Putting on the Spirit...updated with winners...

If you are like me, you’ve seen the extreme importance of starting a day of parenting well by spending time in God’s Word. I absolutely must spend time with my Father, be reminded of His love for me, be encouraged by His plan of redemption, and be filled with His power and love in order to effectively go love my little ones and anyone else that the Lord puts in my path that day. Yet often, I’m crunched for time, I’ve got a sweet little boy snuggling in my bed wanting to be tickled, or I didn’t take the time to prepare for the school day the night before and now I’m running around trying to get everyone out the door on time.
 

That’s why I was thrilled to hear about this new Bible study called Putting on the Spirit, created especially for the busy mom who is pressed for time but desperately wants to spend regular time each morning in the Word of God. I love how it's not long but it goes into good depth, and helps readers dig deeply in their Bibles every day in a consistent but brief amount of time. This is a topical study of the fruit of the Spirit, taking apart each one listed, studying what the Scripture has to say on that "fruit", and applying what we’ve learned to our lives as mothers. I have done other studies on the fruit of the Spirit, but none so applicable to this phase of my life, giving me practical ways to implement it as the day parenting my children begins. The author, Katie Hornor, continually encourages the use of a notebook, and this helps emphasize important biblical truth and provide a way to remember and reflect on it for years to come.
 

And from December 11-13, this new study is on sale for just 99 cents to download on Kindle! You can go here to buy and download, or to give a gift to a friend who might be encouraged by this study. You will be so glad that you did!

But the fun news for today, is that I get the blessing of giving away three copies!!! Just leave a comment here sharing how you make time as a busy mom, to spend time with the Savior. I will be drawing three names after 9:00 pm EST, tomorrow (Friday) night.

Winners are... Faith, Jennifer, and Sabrina!  Don't forget to download this book while it's still 99 cents, through tonight only!

Locked in the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes it's just a few minutes before the knocking begins, but at least I get a little more privacy there.

Your posts are always encouraging, Christy. Thanks for your encouragement to spend time with the Lord daily. I get caught up in being a mom, wife, and teacher too

I find it helps me to just leave my bible open on the kitchen counter. Even if I only have 2 minutes at a time some days :)
