Welcome to the Psalm study: Trusting God for a Better Tomorrow. I am so glad you are here!
This year our study of God’s Word can be described as slow and deep. Slowing our pace allows the truths of the ancient words to go deep and take root in the marrow of our being. When God’s Word takes root, change takes place.
I need change, do you? For several months I have been on cruise in my relationship with Christ. This Psalm Study is exactly what I need to advance my relationship with Christ to a new level. I look forward to change in 2012.

Wendy,
So excited for Jan. 2nd to come and read the Psalms with a fresh and new outlook. Also, to be lead by you will also be a plus! Thank you so much for doing this.
Merry Christmas to All!
Many Blessings to All in 2012 as well!
I’m really looking forward to this study of Psalms.
Looking forward to starting the Psalms study. At the end of this year I will have completed 2 years of reading through the word. I feel the in depth study will help me have a deeper relationship with my Lord and Savior. Your teaching has helped me to grow in my Christian walk.
Christmas Blessings!
Great videos my sweet friend. You explained everything in so much detail. All the questions I had were answered. I loved your idea of getting a new One Year Bible to begin reading again with fresh eyes. I’ve read mine for 3 years now too.
The Psalm study sounds exciting. Just yesterday I purchased the EXACT same binder you demonstrated…complete with front clear pocket….by default. I needed 3 binders for Christmas gifts I am still in the process of making, but the binders were sold in pairs for the best deal. Smiling now thinking that God knew in advance I’d need a binder. Don’t you love how He is interested in every detail of our lives.
I felt months ago that the Lord was calling me to something different next year, and excited to think that your “different” for 2012 might be mine as well, keeping some things the same.
Love you my friend. Praying the Lord will deepen my love for Him as we continue to walk together.
Hugs,
Joy
I am looking forward to the Psalms Study.
Wendy……thank you sister for ALWAYS speaking to my heart. Looking forward to starting this next study with you!
Ladies….I’m excited to be doing this study with you. I’ve done one year of RTW and love Wendys down to earth teaching style. If this is your first study with her, you are in for a treat. See you gals next year!
This is my first year,and I am excited to get started!!
I am actually looking forward to Monday LOL
Looking forward to the Psalms!
Wendy, I am looking forward to this study of Psalms next year. This year in RTW, Psalms spoke to me and I enjoyed them more than ever before. So I feel God led you to do them to let people know them, just like you taught us (me) how wonderful and personal the Bible is.
I am sad about one thing, tho. We will only see you once a week. I’ve been spoiled by seeing you at the beginning of each day.
Love and hugs,
Susan from Atlanta
I bought my binder and an NIV Bible. Ready to go!
I am excited for this study! This will be my first year,and I look forward to a new sisterhood with believers
How exciting. I love the Psalms, but never studied them. So this should be an interesting study.
I was trying to decide what study I should do beginning with the New Year…THIS IS IT!!
I only know of ONE Mitzi. Is this the Mitzi in Summerton?
I am so excited about this study! The is my first time joining you and so looking forward to getting deep into His words as we share this experience.
I’m excited about this study and feel that it is truly an answer to prayer because my goal in 2012 is to go deeper in God’s word.
You said EXACTLY what I am Saying, You’re just ahead of me a few days! Haha huh?
God has answered a prayer as to what devotional I was going to study for the new year. I look forward to learning more and getting closer to God!
Taking a break from my church study on Wed nights and was looking for a way to continue to study and came accross your site! Love the Psalms – anxious to get started and studying God’s word with you.
This will be my first year studying with Wendy and hopefully not my last. I enjoy the P31 devotionals and they are a great way to spend time with God.
Looks like we are all ready….
Thought I had stumbled upon this, but after watching Wendy’s instructional videos and reading the posts from the ladies who will be participating in the study, I realized God was leading me the whole time. Will get my supplies ready. Excited for January 2, 2012 and learning more on ‘Trusting God for a Better Tomorrow’!
I hope all my future study partners have a Happy New Year and I look forward to getting to know you.
Wendy ~ I loved walking with you through the word in 2011 right up until the kids got out of school in June then things seemed to just… slip away. I had thought I would start again so popped over here to see I am in for something completely different! Well, off we go then!
I hope you and all the ladies are well and had a great second half of 2011 and i hope to make it all the way through with you in 2012!
Love and light to all
Tracey G
I started out twice with you in reading the Bible straight through BUT never made it to the finishline. So, when I saw this on my wall and thought this is perfect and this time I’ll finish.
