Thank you Cat; I really needed to hear what you had to say. I have spent too much time trying to decide which book/devotional, etc., to start with, and haven’t even spent time in the Bible yet. I think my many year’s of Precept studies put me on a path for really learning a lot about the Bible, but not developing a habit of just reading the Bible and waiting on the Lord to lead me where He wants me to go. Not really developing a personal relationship with God, talking, praying to God has left me feeling lost, and like I have really missed something special. So, thank you for opening my heart, mind and soul. You are filled with the Holy Spirit, and He guides you when you do these video’s. I like that you say it from your heart because that is where the Spirit is. You are a perfect example to me of living like Christ; you wear Him on you sleeve for all to see. I 💜 you Sis, you are a real blessing to me.
Sis ... I just love you and your transparency ... THANK YOU so much for being there for us and for your guidance ... Thank You God for sending Cat Woods to us ... continue to lead her and guide her and protect her ❤️😘
Excellent video Cat! I often get bogged down in choosing a reading plan. Once I start a plan then I often see others doing something else & I think I should be doing that too so I start a new plan. It causes me to barely get any study done at all! I like what you said about Bible study being different for everyone & that it can be different every day. Thanks for this video! 💛
Sarah Scheenstra Ohhh yes 100% sis it can be different everyday... Because we are faced with different situations each day and the Lord will help us work through them all through the Word... Which takes me back to my video... Just have fun exploring all you can about the bible and his WORD! I'm so blessed you found it helpful sis... Really I am thank you xoxo💖
Wow, you’ve hit the nail on the head with me! I’ve drained Amazon over the last couple of months of devotionals, journaling bibles, study guides, prayer journals etc etc and I’m no further on than when I started. I think it’s all blown my mind a little and become so overwhelming that I’m in a mental mess about where to start! I feel like I’ve spent a ton of cash (that I really don’t have to spare) and it’s actually ended up *distracting* me from God and Our Lady! I have lots of art materials and hand lettering pens everywhere and yet have done practically *nothing* with them! The whole point of me starting this was I had a series of what I would call ‘signs’ from some higher plane, calling me back to the faith I was raised in and as I’d always felt bored silly just reading the bible in school and church, am feel like I can best express things through being visually creative (am completely new to arty stuff though), I thought I was doing the right thing will all these bibles and books and materials and all I’ve done is become broke and more confused than ever 🤦🏻♀️ (Edited for grammar)
Hey You are totally correct All of us are responsible and accountable for seeking It starts with us Start reading His word and as you diligently seek Him, the Holy Spirit will take over and lead each of us personally in teaching and instruction Each of us will have our own personal experience The more exposure/experience grows to a deeper personal relationship that edifies the whole body of Christ where there are many members
Very real. Great perspective. Thanks for sharing with us what is so true. Each time you sit down to study pray and ask God to show you and give you understanding. And He will show you and He will give you understanding. God bless.
Crafty Aims Workshop Awe Really!! Sis I was so afraid to make this video... But I knew all fear came from the DEVIL and I knew I must continue as I felt led... Totally not the video planned but this video came from the LORD✨thank you so much for watching and your beautiful comment📖🌈💖
I've worn out and torn 3 Bibles already, but glued and taped them back together. Sometimes they are hard to replace. I had one that ripped in 6 months of use - not Smyth sewn, but one of my favorites anyway. Now I'm more careful to buy better Bibles so they last longer. I'm not that rough on them, either.
Karen Lynne Awe I hope this is a good thing sis! I wasn't telling to come off like I'm telling you all what you have to do... I was just feeling lead to share this. Each day I find myself growing more & more excited about bible and I'm only sharing what I know and what has helped me on my journey love✨ God bless you and thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel🌈📖😻
Every video I watch I exclaim with glee! THIS IS IT, but actually, THIS IS IT! I love your Bible, journaling, notes and most of all for sharing your creativity and reality in What you’re journaling and learning. Love this video so much! ❤️📚😘📒💕💐
Well said, Cat - that is what folks need to hear. It isn't about stickers, books, preachers, etc - It is about God's Word. He gave us His actual words in a Book that we should read, memorize, learn and cherish. The Bible - especially the KJV - will interpret itself and the Holy Spirit will give you understand.
I am a reborn Christian. I struggled to come back to God and I was stubborn. I fought with him, till He used SCRIPTURE to bring me back on my knees asking for his forgiveness. Jesus quoted scripture a lot in the Bible. It is the LIVING WORD OF GOD. The Bible has the answers. Apostle Paul didn't have self-help books! He listened to God and looked to the Scripture. Find a translation that allows you to come into a closer realationship with Him. God Bless!
Cat, I so have to agree with you. All those self help, how to do books are all fine BUT you still have to DIVE INTo the Word to the day you are called home. We especially in the west don't have time and seek for a quick fix. We are distracted from what matters. I have been really starting to go deep into the Word (returning to university fourty years later, studying for a degree in Divinity helps) but it's not easy and that's ok. We tend to shy away from intellectual learning and rely in my opinion only in the Holy Spirit to teach us, that's out of balance. Too many people are Sunday Christians. Thank you for speaking the truth my sister.
