Child Training Bible - Week 1

Well, I must say, I was blown away by the kids this past week tabbing these Bibles!  They all were so involved and really opened up to what areas they knew they needed in their lives.  One little girl told me she would be spending a lot of time in the making excuses category!  So cute!  I loved how they were all listening so well to what each leader was telling them and then their little eyes would just light up and tell us that they couldn't wait to get this Bible home!  I am so happy that each family is going to be able to see the Bible come alive for their kids.  I have been using my CTB for about a year now, and I have loved the lessons that my children and I learn together as we thumb through God's word.  I wanted to share a testimony from a child who came this week and that very night picked up her CTB and was able to read God's word to help her get through something tough:

 

She has been very worried about going back to her summer
camp next week.  Last year when she was there a couple of boys thought it would be funny to call her a boys name and other silly stuff?!?! None of the tricks we tried worked and it was not a fun
time for her.  Last night I said is there a topic that would help you with the boys? She looked them over and picked anger.  She flipped to a verse, read it, and we worked out a way to apply it to her situation!  All this in the first 15 minutes we had it!

 

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"  Proverbs 15:1

 

How exciting!!  Take time this week to really try to figure this Bible out.  You may need to just do a few runs by yourself at first.  I know I have had to glance at the good ole impatience tab a time or two with my crew lately :)  Remember there are cards in the back that have questions and a prayer to help you.  Dive in this week and get your feet wet!
