Don’t give up. We are studying John, well, part one didn’t come in, so we started with part 2 with Chapter 12. I broke the lesson plan into smaller segments. Slow down and enjoy the journey. I’m not stressing about keeping up with the study class lesson plans. I do what I feel comfortable doing. I’m learning so much and feel so much closer to God by reading his word. My main tip is “Keep watching Faith as she is my main resource and inspiration”. Oh, I noticed that the ladies around me, that I’m the only one writing in my Bible, can’t see everyone.

Twenty some years ago, I had never read through the whole bible. I finally did it when I bought a One Year Bible, which has OT, NT, Psalms & Proverbs in daily sections. I also started a small group in my house to discuss each week's assignment. The group only lasted a few months, (due to the wild, destructive kids that parents brought along,) but I did develop the habit of reading through the bible in a year. Since then, the One Year Bible has an online blog. There are other well known bible reading plans, such as the M'Cheyne plan, which I have used for 2021 & 2022, using D. A. Carson's two "For the Love of God" daily companions. In recent years, I have used a different study bible each year. The one I have lined up for next year has awesome footnotes. It is the Fire Bible. I am debating using your Grace Plan for next year. I haven't bought an interleaved bible yet. Maybe someday God will lead me down that road. (I am one of your quiet Patreon supporters. I only live one state away.)

Take faiths Bible study boot camp. 💖🙏✝️

I just found your channel and really enjoyed your content and how you present it. I have been studying the Bible for years but I do remember how overwhelming it was when I started. Some tips I still use is asking questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Not every passage will answer all the questions but it helps to focus your study. I also make lists of repeated words or phrases. These are important. Ask the above questions about these. You will start to notice throughout the Bible that God will often repeat words and phrases to convey their importance. I also use the word study tools. I liked how you said the Bible is about God not us. We often forget that. Bless you with your ministry!

If you had a podcast on Spotify I definitely would listen to you.!

keep reading the Bible!

This!! Like 1000%!! At this point, there are very few benefits from public school and they just do not justify sending them. Nearly every parent out there has the ability and access to homeschool! At this point in our human evolution in our technology, we all nearly have a 100% rate of having access to not only the resources to teach our children anything we want with an infinite amount of knowledge at the tips of our fingers for the cost of an internet connection we’re already paying for AND the access to learn the skills to be able to ultimately work from home by finding a new job or creating one in order to ultimately be able to do so for your child! The issue here is so many parents choose not to, don’t want to and make excuses not to instead while using those same resources to do other things that don’t benefit them/their children as much while complaining as though they ‘can’t’. If you REALLY want to do this or anything else in life, you will find a way to find away to make a way to make it happen. If not, all you will make is excuses. This is true for nearly every parent out there! Even the single parent or a special needs child! Does it take more work? Of course! But it’s well worth it and parents should be investing in their children anyways, not ‘just’ providing for them with a their financial needs from a job. To add to this, homeschooling for take the same 8++ hrs a day of hands on learning just because that’s the same timeframe your children are in school. Even in that setting, a child is not going to spending all that time doing so just because they are there. Many parents would be shocked to learn that on an average day, most kids spend only an average of 45 mins of actual hands on learning throughout their whole entire school day!! This is to include all of the constant interruptions and distractions as well as playing constant catch-up to meet the needs of the whole entire class. In an individualized environment where a child is allowed to thrive and their needs are actually met, you can get far more done in an hour of homeschooling than you can in 8hrs of sending them to school and I guarantee you that that info is actually retained when doing so over a child just wanting to come home from school and decompress because their day was too overwhelming for them and they don’t remember hardly anything they were forced to ‘learn’ that day, ultimately was their time and having to recap constantly to review and force it to stick. They may say repetition is key in learning things, but that is so unnecessary when a child can actually be allowed to learn at their own pace and can actually grasp the concepts at hand to actually comprehend what they are learning. So many things are taught before a child is ready and that’s why it’s reiterated so much over time; again, completely unnecessary! While I’m not advocating for not ever teaching a child math, it’s been proven that if they don’t pick it up much, until later on, by the time they are about 16, and have the mental capacity to be able to learn and comprehend such concepts, they can learn all of the math concepts from the beginning of simple addition, all the way up to calculus in under 9months with less stress, more retention and greater ability to actually truly understanding what they are being taught-which is what true learning is actually all about! Yet, we drudge through it all year after year with our children thinking if we do not drill these concepts into their heads early on, they will never learn it and won’t want to do so on their own-ever! Which is just not true! Forced learning unnatural ways, is far more detrimental to their ability to want to learn things naturally and turns them off to wanting to do so. If anyone has ever seen a child who has been freely allowed to learn whatever they want to and not been subjected to forced education, will see that you cannot stop children the curiosity of the child who are like that! They want to learn it all, not the opposite! My 9 yr old is learning square roots and exponents just for fun and he taught himself to read! He loves to do math with extremely large numbers, loves geometry and algebra and was working with negative numbers 2 yrs ago. He’s super curious about EVERYTHING especially science and if he were in school, he’d be labeled as ADHD because he just wants to know it all and would have been held back from his full potential because he’s learning things far beyond his grade level. Instead, he’s at home, allowed to thrive and follow his passions of art and cooking. My oldest is not almost 24 and on his way to be a LEGO set designer and wants to move to Denmark to be able to do so. My children aren’t special, just allowed to follow their own paths in their learning and when a child is allowed to do so, they end up so much better off than those who are treated like if they won’t tolerate it being shoved in their faces by some arbitrary age, then they just won’t ever get it-ever! None of that is true, but it takes a lot of trust in the natural process of how things are supposed to be. You can’t get there with the ‘school at home’ thought process in mind. It takes a whole lot of deschooling to do so.

As a former public school teacher I have an insider's point of view. That said, I strongly recommend people to NOT send their children to public. You will be shocked by what they are learning that you won't find out about until years later (when the damage is already firmly entrenched).

I’ve been trying also girl and sometime I open it and I tell God to guide me to were I’m suppose read but idk sometime I feel like it doesn’t work idk

I also struggle with my morning quiet time when I'm sick. I like my specific Bible routine at my desk or table, but have a hard time adapting to change like sickness or early morning appointments. My wise sister keeps reminding me that I can listen to the Bible or some sermons, so that I am still intaking God's Word. I forget those options because I get stuck in a rut.

​@@Glimpseofmylife_all of it is good so don't stress it too much. Also if you are really struggling maybe listen to the bible instead.

Glad to hear it!

Thanks for writing about your love to write because I am the same and its something I have struggled with and knowing you struggle as well and now listen to this you tube has encouraged me like one thousand percent.

@Julie I struggled with praying too. I think it was because I never knew how to begin a conversation with Him. I felt silly. But after you realize that God knows you feel its a struggle, it becomes easier to talk to Him. I began by just saying, "God, its hard for me to feel the push when it comes to talking to you. I know that you know all things, so I pray that you will create the perfect avenue for us to converse freely and happily so that we can become unified in hearts and soul. I know this is what you desire Lord. Please grant me the same desire and eagerness to be one with you". As time went on, I searched for my secluded place to be with God. I talk to Him with my voice and not just my thoughts. I decided that maybe He desired to hear my actual voice. Things began to change. The love and desire I have for the Lord became like an echo through my life, my home and all the little things in life. He is our Father. The perfect Farther and creator of all things and He loves you and wants to feel that bond. His ability to love is *HUGE*.
