Over the years I have been able to shift my thinking and now I don’t believe this to be true—I think we all need to find what works best for us in every season of our life.

For me, some days I have really short study sessions while some days I have longer –and honestly, some days it doesn’t happen.

When my children were young, I was lucky to get in a few verses each night before I crashed into bed.

While listening to a podcast recently, I heard a tip I wish I had known when I was a young mother–Emily Belle Freeman shared how she always leave the scriptures open—as she would pass by them during the day, she would read a verse or two to think about and then continue doing her household responsibilities. Every time she passed her open book of scripture, she would read another verse or two to ponder.

What a brilliant idea! Where was this tip when my children were younger?

Now that my daughters are all in school, I find pockets of time throughout my day to “give place” and incorporate several of the ideas I will be sharing. And like I said earlier, some days are better than others.

My daughters all play soccer. I spend a lot of time in my car driving them to and from practices and games. Usually, their practices are 15-20 minutes away from home so it is easier for me to stay during their practice (by the time I would get home it would be time to turn around to pick them up again). Many times, I take my scriptures, a General Conference talk, or a book with me so I can read and study while they practice.

This is the season of my life right now but I encourage you to find what works best for you in your season of life. When can you “give place” for the word?

I will be sharing ways to study the scriptures that fit your personal learning styles.  I will share 9 ways to study the scriptures that incorporate each learning style. You will quickly notice that the Linguistic Learning Style is in everything–that is because the Linguistic learning style is reading and listening–the two ways we can learn from the scriptures.
