My Favorite Bible Study

Do you struggle with learning and understanding the Bible? I grew up in Church. I Attended Church Camps, Vacation Bible School, and Sunday School and I still struggled with Bible comprehension until I found “The Story” by Randy Frazee. Link to Randy’s Page

It takes the Bible and puts it in chronological order, allowing it to read just like a novel. The Best part about the book is the corresponding bible verses in the back. You can read a chapter, then read the corresponding verses to dive deeper.

To purchase The Story:

The Story Hardcover

The Story Audio Book

The Story Study Guide

The Story Children’s Curriculum

The Story 31 Week DVD Series

I highly recommend using this bible, my personal bible, which is illustrated with a study guide:

My Personal Bible

I also used this commentary:

Tony Evans Commentary

and his study bible is amazing too as a second bible:

Tony Evans Study Bible

Here’s how I did it:

First Time: “The Story” cover to cover.

Second Time:  Story with corresponding scripture from my study bible.

Third Time: Story, corresponding scripture, and Tony Evans Commentary

Fourth Time: Story, Scripture, Commentary, Tony Evans Bible

Fifth Time: Story, Scripture, Commentary, TE Bible, Tony Evans podcast

Each time I dive deeper and deeper, learning and picking up more and more. It’s like watching a movie. Not like Happy Gilmore, more like Game of Thrones. You can learn plot, characters and time line first read. But each time you read it. you learn more about the plot, the details, how the timeline works and become more familiar with characters.

But more importantly you learn about God. His plan, his purpose, his love for you. You learn your purpose and how you fit into his perfect plan. You build your own intimate relationship with The Lord. It’s simply LIFE CHANGING.

I would love to connect with you in messenger with any questions or feedback you may have.

Happy Reading! Go Grow with the Lord. You’ll never make a better investment than this one.

 

XOXO,

I haven’t been my usual self. Not for a long while now. 
I’ve been a roller coaster honestly. 
Since 2020, where everything in my life changed. 

I’ve experienced loss. I have experienced death. I have experienced divorce.
Maybe I wasn’t old enough to fully grasp or understand but I do now. 

I didn’t lose my child, but I walked through the loss of a friends child. I was quite literally in the trenches. I fought public battles and private ones. 
We experienced a financial blow where our secretary embezzled from us, lying to us, leaving us with quite a mess to clean up. But we did it. 
I experienced the betrayal of my best friend. A loss I had to endure mostly in private as to not bring more public scrutiny to an already tragic situation. 
I had my step daughter come live with us, then my step son. Changing life as we know it. Our Choice, but never the less. 
Add on Covid, an economic downturn turn, grumpy people, and just heaviness in the world. 

It’s hard to share links and stuff when life has humbled me like this. 
It’s hard to talk about being a boss when you’re struggling to understand. 

And I’m still struggling. Material things seem so trivial now. Goofy reels can make us laugh but honestly, all I feel is serious. 

People’s lives have forever changed. People lost people, people are dying, people uprooted from their homes, their lives turned upside down. Children suffering, and so much unhappiness. 

I’m trying to understand my new purpose. But it seems so much deeper. So much larger. So much more profound. I just haven’t got there yet. 

In the mean time, where does that leave us? Sure, I’ll show you the new fan I got, (shark flex breeze which is amazing for real) but what I really want to show you is life after tragedy. 
Life after betrayal. 
Life after hurt. 

I’ve lived an amazing life. So many things to be grateful for. So many poor choices leading me to a life of gratitude and happiness. I’ve been on top. I’ve been on bottom. I have earned my way to all of it. 

Choosing gratitude amidst chaos. Choosing happiness amongst confusion. Choosing a forward path when so much is pulling you backwards. 

Always having hope. 🤍
Hardest working man I have ever met. 
I wanted a new UTV, he made it happen. 
I wanted a new coop, he made it happen. 
I wanted  chicken tractor, he made it happen. 
I wanted a new table to eat dinner outside on, he made it happen. 
I send a recipe, he makes it happen. 

No matter how big or small, he makes it happen. 
No matter how important or silly, he makes it happen. 

He answers every single time I call. 
He holds me any time I want. 
He does whatever It takes to make me happy. 

He shows me I matter in every single thing he does, every single minute of every single day. 

He is my husband. 🩷
Something I’ve been noticing lately…
People go to other people looking for advice. The problem is, they don’t give all the details. 
People love to give advice, with out hearing all the details. 
Especially when it involves 2 people. 

If you’re seeking advice with out sharing both sides, it’s not actually advice you’re seeking, it’s validation. 
If you’re giving advice with out hearing both sides, it’s not advice you’re giving but enabling. 

Ask yourself, does this make sense? Is there more to the story? Bc the truth is, people who genuinely love and care for their friends or family give safe, honest, open, sometimes hard truth advice. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Bc real love and real friendship wants what’s best, not just what we want to hear.
