Welcome Ladies!
I'm so excited to start this study with you! I look forward to learning from each of you. God is so good in how he teaches me so much through these online studies through the group he puts together each session. I can't wait to learn to Live Like Jesus this winter!
I will be starting a Yahoo Group and adding each of you to join. This made it so much easier to keep all the Study emails in one place. If anyone joins the group late, then all of the emails we have sent are archived and don't need to be sent to each new member one at a time. Huge time saver! And so nice that we don't each have to add/remove members to a contact list. Please join the Yahoo Group when you receive the invite. If you have any questions let me know!
Subscribe to the GoodMorningGirls.org blog HERE. Once you are subscribed, you will receive emails from them with blog posts that go along with the study. They are very encouraging to read as you do the study. Occasionally I will post highlights from the blog, but I recommend reading the posts as different things will be meaningful to each of us. At the bottom of each email is a link to download the free eBook. If you don't get this soon and would like me to send you a pdf copy I can do that. (Especially since I was later than I wanted to be sending this email out asking you to subscribe.)
Here is what works for me doing an online study.
I will be reading the verses out of my Bible at breakfast with my kids. They LOVE when we finish reading their Bible and get to read out of Mom's Bible. I'll take it! Some great advice I once heard was to fill up on God's word at the table. This has totally worked for us. My kids are still in high chairs and are totally focused at breakfast. I will likely read my verses at breakfast and then at nap time send out my daily email to you.
It is convenient for me to read my verses from www.biblegateway.com. I will copy and paste the verses into my email and do my SOAP journal as an email. This worked for me because everything is saved in my email and I didn't have to hand write in a journal and then type it all out in an email to each of you. I also love Bible Gateway because I can choose 2 different Bible versions and click "Parallel" and read them side by side. I choose NIV and NIrV (the kid's simplified version). This often makes things much easier to understand for me.
This study uses the SOAP journal method. If you aren't familiar with the SOAP journal, here is a link that will explain it for you. http://www.soapstudy.com/index.php You can also use the site to post your own SOAP's if you chose to do so. Some of the girls in our previous groups did the study each day, but were only able to email the group occasionally.
I am asking that you please email the group once a week, hopefully more. I understand if you miss a week (Things especially tend to slow down towards the end of the group. I am so guilty of doing this in the past!), but please don't be discouraged that you have slacked for whatever reason that you don't pick up the next week! We would all love to see everyone involved as much as possible! I know that we will all learn from each other and each of us will be a huge tool for God in learning His word! Since I am the leader, I have made it my own personal goal to do my SOAP's daily. I did miss a couple days last study, but made up for them the next day (or so). I would have probably used the website to save my SOAP journal's had I not shared daily. Just to have my journals saved somewhere. Some of the group preferred to hand write their journal entries, which is super awesome. I just don't have the time to do both!
The first week of the study is always the most exciting and you will likely see a lot of emails. Things will slow down as we get going. I'm so excited to learn from each of you! The Study starts tomorrow! If you have any friends that would like to join, please send me their email and I will add them to the Yahoo Group!
