Our format for study

First of all, I have never led a book study before so please see me as more of a facilitator than an inspired leader. :) I think this is a beautiful group of women and I'm thrilled that we will be sharing our insights on this book.

Format:

Read two chapters a week.

Scripture Study: Personally I'm going to follow the S.O.A.P. method that the Good Morning Girls (GMG) do (GMG is a massive group of online ladies who did this book study already). It involves meditating on a scripture each day. Again I'm just going to pretty much repeat what the GMGs have done.

Monday: View Sally Clarkson's video (Please note that she's talking to the GMGs but I think we can still benefit from hearing what she has to say)

Thursday: Interact with us. Share questions, thoughts, insights by commenting on the week's post on this blog. It's fine to comment on any day but if you need to assign yourself a day to be sure it happens this could be it. PLEASE do comment. This is what is taking the place of us meeting in person. It need not be eloquint or deep but just let us know that you're following along with us. It is a huge motivator and encouragement. So post EVERY week.

Friday: I'll post links to what other homeschool mom(s) have written regarding the chapters that we've read for that week.

This is the SOAP plan:

1. S- Write out the scripture passage for the day.

2. O- Write down 1 or 2 observations from the passage.

3. A- Write down 1-2 applications from the passage.

4. P- Pray over what you learned from today’s passage.
