Proverbs 3:5-6 is probably one of the most memorized Bible verses (somewhere behind John 3:16) and that may make it seem over-quoted and cliche but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a hand-holding, life-giving verse of gold. Of all of the verses in the Bible these are words that I want my sons to …
“Leviticus is my favorite book of the Bible.” Said no one ever. I know that “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,” (2 Timothy 3:16) but let’s be honest- we all have our favorite books and for most of us Leviticus just isn’t one of them. However, …
“Jesus had compassion on them…” In studying the book of Matthew with Good Morning Girls we’ve read that phrase more than a few times. Repetition is an effective literary device. It causes us to stand up and take notice of something. It demands that we see certain words more than others. Clearly God wants us to …
Recently I have been reading The Mitford Series by Jan Karon. I know what most of you are thinking- Aren’t those books a little old and perhaps geared toward a slightly older crowd? And I would have to agree with you based on the fact that when I got the first one from the library …
For the past two week’s Good Morning Girls Bible reading I was reading in Exodus chapters 31-40 and there’s a whole lot of meat in these verses but one thing struck me was the contrast between the beginning of Exodus and the end of Exodus. Exodus begins with the gloom of the Israelite enslavement and ends …
I’m reading along with Good Morning Girls in the book of Exodus and as I read through chapters 26-30 this week I couldn’t help but be struck by the details. God lays out some very specific instructions for the tabernacle and worship in these chapters. He didn’t just say “Go build a tent”. God was …
Good morning! With it being the month about love and all I thought I’d share with you all a little love themed print I recently made. It’s my favorite part of I Corinthians 13:8- You can click on the image above or download the printable here. I made it to fit into an 8X10 frame. …
In my Good Morning Girls readings this week I was most impressed by Exodus 6:9- “ Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.” So what was the this that Moses reported to them? -That God remembered his covenant and would take them out of …
Sometimes I get mad at God. Usually my anger takes the form of a complaint of “For once why can’t things be easy or go well for me?!?!” I remember thinking that about the birth of my firstborn. For a time I struggled with being angry that I wasn’t able to have a “normal” birth. …
When is the last time that something overwhelmed you? I’m going to guess that most of the experiences that you think of when you think of being overwhelmed were bad experiences. Stress. Bills. Chaos. Health problems. When was the last time that you were overwhelmed in a good way? That the goodness of something or …
I’m sure we have all been there… plotting how to get back at our brother or sister. Well, I guess if you’re an only child (or some sort of angel) you’ve never been there. But many of us have been there… in a place where we felt wronged or hurt and wanting more than anything …
I’m reading through Genesis right now as a part of the Good Morning Girls Reading Through the Bible plan. And this week one verse just popped out to me more than any other: But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept. …
