cheese making, laundry folding, coffee drinking machine! And, just maybe, you need to be refreshed.

If so, I want you. Yes, you. I want you to be in my group this summer. Let’s have a HomeLife Bible study group and let’s join the other siestas. If you are interested in signing up for Beth’s Summer Bible study, hop on over to her blog and do so. Then, comment on this post with your name and, maybe, your city or state. That way, we can see who is in our little group.

Then, I’ll hop on here once a week and we’ll chat about what God has said to each of us. I sure hope you’ll join me!

Happy Friday, sweet friends!

Mid-Week Links: The I’ve-Been-Sick-and-Have-Not-Read-Any-Blogs-This-Week Edition

It’s been a long week of coughing and sneezing for the peeps in this house. The most exciting thing I have read is the back of the cough syrup bottle to see if it was time to make the rounds with the meds again. So, while I am certain there has been some fabulous stuff written this week, I’m going to link up to some posts from the last couple of weeks that you may have missed. nightstand

  • In the Midst of the Mess by Vanderbilt Wife (Because Motherhood is all kinds of awesome and all kinds of exhausting and it’s all good.)
  • Idol Lies at Servant’s Life (You don’t always recognize the golden calf until you’re holding it in your hand.)
  • Six Ways to Memorize Scripture at LifeWay Women All Access (I have hidden your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. – Psalm 119:11)
  • 4 Steps to Take When You’re Not Ready for Change at A Holy Experience (You could read any of Ann’s posts and walk away from your computer filled with the love of Christ. Also – you can leave her blog up and listen to the music as you go about your morning. Good stuff.)

I hope today is full of all of your favorite things, my friends. Whatever trial or temptation you face, just remember that Christ is enough.
