Exodus Bible Study

I'm so excited! Today is the start of the Women Living Well Exodus Bible Study-- an 8 week study that covers every chapter of the book.  You read one chapter per day (Monday-Friday) and have a weekly passage of Scripture to memorize (if you so choose). You can find more information about it here:

This is the passage of Scripture to memorize for the entire study (or one section per week)--> Psalm 77:11-20. I've printed it out and set it on my printer next to my desk so that I'll see it everyday and will hopefully memorize it. The Bible says memorizing Scripture is important* and I am definitely lacking in that department. It's never too late to start though.

*Psalm 119:11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
*Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it.
*2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. 

                               

As I study Exodus I also plan to read through the books of Psalms and Proverbs every month. F. Dean Hackett has made and graciously provided a free printable for each book to keep up with your reading progress. You can find them here:

Let me just say here that I LOVE free printables. They're so fun. I found one for 31 Prayers to Pray for Your Husband. I printed all the sheets and then cut out each card individually. I punched a hole through them all and have put them on a little ring so that I can easily flip through every month. If you're interested in some of your own, you can find them here:

Lastly, I'm excited to tell you about my new pens!! Yes, I know...pens. Roll your eyes if you want but I am such an office supplies junkie. These are not just normal pens though. These are special pens. You can write in your Bible without the ink bleeding through, smudging, or ripping your paper. They come in 8 different colors and glide across the page easily. Matt got me an ESV Journaling Bible several years ago and it leaves you room to write in the margins. I've been using pencil but it smudges. I tried pen and it smudged too, in addition to bleeding through the pages. Not anymore! These little pens are wonderful and I highly recommend them if you like to write in your Bible. You can find them here:

I hope you find encouragement this week to read your Bible, study & memorize Scripture, pray for your spouse and glorify God in all you do. He's worthy of your time.
