Isn't it great how most of these are application. Only 1 of the 6 parts are not application. the Knowledge to Note. I love that when I reading my Bible I'm looking for God to speak to me. I love this way of reading. I also added two more pages as shown below:

At the end of this page I add this. I keep track of people I encourage and what I did for them. This does two things. As a Pastor's wife it gives me a goal and keeps me on track. Then I can keep track of who I'm encouraging and how often.
This has been the best thing! Literally every day I read my Bible I expect God to speak to me and you know what? He does! Doing my Bible reading has been great, there has not a day gone by this year, that I've not heard from God and that's going through Exodus and now Leviticus!
Again, if you are not reading your Bible on a consistent basis, start with this! It will encourage your soul!

S.P.E.C.K.S......continued
Back to the SPECKS: For two years I accumulated verses and got more and more excited about the things I was learning about God. I felt like I was actually starting to develop a relationship with Him. I was starting to see Him answer prayers in specific ways. I was seeing trials come into my life and not freaking out about them. That Summer our washer died and my husband tried to go find a job to buy us a new one but no one was hiring a pastor who couldn't work on Sundays. Then he asked me to consider working at JC Penny as a photographer, just seasonal to get enough for a dryer. It was agreed that I would only work until after the holidays. I went in and once again God provided and I got hired on the spot! That Christmas Season I was working 40 hours a week. It was crazy, then I got the flu. The really bad H1N1. One morning I was headed into work and it being a seasonal job I knew I couldn't call off but I was sick. Sick as a dog. I cried, I had my husband pray with me. I went down and weakly pulled out my notebook and needing strength I opened it to the "My God is my Strength" page. I read about 4 verses down when I realized not only does God give us strength but He IS my strength and (no, I'm not charismatic) but I literally felt strength come into me. I went to work all day on that strength. I did that for 3 days. It was amazing and I became a believer in the Bible and what it can do for you! I began to tell people what God had done and tried to get them to see the greatness of My God!