~Tammy
I feel God has lead me to your site and have answered my prayers. I am looking forward to January 2, 2012, for when this study starts. I am also going to join in on the RTW study also this year. I know you stated you will be teaching the Palms, but I am also glad that you will be having the RTW also in 2012. Looking forward to the fellowship and need help with accountability, so if there is anyone that is interested please let me know.
Janice
Wendy, This year my best friend and I did RTW with you and have absolutely loved it. We lead the Women’s ministry in our church and have 10 ladies who have purchased the Chronological Bible and are going to read with us this year. Your example and encouragement has helped us to grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord and given us a love for God’s word that we never knew we could have. So excited to lead our women in reading God’s word this year.
How do I “sign up” for the Bible study??? please help
Krista
Go to the side bar and hit Subscribe to update-when you enter your email address you will get instuctions on what to do. If this study is anything like the Chronological Bible study (which I have no doubts) you will love having Wendy as your instructor and all the students adding comments to enrich the study. I know I am very excited and anxious for 2012.
Thank you so much I am very excited and ready to start today
I can’t wait to get started 2012 I want a deeper relationship with GOD!!
Hello Everyone,
I am so excited to be participating in the Psalm study with you all on January 2nd!!! I am also going to be participating in the reading through the word study with you. FYI – anyone needing to purchase a New International Bible or a One year Chronological Bible, Lifeway Christian Bookstores have them both on sale for $9.99 they are regularly $19.99.
Smiles,
Angie

Carol,

I am so looking forward to this study and digging deeper into the God’s Word. This is my first time doing an online study.
I am new to the study, and I am looking forward to beginning. Also will do RTW! Excited!
Looking forward to the Psalm study this upcoming year. God bless.
Yay! So excited for the Psalm Study! Looking forward to sharing God’s Word with others and the community that He builds through His Word. Can’t wait tilll Jan 2! His Peace with you always!
Hie. Looking forward to the bible study but my 4n is not youtube compatable so wont b able 2 watch video. Do u have an alternative
Really excited about this!! I have always wanted to go to the Psalms when days are difficult. I have a difficult year ahead. I am already overwhelmed and wanting to curl up and hide rather than get in the Word. This study is coming exactly when I need it! Just a reminder that God loves me and is taking care of me!
LA,
I know what you mean about having a difficult year ahead. I have had a very difficult end of this year and the beginning does not look any better. You are in my prayers. We are here for you also. If you need to just talk, let me know. GOD lead you here to us and to be able to glean from his word and lean on him this coming year.
God bless
Janice from California
I am so excited about this study. I am going to be doing both this year. So looking forward to them as this will be my first year.
I am so excited!! This is my first bible study. When I heard Wendy talk about her life in the first video I knew that I needed to do this bible study. Thank you!
Thank you,Thank you. If I could tell you what your study for the last 2 years has meant. no words to describe. cannot wait for the Psalms study and try to keep up with ONE YEAR CHRONOLOGICAL.
MAY GOD RICHEST BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU.
This is the first study for me. Any suggestios for me?
Angela, Just have a good time reading the Psalms and enjoying our wonderful Wendy. Also read the comments..The girls here are awesome. Welcome,
Susan in Atlanta
Hello!
I am so looking forward to this study…it is my first! After watching Wendy’s instructional videos, I knew this was the one for me – there were quite a few points that spoke to my heart. I am excited to grow in God’s Word and to have the opportunity to forge relationships with fellow believers!
Grace and peace,
Amy
videos keep freezing up
Has the email been sent yet containing the cover page? Just making sure I haven’t missed anything. I’m excited and ready to get started.
Still wanting on my designer to send me a pdf.
I hope An Email Announcing this pdf attached is sent when available.
This is my first online study – I’m so excited to get started!
Your name is very unique. How do you pronounce it?
I am so excited to start this study. As a new Christian I knew I needed to find a Bible Study for the year, but as a Graduate Student working towards my Ph.D. I knew it couldn’t add too much reading to my load. Thank you God for bringing this Bible study to me.
Amanda, such great news to have you as a sister in Christ. I understand the work load of your graduate work and the reading that comes along with it. I have often said that pharmacy school cured me of ever wanting to read again! I’m new to this study as well, and was scanning comments. So thankful to read that you are a new Christian desiring to study God’s Word. I tell my kids that the Bible isn’t like any other book. It’s “magic.” It accomplishes what it sets out to do. It is living, breathing, potent. Even when you don’t think it is. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
So excited.
Looking forward to the study. So excited…Thank you for sharing the study with us..
