I recently created a new binder for my Bible study notes and materials. I love the idea that my sister-in-law gave me this summer for laminating paper to use for dividers in binders instead of the traditional tabbed dividers. My Bible study materials were not very organized, so I went to work. I used pretty colored paper for my binder cover and dividers. I printed the name of each section on the paper before laminating. These are the sections I have:
Thankfulness: Each day I list 5 things I am thankful for. I have been doing this for 12 years, and I love to go back and read my entries. It serves as a journal.
Bible Study Notes: Each day I read a chapter from the Bible and record key verses, thoughts, personal applications, etc. If I am studying from a particular book for my Ladies' Bible Class or own my on, I would include my answers to questions from the book in this section also.
Prayers: I have a page for my husband and each child, myself, and then a page for ongoing prayer requests, and a page for short term prayer requests. I simply list on each page what I am currently praying for. I sometimes include Bible verses, especially on the pages for my family and me. I keep paper beside the computer to jot down prayer requests I receive online so I won't forget to list them on my prayer page.
Mom's Corners: I have many, many of these printed out. They are very inspirational. I like to reread one each day.
General Bible Studies and Articles: These are various things I have printed out from emails or the internet. I like to reread and study these too. They are also encouraging.
Ladies' Bible Class Notes: These are my notes for our monthly ladies' Bible class at my church.
Marking Your Bibles: This is a new section. I have printed out instructions for underlining and outlining various Bible verses to use to teach someone else about God and His wonderful plan for salvation. I am just beginning to use this.
Hey Roan!
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading Created to Be His Help Meet and Feminine Appeal.
I was wondering if you had read Feminine Appeal?
I am enjoying them both and I am trying to decide which one I want to read more- but i need to choose! :)
The Bible Binder idea is wonderful! I am not nearly that organized, unfortunately with studies. I am currently studying the Book of Isaiah. Have a great weekend!

I have heard great things about Feminine Appeal too. That may be my next study.
ReplyDeleteRoan,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this with my Bible study materials. We are about to start a new ladies class, so this will motivate me to get my things organized.
