I am so excited for this series, I’ve gotta tell you! This topic is something that has been on my heart for a very long time, and this series is one of the first ideas I had for Becoming You! Over the next few weeks we’re going to be talking about quiet time, personal bible study, time along with God, there are so many names! I have asked some awesome Godly women in my life to write about how they do their bible study to break some myths that I heard growing up. We want to show you that there isn’t one way to read the bible and do your study, everyone is different, and I am so excited for these women to share their stories.

Firstly, I want to address that there are many misconceptions about how bible study and spending time with God ‘should’ be done. I personally have seen all over social media that many people spend time with God first thing in the morning and this can definitely make it seem like that is the only way to do it. The other major misconceptions are that you have to follow a reading plan or devotional, that you should do it for a certain amount of time or that it actually has to be quiet. A friend of mine when talking about quiet time made a really good point, that we don’t always have to read the bible. Now don’t get me wrong reading the bible is very, very important and there is no substitute but sometimes we also need to sit quietly and just be still in God’s presence.

I really hope you learn something and are encouraged by these Godly women over the next few weeks.

We would love to hear your feedback over @becomingyouco on Instagram.
