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 am going solo and doing Kelly Minter’s No Other Gods bible study.
My husband and I are also reading the Bible through in a year. We did it together last year and loved it!
I am facilitating a group of 18 ladies and we are doing Lisa Harper’s study of Hebrews. I am following a plan to read the New Testament through in a year and am trying to memorize the book of I John with my daughter, who’s on mission in England this year. She challenged me, so we’re doing it together and I need prayer for that! haha! The Lord helped me to memorize the book of James last year (at Beth’s prompting!), so I’m trusting Him to help me with I John, too!
I’m doing Daniel by Beth for the second time but learning so much AGAIN! Thank you:) Also in a study by Jeff & Emily Cavins called “Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart.” Oh, how I love the Word of God!
I am doing her study on “Daniel” for the second time as well with a group of wonderful women. I did it years ago and need a refresher course on it. It is really deep and I need it again. God bless you as you do it again, I am learning more the second time.
At Floyd Springs Baptist in Rome, GA we just started Beth’s study on the Psalms of Ascent this past week. The first week of study is already hitting close to home. I am so excited to see how this study impacts all of the wonderful ladies in our church.

I’m currently going through Beth’s book “Believing God” and find it to be incredibly encouraging. Hooray for the free eBooks!
I have done that study and it is wonderful; I did it years ago and I still remember things that I learned from it. I hope you enjoy it and learn as much as I did. God Bless you through this study.
I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
The Ladies Bible Study group at Bethany Lutheran Church Austin Tx is doing the Gideon study by Pricilla Shirer. I love it and am learning so much. And with all studies, it seems like God knows just what I need at the time.
I’m in Assumers Annonymous! Thanks for that. I’ve been working on it. I should be the last to assume anything but I still do.
Great Blog. Like your thoughts. I wake like that ALL THE TIME. Thoughts and thoughts just rolling over each other and I couldn’t get them out fast enough to get them all out if I tried. I got a voice recorder to help with this. Haven’t used it much cause it makes me feel odd but its a great way to get tumbling thoughts out so that they can be recaptured and written. But then I’ve also prayed and the Lord has given me back forgotten thoughts for writing. 🙂
Maryann,Norwood, MA, Tomorrow I am starting A Confident Heart by Renee Swope with a fabulous group of women from my church.
I am also 6 mos into reading the bible. My goal was to complete it in a year but some books are hard to get through and I know it will take me a little longer! Would love your prayers that I will persevere! Blessing to you all.
I am doing Jesus the One and Only, by Beth also doing Master life we are on book 3. I live in Bartelso, IL.
I have not done this study yet! I need to do it.

My sweet husband bought me The Patriarchs by our Siesta Mama Beth for Christmas, so I am on week 5 (starting today) of that. Going solo!!!
Melissa Henderson, Jefferson, Oregon. Our church, The Shift, is hosting Beth’s Sacred Secrets study, which is amazing! I have The One Year Bible and am reading through the Bible in a year, which I try to do every year! It really helps get the Word in my head and heart to read it over and over!
Donna from Lebanon, Indiana
I am 4weeks into Living Beyond Yourself by Beth. Working with a Wednesday night church group. Signed up for True Woman 101 by Nancy Leah Demoss, due to start that one in March.
I have been reading through my Bible about 6 months now finally gotten to Luke!! I’m going to make it! 🙂
Thank you Beth. I truly appreciate ALL your time and hard work. You are a blessing!!
There are 9 of us and we call ourselves “Beth’s Babes” Been studying with Beth for perhaps 5 years now.
We are in Newport Beach, CA. Currently studying Daniel. Prior to that we studied “Faithful Abundant and True”. That study touched me more than any I think I’ve ever done. The Lord’s timing is perfect.
Thank you ALL for all that you do!

Pam D., Hendersonville, TN. I’m doing Lysa Terkeurst’s online Bible study, “Made to Crave” with my 18 year old daughter and about 40,000 others! Loving it!
I am leading a study at our church on Thursday mornings and we are doing “Believing God”. Just love this study. I did it years ago but love it and learning more each day!
Group study of Pricilla Shirer’s “Gideon”
Loving it and Learning much!!
I’m leading a group of ladies through your Inheritance series…we are not bored!
I’m doing what I’m told to do! The friend that disciples me, (one on one), has me doing the CBS version of the Daniel. The girl I disciple is “making” me do Beth’s Fruit of The Spirit study. What’s so funny/embarrassing, is that as i go through the workbook, some pages have notes and others don’t and all of the video wrap ups are familiar. And when i look up a verse in my Bible, i have notes written in my Bible from the study! So, apparently, i have started the Fruit study at least once, maybe more, and never completed it! i’m thinking God REALLY wants me to “get” this, cuz here i go again- and it was not of my own choosing! But it’s a whole different ball game when I’m in charge and have to be prepared, vs being a participant! Oh the accountability! So i WILL stay steadfast and diligent and get thru “the Fruit”! and am eating it up! (no pun intended!). And I’m going to the Houston conference Feb 21, 22- “Unwrapping the Bible”- can’t wait! I’m in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Ou church had our yearly women’s retreat last weekend, and the speaker was Rochelle Frazier. I would encourage any and everyone to check out her blog. A lot of what she spoke on is on there. She has a great story of redemption and restoration, and is a great story teller and speaker. Scripture rolls off her tongue. check her out!

Beth Moore’s study on Daniel with a group of ladies in my church…it’s opening my eyes, changing my worldview and growing my faith…thanks!
I’m doing “Stronger” by Angela Thomas at our Wednesday night Bible Study at Destiny Christian Church, Rocklin, CA
I am leading Beth’s study of Esther for a delightful group of young mom’s. I am so thankful for the wonderful studies that Beth has made available!!

I’m attending:
1) Tues. Night Houston – Breath: The Life of God in us
2) BSF (Bible study fellowship) on Matthew
3) Precept – Zechariah
Love studying Gods word and really feel Blessed to attend & hear Beth Moore live in Houston, I brought 2 new friends to this study.
I am also greatly blessed by the friendships God has given me from sitting at the door for Beth Moore.(2006-2014, I moved here 2006 from CT) & facebook keeping us connected.
My friend Ann (who I met sitting at door several years ago) gave our little group the name WATDL = Waiting at the door ladies 🙂
May God continue to Bless Beth Moore, her family, her ministry & staff & volunteers
Have a Blessed Day, Week 🙂

Here at Caldwell Friends Church in Caldwell, Idaho we are excited to dive into Beth’s Law of Love!
I’m from San Antonio, TX. Reading through Bible in One Year from Nicky Gumbel. Love it. Looking for a group of people who would love to have a weekly or monthly get together for discussions on the readings/devotions. If there is one in San Antonio I can join please post info if you can.
Thanks.
