Good Thursday morning, ladies!
We pray all is well with you and yours this day.
Originally, we had the thought to post this on Monday, but then the big Winter Storm of 2014 blew in and kind of threw our system off kilter. We ended up posting information about Bible study instead, and the next day we hunkered down at our respective homes while the ice and snow barely reached the ground on Tuesday. Needless to say, things unexpected and unplanned for ended up swirling and here we are and it’s Thursday and I was not going to let this post go to waste.
If she comes to mind, you wouldn’t waste a prayer on Beth, or any of her family or LPM as she is preparing simultaneously for multiple teaching opportunities. Ones that have been on the calendar for well over a year, but the time is now so she’s neck deep in preparartion. I know I don’t have to tell you that she is one of the hardest workers I know which in return blesses us. We’re so grateful for your prayers and support. We love y’all so much.
So, onto Bible study! We usually don’t wait until nearly the end of January to hear from you about Bible study, but it’s better late than never, right?
Inquiring minds want to know, what Bible study are you digging into this semester? As we’ve mentioned here a few times, we just launched our Tuesday night Bible study titled: Breath: The Life of God in Us, but we want to know what you are up to?
How about we do this, tell us your name, your city and your Bible study of choice and if you’re going at it solo or with a group or leading or attending. There are countless studies out there today, so do not feel one ounce of pressure (and please do not hear us saying) that we only want to know if you’re doing a “Beth Moore” Bible study. It is our joy to hear all the different authors you are studying under!
We even want to hear from you if what you’re committed to this semester, or this year, is reading through the Bible in one year. That’s big, B I G, and we want to cheer you on and walk alongside you. Sometimes we’re not committed to something until we speak it out loud or write it down for someone else to see. A little accountability never hurt anyone!
To make it fun, I’ll go ahead and post my answer in the comments! I miss doing that!
This is short and sweet but we’ll look forward to hearing from you!
I’m in the Midland, Texas Bible Study Fellowship class. Also leading a group of young girls in a separate study of Matthew at my children’s school!
I am leading Priscilla Shirer’s JONAH. This is our first PS study, a big step away from my ladies’ favorite: Beth Moore. After doing the GIDEON study this summer with my daughter; I prayed about trying PS out. God, in His divine way, made it impossible to do GIDEON(we may try it next). We are excited to see what we glean from this new one for us, JONAH!! I am also personally using Good Morning Girls and Proverbs 31 Ministries as my own personal time! I am encouraged each time I see a new blog post from you all! Thank you for sparking the study of scripture for women everywhere!~denyse smith, Delaware, OH
We are finishing up a small group study on Loving Well that is being held in my home. This is the 1st time that I’ve hosted & I’m really enjoying it. We are doing it as a 4 week study & there is a group of 7 of us including myself and we all live on the same street and some attend the same church and others attend different churches.
It’s been such a joy to get together with these ladies & listen to Beth’s videos and then come together the next week to see how God is speaking to us and what we are learning about loving from the well of love that only God can fill.
I will add Beth to our prayer list for the week as we have a private FB group where our small group can share things. This is our last week of this study and I’m excited to see what The Lord has is store for us next!
I love the timing of this post! Currently, a small group of ladies I have been studying with for three years now having recently been working on a few studies out of the Kay Arthur’s series that requires no homework. We are just finishing up “How to Walk The Talk” and will do next “Living Victoriously in Difficultt Times”. But these are 6 week studies meant to keep busy/struggling people in the word to help keep them connected & committed to studying each week. There are some great ideas here for getting back to some of the meatier studies. We have completed just about every one of Beth’s studies with James being our last. We haven’t tried Breathe or Sacred Secrets yet. Still praying about what’s next for us.

I am doing the read the bible in a year program, just me, wanting to be back in closer touch with my Lord and Savior. I’m also doing different daily devotions to get my day started. Right now I’m reading Ann Voskamp’s 1,000 gifts and looking for my three little precious gifts from God each day.
And Lindsee, it was such a joy to meet you at SSMT. Being a northerner in the thick of snow (we only got 100 inches this week but the area just north of us got 300), be safe and stay off those roads!
And thank you, Siesta Mama, for all your hard work. I so wish I could come to the event in February to hear all my favorite teachers teaching from one platform. May God bless that gathering in a mighty way!

Beginning “Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit” next Thursday evening. I lead this study. There are normally 8-12 ladies that come to my home. Several of them come straight from work so I always prepare dinner for them and a yummy dessert.
In deciding on the next study I would read each of Mrs. Moore’s options and kept going back to this study. I don’t think the ladies will be disappointed. I’m excited!!
I am going through Beth Moore Believing God for the second time. Leading it with a group of wonderful ladies here in Brandon, Florida. We meet on Wednesday nights. In addition to this I am going through Made to Crave,
I am doing Beth’s Here and Now…There and Then in a church Bible study group and Revelation; Awaiting the bridegroom by Susan Currie at home.
I committed to reading the Bible in a year back in March 2013. I’ve tried several times and failed. To say that I have not missed a day and am almost done is amazing to me. I have about 60 left!

Our entire church is studying Forgotten God by Francis Chan in small groups. My group is led by my husband. I’m also reading through the Bible on a two year plan. And a friend and I are going through the book, Women Living Well.
Deb in Windsor, CT:
I have actually committed for the first time to reading the Bible in a year. This should be interesting, as I have a 6-day-old and two other kiddos. I really want to keep at it and stick with it…would appreciate prayers!! 🙂
Just began a group study at Southeast Christian Church called, Remembering the Forgotten God. Loved the precious women at my table. Most much younger than I, but just so much fun! Learning to be in step with the Spirit. Love!
Hi, I’m reading the NRSV through this year—an edition with C.S. Lewis quotes interspersed throughout (near scripture passages that relate). I love it! Our Women On Mission Bible study of WHEN GODLY PEOPLE DO UNGODLY THINGS has been postponed and should begin next Thursday. At home, I’m reading SECRET CHURCH, STREAMS IN THE DESERT, JESUS CALLING in the morning with some scripture memory review. At night, my husband and I read a G. K. Chesterton devotional book together and pray. LITTLE VISITS WITH GOD with my daughter, and ABC Psalms I chose from different translations. These are all a blessing! Oh, and a prayer partner friend in another state is reading & discussing RAISING A GODLY DAUGHTER on the phone. I miss the Siesta Sisters Scripture Memory posts, but am continuing to learn and review what I can. God is SOOOOOO good!!!!
Carrie Gill, Tyler, TX
I am doing a study called The Amazing Collection. It is a three year study that covers the entire Bible, book by book. We are studying Ezra this week.
I am reading the Bible through this year….I began doing this when our son was a small toddler…I use the Daily Walk as my guide. There have been years I used Closer Walk. It does just the NT. Our Bible Study Girls are doing Lisa Harpers Malachi A Love That Never Let’s Go. I am leading along with my BFF Betty. There is so much joy in the family of sisters studying together.
Much love many prayers
The group of 19 I am leading this semester are doing Beth’s lecture series Deuteronomy-The law of love.
I am adding homework from Warren Werseibe’s book Be Equipped as an option for those who want to study more of the book. I am also going to show a Ray Vanderlaan video concerning the wedding on the mountain (Sanai). I am richly blessed and changed through each of Beth’s studies.
I am from Christ United Methodist Church in East Moline IL. Some of our ladies are from other churches.
Praying for Beth!
