{Sharing} Open Your Bible

I've got something exciting to share!

The She Reads Truth gals are actual published authors!!

Way exciting right?!

Raechel Myers and Amanda Bible Williams have partnered with LifeWay Women to publish Open Your Bible, a 7 session study on The Word.

Here's some more info:..........

"Open Your Bible is the first Bible study partnership with She Reads Truth and LifeWay Women. This means that we are taking the best of both worlds and melding them into a study that we think women will love.
The study is seven sessions long (meaning, if you do this in a group, you will meet seven times). It has six weeks of personal study (or "homework," but who likes that term?). Each week of the study will have you diving deep into Scripture to discover truths about God's Word from God's Word. This is a print-only study. It will not be on the She Reads Truth website."

I love that you can do this as a group or by yourself. I don't know about you but reading The Word consistently makes such a difference for me. This new study sounds like a Word Enricher (ha! spell check doesn't like that word!) and we can all use some of that!

And there's more exciting news....

....a Free Gift and Free Shipping!

All orders made by November 30 will receive a companion notebook and free shipping.

(That's a free notebook for every book ordered.)

Such a sweet deal!

Are you thinking Christmas gift yet? Cause my Secret Sister might be getting this!

I do believe this would make a great 'starting point resource' too!

Open Your Bible launches Monday November 2! You can preorder now and still partake in the free goodies!

2015 Scary Free Halloween Mantel

Well Halloween is almost here!! This year we ordered Lil' Hunkie's costume in plenty of time....last year he wanted to be Mickey Mouse and we waited too long to buy in a store and he had to settle being a shark....the cutest one I've ever seen! So this time I wanted to make sure he got what he wanted and just ordered it online! He's going as Paw Patrol's Marshall which in turn has had him request a Paw Patrol birthday pawty! ;) Gonna be fun!

Here's this year's scary free mantel...simple black and gold glitter! Cost:$0!! Yep I had all these things here and there....I had a canvas that I just swiped on 2 different glitter paints on....the chevron tray was one I had found on clearance at Hobby Lobby a while back that I've never done anything with...framed a piece of glitter scrapbook paper.....and the mirrors I bought on sale at Home Depot that I intend to add to my gallery wall someday. Never could decide on a banner so since the mantel will change briefly to a Happy Birthday one and then right to Thanksgiving I decided not to worry with it!

I'm loving gold and glitter and black and white right now!

We have Trunk or Treat at church and Fall Party at school next week....can't wait for the fun!

Happy Saturday lovelies!

Here's my September snaps....

HOW TO PLAY:

Simply take a photo inspired by the prompt, interpret the prompt how you like. Then share on Instagram with #VGphotoaweek. Please use new photos that you take. Please do not use anyone else's photo...this is about you and your pictures. Or you can create a image for the prompt, but it must be something you create. Post one or many photos per week!
