I am blessed to be able to do a Women's Bible Study group last year and this year as well.  This is due to time (work) restraints and if I am being honest, I was hesitant to be in a group of women that I don't know. My excuses did keep me away from God blessing me through the fellowship of faithful women. My fear of getting loop into women's drama kept me from the wonderful friendships. However, God is so faithful as to not leaving us where we are. There is a truth in "God will meet you wherever you are" and "God opening doors". He paved a way, open my heart and eyes, and stirred my soul to join the Bible Study.  I can tell you how much of a blessing it is to be surrounded with imperfect women with the same goal of having a deeper relationship with Jesus, leading and inspiring our families to Christ, coming to Christ with our imperfectness and inability to do life without our Savior.

  My study of the bible had evolved over the years. From just reading it for the sake of checking a box to reading commentaries, digging into the verses that I do not comprehend. I personally love several apps such as the Enduring Word, Blue Letter Bible, and the Holy Bible app. The convenience of these app are so helpful. However, I also love study Bibles! While using the apps are convenient, opening and reading your Bible hits different. I love being able to write notes, scribble, and highlight! Do not even get me started with a collection of pens and highlighters. More of the supply I use for Bible study soon!

    I am also blessed to receive a copy of CSB Women's Study Bible (ordering info at the bottom of this post). I love the design! Colorful yet classy. Big yet convenient size. The fonts are easy to read and the features or specs are AMAZING! I love reading the Bible in different versions most specially when I do not understand the scriptures. If you are looking into a Bible for this year and will help your spiritual growth, the CSB Women's Study Bible is the perfect study bible for you! Use this as a group study or for personal use but however you choose to use it, my prayer is that it will help you fall in love in getting to know God's heart and plan for your life.
