This video is an answer to my prayer this morning. I admitted to God that I go too fast when reading and don’t always ask the Spirit for guidance and understanding. This is a word of encouragement for you, that you don’t always know if anyone is paying attention or who you help out in your videos. Bless you, and glory to God!

I like how you mentioned not to worry about the color coding!

I just love what you did with writing scriptures in circles. It looks beautiful! ❤️

U r Soo right! I'm new to Bible journalin and watching all different videos is overwhelming. Then I'm like where do I start. This is helpful cause it is more important to read it than coloring. Thank u

Your passion for the Word is beautiful and contagious!

I cross reference as well. I also go to my son's study bible for more explanation of I have questions or don't completely comprehend. I may use my Bible app for a commentary too. I don't stop until I have the a comfortable understanding . I then write out the complete chapter in my Bible journal with the added explanation. This help it stick in my mind better plus I can always go back and re-read when I want to refresh my memory. It does take awhile. Sometimes I even look up words just to get the complete definition. I'm sure this video will help alot of people get started doing this. 👍😁

OMG....that writing in a circle is amazing. I love that👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💖💖💖👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✝️✝️✝️

Great video have my bloom Bible ready to start. I want to thank you for giving of your time. I also want to thank you family and husband for allowing to take time for this.

I love this video my Sister Cat ❣️ I love reading my bible it brings me closer to Yeshua🙏🙏

Thank you for showing this study method, I want to grow more and sometimes feel lost, I will be giving this a try. God Bless you for helping so many grow closer to God. ✝️♥️

2:48 So true I try to follow a color-coded pen study method; which involves six colors and I could not figure out which one to use ! I’m just gonna grab a pen for anything so I’m just gonna read what God put in front of me.

Love the tip to use references to follow the scripture trail throughout the Bible.

What a wonderful way to help Christians in their walk with God. Thank you so much for explaining this so well. May God continue to bless you and yours 🙏🏻

This is so helpful! Love your channel!!🙌🏾

Great suggestions. I love the circular writing.

So I just read Psalms 5 a few hours ago, then i came to your video and you talk about the same chapter. God is so cool. Thanks for your videos.

Sure we do want to see the kitty walking around! LOL I enjoyed that. One of our cats often comes up to us at night when we are praying together. It's very special.

Such a great idea writing the scripture in a circle. Love it.Thank you for sharing this technique. I am definitely going to give this a try.

Your scripture circles are so neat!!! I like your ideas. Take care.😻🙏

Great tips as always sis! Thanks, you've inspired me to go back to chain scripture writing and I had a lovely afternoon just doing this over the subject "fear of the Lord" and I was amazed at how time flew esp sitting outside in the sun. Oh, what a glorious way to spend time with our Lord! Love you to pieces sis, you always have such amazing tips to keep bible study always fresh and interesting. And I love those circle scriptures (you know we will want to watch you do that!! )

Such a good video! Thank you for sharing such neat ideas. & you are right when we focus on marking it highlighting it all becomes overwhelming and we forget the main reason we are reading it for. Thank you again ❤️

Hello Cat. I finally started my bloom bible. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I always thought of myself as not at all creative but I took a dive and trusted God and His promise of my new life which also means God helps me 🤗🤗🤗. Im enjoying this journey and growing and changing. Thank you sister

You are amazing watching you getting excited with THE WORD and being an awesome teacher God’s Speed Sister 🤗🤗🤗

Amazing And informative. Thank you

You my precious child are just blooming and growing in Gods Word more and more everyday! You are Beautiful 🌺🌸 Your ideas are so for your precious heart ❤️!

Hi Cat, Like always, thank you for sharing and love the circle to write scriptures. Since I can remember, I used to mark my bible and add a note here in there. A few years back, I made the decision to study the bible with purpose, but I didn't know how to start. So one day, I searched in the Pinterest how to study the bible or something similar, and I found a pin recommending the best books to study the bible and came across to Living by Book by Howard C. Hendricks and William D. Hendricks. This book opened my eyes. It was like a blindfold fell of my eyes. But, I read it, and I thought I was going to start studying the bible right away. No, it took me about another six to eight months to start my bible study and bible journaling. The book teaches how to really study the bible; some of the chapters are the value of observation, look for things that are emphasized, repeated, interpretation, and application. I highly recommend this book, and there is a workbook too, both highly recommended. Also, I use the five W and H, the five W are who, what, when, where, and why, and the H is for how. I use these whether studying a book of the event of a bible event like the flood: I take notes, write down questions, and my observations. I read commentaries, look at maps from that time, etc. My hope is that somebody can buy the book and learn a thing or two from this book. Sorry for the lengthy post.

❤️ TFS

Great ideas! In particular, the use of two bibles!...Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions.... I have started a "bible garden" after seeing your video and am enjoying it SO Much! Your method is not intimidating to me. I use what supplies i have and do as little or as much as i want!

That's awesome. Could also do on a piece of paper and attach to your bible.

I, for one, was giggling when your cat walked across the screen and had their paw on your bible~♡

This is a very good idea. Thank you! I really want to try this.