I REALLY do try to be a God Girl each day. I've so blessed to be a creative tool in our fathers art box🎨📝📚💖🌈 I love you so much my Angel Bee🐝 thank you for all your love & support
Amen Sis!!! We need to seek God and see what he has for us. I’ve been feeling so uninterested in reading the Bible.Cares and troubles of the world consuming me. I’ve always been drawn to journaling and so much my family has jokes for me! Finding your page something just clicked!! Especially the fact I saw a previous video and you are having a challenge to copy and write down the book of Ruth. You have helped me so much. I’m getting started in one of my many journals for the Sept challenge
Hi Cat, I love your sincerity and your authenticity in your videos. You keep is real and I feel inspired after your videos to be the woman God created me to be and not what others think I should be and not trying to be what society’s version of real is. Thank you for opening up your mind, heart, and home to the Bible study community!
Aww I'm so glad you watched sis. Best of all you too have recognized how Society is trying to mold us to what they feel we should be like... So many of allow themselves to follow what others are doing refuse to take a stand to listen to what God wants for them and their own lives. I believe I am here to break that mold. Even if I get hate for it. I know I'm on the right path than. And now sis you too will see the light and you too will shine for the Lord as he wants you too. I love you girl thank you for being here I hope you stuck around and I hear back from you. 😍
Excellent video... what it amounts to is each of us have to have our own intimate relationship with God, and you only get that with the Holy Spirit living inside you and by nurturing that everyday so that your mind is on Him and not things of the world that distract. it is a daily fight... His Word says fight the good fight of faith... as you know I am new to journaling and I am finding that my style is not like everyone else's... I try to connect with the decorations the way others do.. . but the scriptures make me think of something different so I just do what I feel led to do and so far it isn't fancy or as creative as some. But it is unique like me. Because each of us are uniquely and wonderfully made by Him. love your ministry... keep on keeping on. love you sis
Valerie Millikin I'm so very glad you said this sis! This is it. Just what I wanted to explain just because I share what I did on Ps.1:3 it does NOT mean it's going to be the same for you. For a few reasons like you said we are all made differently and that's prefect because that's just how God made us. And the other reason we need to seek God out for ourselves because we are all dealing with different things in our lives so one verse may hold a completely different meaning to different people. So short just like you said. We each have to put in the work & time to seek God out for ourselves with the Holy Spirit living inside of us the meaning to what the Lord wants us to know is right there for us to claim it for our own. I love you sis! Thank you for watching xoxo💕
This was SPOT ON for me Cat! I had actually watched this around the time when you first posted, I believe. But IN THIS SEASON, to watch it again, REALLY HELPED!!! I CAN'T THANK YOU, ENOUGH.
I'm so glad this helped sis. I was worried at first to upload it. I have this thing of doing things my own way as God leads me. Which is most of the time against what everyone else is doing. But now I can see that the Lord needs me to stand strong against the waves of what others are doing and show them the light of His word. ✏📖📚
Wow! I love your videos, I watched them over and over. My point being I keep skipping this one(I'm not sure why) but it is to rely the best one I have since. What a blessing!
Bless your heart... Some days the Holy spirit really presses on me to share a message I am so thankful now that I had the courage to stand up and make it. I greatly appreciate your kindness & support way more than you know.
So true! Thanks for sharing that Cat. At the end of the day it's just you and Him. It can seem daunting and it can seem scary, and it can feel lonely. it's all about connecting with God and building relationship with Him. we all have a separate intimate relationship a place inside ourselves that's private for God alone. when people want to replicate what you do or have you give them a play by play of what you do exactly they may not be understanding the personal relationship part. you can't walk their walk and they haven't walked yours. You are doing all you can to point them in the right way. Sometimes we see others as being so close to God and we want what they have but don't understand what they have been through to get there. I read about Apostle Paul's life and think I wish I had that closeness, but he went through beatings,stoning, imprisonment, abandonment,and so much more to get to that place.we have to ask ourselves What am I really willing to put in or go through to get there if asked? It is tough. But we have to Keep, seeking, Keep knocking, and keep looking to His word. Thanks Cat for shining and sharing.love you xoxo
Darcy Henderson Ohhh sis! This is it... exactly what I was trying to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for expressing this... I pray God sends all those who feel lost and alone in their bibles read this comment. Your so right we are all on our own walks & journey to seeking Him out. I feel every one gets so used to seeing what others are doing and somehow it gets lost in the mix that we really do work and worship the Lord before we share and inspire them. If this make sense the best bible study is the Word of God😍thank you for watching sis I'm so glad it all came out right. This was all from the Lord nothing to do with me. I love you to pieces sis💖 THANK you again so much for watching xoxo💕📖🌈☕✨
I have a lot of the same books and I notice I rather just read my bible and study it for myself and I use different translations and I luv your channel and sherre mcgenis channel that's how I found your channel
Aww she's my Angel... I love her to pieces xoxo💕 thank you sooo much for stopping over and checking out my channel I greatly appreciate it and I am so blessed & excited you enjoy my videos I do hope you stick around. 💞
Cat this came across my feed somehow and it nlew my mind away. I don't understand how I missed this video but anyways o just think God led me to this. Just wanted to let you know this is the realest most beautiful video I have seen in your TH-cam. Wow I don't know how I missed this video. I live how the Lord guided you on this one. Thanks for posting
Hello, hope all is well. Love how you decorated your bible very beautiful. You have inspired me to do the same and get more into the word of God. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, look forward to your next video. Be blessed always.
As always sis, you are so inspirational and right on point! I read not long ago that if we were to receive a letter addressed to us from the King of a country, would we read it and treasure it? How much more should we approach the Bible as the most important letter from our King and Lord God!
No no not at all. I always try to encourage you all to share my videos & channel with others. This is how the my channel can grow by more people learning about it
You are absolutely right! We can’t expect to be spoon fed. ❤️
Amen it feels amazing when you put in the work and than actually be able to see your transformation ✍👓🔍📖💜
