Bible study

I’m not entirely sure which rock I lived under for so many years, but I had no idea that Christmas was called “Advent” until just a few years ago.

Honest to goodness truth.

In the last 12+ months I’ve seen more in the Instagram world about Advent, and the preparation thereof than I have in my whole life {thank you, social media!}. For example, in July of this year one friend {whose husband used to work for the same company as me}, who has started an amazing Bible study group/following/ministry, was showing previews of the study she and her team were working on for this year.

I was kind of like, what’s this Advent thing all about anyway.

Well then, I’ve shared with y’all my love for the She Reads Truth app {get it!!!} and the wonderful studies that are available via your mobile {tablet, anyone?} device. And come to find out they were working on an Advent study too! This is just too good!

So when I saw →this announcement← via SRT way back in October I was super pumped. Then I got a message from a sweet sister-friend “DO NOT buy the SRT Advent study!! DON’T ask questions either! Love you!” I laughed at her and figured I knew she was up to something sneaky.

My hunch was right.

Last Wednesday I got this amazing gift of the She Reads Truth Advent Study Book and I am beyond thrilled to pieces.

It’s beautiful.

It includes recipes!

And sheet music!

And beautiful prints {that WILL be framed!}

4 Memory cards to help us memorize Isaiah 9:6-7

And of course, the GOOD Word.

It is meant to go along with the app that I will still read on my phone every morning, first thing, when I wake up. There’s no better way to start my day than with one eye open {barely}, reading scripture and getting my heart and mind ready for the day.

Um, and these molasses cookies…what the what?!
Are you doing an Advent study? If so, would you share about it? If not, would you consider purchasing the SRT Advent study via their app on your mobile device (it’s a whopping $1.99!)? I promise you won’t regret it!

Much love on this second day of Advent! YAY for Christmas!

OH!!! and MEN, there’s also a He Reads Truth Advent Study!! click here for more info!

So today’s Blog-tember challenge is to write a letter to my 16-year-old-self.

I’m not going to do that…for various reasons, one being that I can’t remember a lot from that era, and would probably give myself a migraine in trying to do so. But another being that I would have to share pictures and well, let’s just say that I’ve come a long way from my 16-year-old-self. Your welcome.

Instead, I’m going to use this day to reflect on the book of Daniel.

I’ve shared with y’all before about the She Reads Truth app…and again, if you don’t have it, get it!

I recently started the study on Daniel – it’s only 19 days so it’s very do-able! I did the Beth Moore study {well, most of it} a few years ago and if you’ve never studied Daniel, It.Is.SO.GOOD.

I have been reminded of so many things while doing this SRT study and wanted to share with you the REALLY good stuff.