Hey, I use the reference in my Bible for reading, but never thought about writing out the references in a notebook like a word study. I need to do more writing of things that I read, and like you said in a notebook or journal. I find so many slips of paper with notes that I started studying all around my house. I need to begin to keep them all in one place, so I can see when I have completed a study. To often I start, but not finish that study because I have them written on pieces of paper all over the place. I love the spiral verse writing. That is a great idea 💡. 💕💕💕 Thanks for sharing, ADEBO (Tim's wife) 💖

I'm going to do this! Thank you so much for this video!

Hi! Thank you for the insight in your videos about this! 💛💛💛

Thank you for sharing ❤❤

Love this video from you today! TFS🤗

Wonderful ideas!

I love it Cat Woods thank you!

Perfect timing. I was just wanting something like this. Thank you!

I loved this video! I totally relate to you when you were talking about the color systems and how we can get too caught up in using the right colors. I have fallen into that before and I definitely lose sight of the Word because I’m to focused on which sentence gets highlighted which color 😂

Thank you,this was so helpful!I enjoy your videos so much.

The spirals are lovely; but, ain't NOBODY got time for dat!!!! LOL Great video Cat.

Wow this is awesome.

THANK U SO VERY MUCH FOR UR HELP! WOW! 2 WONDERFUL VIDEOS IN 1 AFTERNOON! THANK U FOR SHARIN' UR WISDOM!✌️📖✝️🙏🕊️✌️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✌️👏👏👏👏✌️💐🧸🦋🌹🐶✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️😁👒

Thanks for sharing. I learned a lot. Also makes me feel better about not having a color code system. I love the circle verse and your cat's appearance in your videos is always a treat!

Thank you!!

I love this video

Love your videos!

Wonderful video to help those that don’t have any clue How to study the Bible. You are amazing, I’ve been following you for over 2 years.. God Bless you Cat

Thank you I'm totally new this great help

Wow thank you so much.

Inductive study

I sure needed this today! Thanks so very much for taking the time for me and for others to bloom in Jesus. Wow your tips are so great. I know I can do so much better to study the Bible! I am a newbie at this! I have to say, your other bible review's has helped me so very much. Can't wait to see what your going to do next. You cat is so cute!!!!

I love when your cat puts his paws on your Bible. Super cute. Your cat wants to be involved. Praise God! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

👍👍👍👍👍👏amen

@Cat woods - I really enjoyed this! Psalm 5 was a perfect choice for today. It led me to look at both Psalm 4 & 5 in the CSB Version. Glad you had your KJV out because I was doing a comparative as you went through this video. Big difference in the Translations - especially when you go back and forth between Psalm 4 & 5. Loved the chain references and the way you lay your Bibles out to do the Study. I used to do all Bible Study going through each chain years ago. Makes a HUGE difference in what you get out of your Bible Study - especially if you stay focused. 🌺 P.S. - Of course the spiral writing is a great creative BONUS! ✍️🌴

Hey Cat, great video!

Tfs Cat 👍🏻❤️

Woah it's like you're talking directly to me :O

Amén, love how you said we need to pray when reading the word so our mind and eyes can be opened to receive what the Lord wants to speak to us 🙌🏼

I do journaling in my Bibles too, not all, but some of them. Not doing it consistently is my problem, and wish to set aside time each day to do them, or have some kind of schedule. Getting there, slowly.

I love this! I never knew what to do with references. So quick question does the reference on a scripture ever end or does it just keep going and going? When do you stop?

Your kitty looks just like my kitty!

Oh my goodness... your black and white kitty LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE MINE! She has the same exact markings in the same place... they could be identical twins! 😁😁😁

Very very good. The admonishments to ask God where to study, to have fun, to put down the phone etc. are definitely God-breathed. Thank you. Please...what is the second Bible you used in this video???

Thank you so much for putting me on track. I just want to know do you use a word look where it appear in the bible and then search all the references... for instance morning prayer am I understanding it correctly?💗

What are the Bibles you used in this video

Your doing great. I am required my Godvto show you the way JESUS showed me to Study His Word when I died. Everyone is like WOW. YOU CAN HEAR my story on Randy Kay ministries/ Kim keel... or.. deep Believer/ Kim keel

Could you please recommend a small bible with beautiful colours and translation which a non English people can feel comfortable with. Here in my part of the world (Sofia, Bulgaria) I can not find. Thank you for your help!!! ❤️

So, to make sure I am understanding this. When there is more then one reference to a scripture you start with the first reference and take it as far as you can go with it. Then go back and do each reference separately?

we are to come to the Bible knowing nothing like a little child and ask God to lead us.

Cat, thanks for sharing your bible study tips. It was very helpful and it help me out a lot. I really like writing the scriptures in a circle as well. Also, can you share what type of notebook you are using? I’ve been trying to find a notebook that size for my note taking and do to my verse mapping as well. ✨💖

Are you a part of any denomination? Just curious.

7:07 do you have some mistakes like that song small I just use a sticker to cover it up, a cute method that makes it looks like a happy accident. 🌺🌸🥰