This will be my first study through your website. I am looking forward to it and really looking forward to the chronological bible study. Thank you for doing this and will see you on the 2nd of January, 2012.
Looking forward to this study! It is definitely a God thing!
I’ll be joining you. I’ve always wanted to do a study on the Psalms!
I am going to be joining you guys as well! I am trying to get together a small group for kind of an email accountability group. If you are interested, shoot me an email! Right now it is me and another lady…we would love to have a couple others join us!! Our thought is that we shoot one email a week (or so) to the group talking about what we are learning and how we are growing. We also want to share any difficulties we are facing and prayer requests. Both of us are excited about this because we do not spend daily time in the Word and we know how that needs to change.
I hope we can find a couple more people!

Wendy…and other Sisters in Christ…
I am excited to be doing an in depth study of the Psalms. Psalms is a place I turned to at a time I could not feel God’s presence…and I found Him in His word of the Psalms! AMEN!
This will be my first time, im very excited….
Hey! Did I miss where to sign up for the Psalm Study??
Susan Roberts
This sounds great!
My first study with Wendy but I LOVE the book of Psalms! Can’t wait!
Wendy, I heard about this study from a friend. So happy to be joining you and I feel so welcomed! I loved your intro video and how personable you are. I’ve been looking for a Bible study to sink myself in, and I’m thrilled that this is it. God raises up teachers of the Word and so there has to be students. That has comforted me as I have failed to do a good job teaching myself! Ha!
Looking forward to Monday.
Can’t wait to start this study!! Got my pages printed, in my notebook. So looking forward to delving into a book that has given me so much comfort through the years. Praying God will give me a new hunger for His Word and a sweet time with Him. Also can’t wait to see what you sweet sisters have to say, this is so fun!! Come on the 2nd!!!
This is exactly what I have been working for!!!! Looking forward to 2012!!!!!
Hi everyone, I am very excited to begin this study. Can anyone direct me to where the printables are located? I am not seeing them. Thank you and Happy New Year
Look up just a ways on this page and it will say printables. Put your cursor over them and click, they will open and you can print. Happy New Year to you also.
Am I overlooking it?
I don’t see where it says printables.
Maybe it doesn’t show up on my browser?
Thank you and Happy New Year!
I got the email. Looking forward to the study.
Got it! Happy New Year!
Oh Wendy I am so excited. The verse you chose for the year was one God has brought before me a couple of times already in the past weeks. I know God has whispered to my heart to be here. I have to still get my notebook but I will have it before Monday. Looking forward to my first study with you and all you sweet gals.
I am so excited to begin this new journey. I yearn for a closer more intimate walk with God and I believe this is the best starting point!
got the email ~ looking forward to Psalms ~ change is good
“I got it”……. Looking forward to the Psalms Study!!!!! Thank you
I got it! Looking forward to this Psalms Study! Hoping perhaps others on FB will sign up. Praying for you, Wendy, as you serve the Lord through teaching the Psalms.
Hi Wendy!
Just a quick note letting you know I received the e-mails. Thanks!
I’m looking forward to this study.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh wow, you have the same bible I do- The Living Bible – I was thinking we were going to use that, But the NIV is cool as well. Can’t wait to start the study.
That didn’t sound right, I cant wait to dig deeper into the psalms and learn all I can. I enjoy reading the NIV as well. I have different versions and love them all. See you on the 2nd.
I got the email and I’m looking forward to my first year of study and learning Psalms along with growing in the word. Thank you for imparting your ministry into my life. Have a Blessed & Prosperous New Year!!

I got the e-mail. And I’m looking forward to the studying of Psalms. See you in January 2,2012.

Sounds like a wonderful addition to my daily devotionals. I love the Psalms and am looking so forward to this study, my first one and I know God will richly bless us all
Truly excited to start this journey in the Psalms!
God is already speaking to me about this study. Looking forward to begin the journey. Praying for an open mind for God to fill and changed lives for all of us studying this together this year. Thank you Wendy.
Where is the pdf file to print?
April, look above. Under her printed directions there is a hyper link (highlighted I think). Good wishes!
I got It & I’m So excited about this study and feel that it is truly an answer to prayer because my goal in 2012 is to go deeper in God’s word. Its Gonna Be A Great Year!
Joining in!! Sounds like a great study to add to my 2012 journal of “losing control for what God wants me to do”!!!
Living Outloud~Pamela
LOVE TO JOIN!!!!!! Thank you so much for making it free to do many are suffering,,,,,Gods Peace :O)
Thank you, refreshing, someone sharing Gods word through a study free on line, Not everyone can afford buying materials needed for classes.
