Last year life happened. I know, kind of an obvious statement, but if you are anything like me, you know that sometimes when life happens, studying God’s Word gets put on the back burner. Which is really silly when you think about it, because His word is what feeds and nourishes us.
Moving on.
Last Fall Pam over at Doorposts.com started an online Bible study entitled “Thirty Days of Bible Study for Busy Mamas, Colossians 3.” She promised that the work would only take about 5 minutes a day, and I knew that this was exactly what I needed! I needed to get back into the routine of daily study and the fact that it was going to be quick was going to be a huge help! I wasn’t sure that the study would be very in depth, but was hoping that the routine would lead to bigger and better things.
What a blessing that study was to me! The Lord used Pam to speak to me and teach me more about Him and how my actions are for Him, not myself or anyone else involved.
The Lord also used this study to free me from fear. Fear of following Him, fear of where trusting Him with my whole heart might take me, fear of whole hearted abandon to Him and His perfect will.
So please, don’t think that because it’s only 5 minutes a day, that studying God’s Word won’t change your life! He promises that His word will not return void(Isaiah 55:11).
I am so excited that Doorposts has decided to publish this Bible study in a small bound edition, and is going to be offering it as an eBook as well!
Isn’t it beautiful???
Here are a few things I love about the book edition. First it is very nicely laid out and easy to read. Second, there is no where in this book to write. I know, most of you think that is a disadvantage, however, I really enjoyed making all my notes in my own notebook. Writing in your own book removes the space restraints of workbooks. Apparently, I usually have more to say than that one little line will hold :) Last, I really enjoyed the Appendix of the book. Not only are the materials needed for the study covered with the author’s suggestions for each one, but there is also a section on marking your Bible, making time to study when you have small children, and how to study on your own. All great resources!
I would encourage you to give this study a try. Five minutes a day, and I promise it will impact your life!

I was given a copy of this Bible study for review. I was not compensated for my opinions, and they are my own.
