Coming this November – the 9th Annual “Making Your Home a Haven Challenge” is back! It’s a new year and it’s time for a new edition! Some of you may remember that last year – we mixed the Bible Study titled – Rest and Release – with the challenges. So this year, we are going to continue going deeper in our walk with the Lord, as we practice 4 Spiritual Disciplines. I will announce the weekly schedule once we complete our study through the book of Ruth. But for those who are returning and remember how this works – you […]
Read MoreReminder: The Understand Your Teen Summit Starts Today!
The Understand Your Teen Summit Starts Today! This is a free on-line event with an amazing line-up of speakers including Dr. Gary Chapman, Rick Warren, David Platt, and about 40 other speakers including ME!!! Every parent wants to feel like they have it all together and know exactly how to understand their kids, spark a meaningful conversation – or maybe they just want to grab their teen’s attention away from their devices for more than 5 minutes … However, life is busy, teen culture is constantly changing, and everything seems to be moving a million miles per hour. The […]

Next Thursday, September 20th, the “Understand Your Teen Summit” begins! This is a free on-line event with an amazing line-up of speakers including Dr. Gary Chapman, Rick Warren, David Platt, and about 40 other speakers including ME!!! AGH! How did I end up on that list?

Well, I have 2 teenagers (a 15 year old son and a 13 year old daughter) but I want to humbly admit that I don’t always know what I’m doing or how this will all turn out. I am not an expert, so I’m not […]

Read MoreWe Are Family
Through the sales of Good Morning Girls journals, Women Living Well Ministries has been able to donate to multiple global organizations. I am so excited to share with you about how my friend Holly has used some of the funds to minister to our sisters in Christ, in the Ukraine. These ladies are students, graduates and wives of pastors at the Kyiv Theological Seminary. Holly and I met in high school and she discipled me on a weekly basis, as we did a one on one Bible Study together, for 2 years. After high school, we attended the Moody Bible Institute […]

Here’s the 2018 GMG Bible Study Schedule: Winter Study: Romans Spring Study: 2 Samuel Summer Study – TBA Fall Study – TBA There will be 4 total Bible Studies this year.

I was leading 7-9 Bible studies a year before my break last spring and that pace was too fast for […]
Read MoreIntroducing the GMG Leader’s Manual and a Change at GMG
The year of 2017 was a year of change both in my personal life and this on-line ministry. One of the biggest changes at Good Morning Girls was the loss of Mandy Kelly, our GMG Leadership Coordinator. The Lord took her home to heaven suddenly in March of 2017. It was hard to move on without Mandy, while also grieving the other changes in my life. And so through the Lord’s prompting, I have decided to discontinue the GMG Leaders Facebook Group. I have also decided to run GMG on my own without a team. Our team has been […]
Read MoreIntroducing the New Winter 2018 Bible Study
Cue the Confetti! It’s time to announce the NEW Winter 2018 Bible Study. Drum roll please… It’s the…BOOK OF ROMANS! For those who have been following along with the “Blogging Through the Bible” Series, you may remember that last Christmas — this study was put on hold. So we are circling back because this is not a book of the Bible we can skip over. Romans is vital to the foundations of our faith! I can’t think of a better way to start out the new year than in the book of Romans! Some women shy away from this book because […]

Read MoreA Heart to Heart Chat: Up Close & Personal
Your response to the new Rest and Release Bible Study has been amazing!!! I cannot wait to begin this study with you. But first, I want to have a heart to heart chat with you. I do not want this study to be about my personal life. I want it to be about Jesus – drawing in deeper to Him, resting in Him and releasing whatever burdens you are carrying, to Him. So, I made a pre-video. It’s a bit more personal than the study will be because I want the Bible Study to apply to all of us, in […]
Read MoreIntroducing The New Fall Bible Study Titled: Rest and Release
It had been a month since I had slept through the night without waking too early and letting my mind race. Due to emotional stress, I had lost about 15 pounds in 30 days and I struggled each morning to put one foot in front of the other. The shock of my husband moving out and my world turning completely upside down, did not change the fact that I had a full calendar. I had children to homeschool, meals to cook, and holidays to make special for the kids. I also had an on-line Bible Study to lead, as we […]