I woke up to the verse Psalm 119:11 this morning, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” What an awesome verse to start the new year with! Thank you Wendy I look forward to seeing what my sweet Lord reveals to me.
Looking forward to the Psalm study with all of you!
I cant get them either, I followed the emailed to me link I tried to click on the link you all posted and Looked under -> onlne study -> psalm study -> Study questions. I dont know what else to do?
When i Look at Recent posts, -> Psalm study questions it brings me to a page thats the header says Psalm Study Questions
says something about wendys email then inder it says
Todays study question then BLANK
What can i do?
I haven’t received any communication since the 1st welcome message. I also can not access anything sent to me from the email. I really would like to take part in the study but am at a loss… please help! Thank you!
Traci, can you e-mail Wendy directly for help? She may not see this post for a bit. Otherwise, you can try to go to the top of this page and click on online studies and hover over Psalms. The side bar will jut out that says study questions. Myabe that will help. I got my questions today via e-mail. Did you sign up for e-mail from the side bar along the right where it says mailing address? Best wishes!! She is worth it. HE is worth it. Keep trying.
thanks you for your study of the psalms. i really enjoyed your teaching on psalm 1 this week. it it a great psalm that i you get a alot out of. i am still reflecting on psalm one. it really makes you consider your relationships, and wether they are good ones that glorify god or not. thanks for your teaching this week and i look forwar to hearing more on the studies of psalms as we go, i am also trying to participate in the read thru the word for 2012, as it is seems to be benefical way to read scripture, i did read thru the bible in 2011 but i would love to get more out of what i read and decided i would try to do the 2012 RTW this year as well.
Just got the e-mail with the link to today’s Psalm Study questions. However, when I click on the link it takes me to a page that says “This address is not valid.” The website that shows at the top of my screen (just before “address not found” appears) says madmimi.com. I didn’t have any problems on Tuesday.
Oh – how much did I love reading other versions of this beautiful Psalm!! Some were certainly more challenging than others. I would have to say my favorite (and I read them all out loud and you are SO RIGHT – it just instills so much more passion for me when I read these beautiful words out loud!!). My favorite version was the Amplified BIble – it seemed to be just that. The Words of God seemed to jump out for me as I read them – of course having been reading this Psalm all week my excitement in it has grown as well!! Thank you for taking us on this journey dear Wendy!! So far it has been a fun ride!
In Christ’s Love
Val
Hi to all
This weeks questions really opened my eyes. My moment of truth hit when I realized something really will always be conspiring against my peace etc. whvether it is a particular person, a situation, or the enemy himself, I need to be readied for battle! When I got hurt in the accident 2 years ago, I was no threat to anyone when I could hardly walk!! That got worked out to where I could function; then the financial hit; still not resolved, but I called about 2 equally distressing situations yesterday instead of my usual avoidance and my landlord is going to try to work things out. Awesome Awesome. So I , am rejoicing in that when boom the police are at the door because my 2 grandsons ran away; they are still missing at this point… But you know what…. like the song says My foes are many but help is on the way. Always…. My God will not fail.. Please continue to pray for a fence of protection around us; I am not being emotionally attacked. My girlfriends husband just passed away; my 103 yr old client who I have had for almost 8 years is failing and all I do is cry. But it is another ploy, I can be strong in the Lord. Sorry for so long Cindy
See. I meant to say “now” being and it showed up not!! Peace in Christ Cindy
I’m joining a little late (but promise to catch up!) I have been looking for a Bible study to do that would be in depth, but something I thought I would like. I love the Psalms and I am very excited to study them with you!
I hope I can still join in even though I am starting late. I have read up to date and am waiting for the study questions.
I can trust God and approach him with freedom and confidence, he works for my good. I just finished reading through the scripture and answering the study questions. My husband and son have both been sick this morning and I spoke with the schools front office about getting my sons school work together.
They were not very helpful and I was worried that he would fall behind in his schoolwork today. As I was about to type in my comments here the phone rang and it was his teacher, she did not receive the message from the front desk and she was calling to check in on him. She was very helpful and is gathering his work together right now. Thank you God! Wonderful timing! Everyone have a great day!
I am so excited to be able to join these women and you Wendy in both RTW and the Psalms.
God has reveal to me recently how much more I need to study His word. I wasn’t sure where to begin.
Thanks to the Jan Proverbs 31 magazine reading your article ,and by the way your picture is beautiful.I am feeling this is the studies for me . Thanks again Wendy for providing these teachings.
