{Cue the Confetti!!} Today we complete the book of Genesis! Genesis is a LONG book of the Bible – 50 chapters! So if you read it all with the GMGs – high five – way to go! Let’s take a look at this final chapter because Joseph makes a powerful statement to his brothers when he says in verse 20: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.” {if you are reading this in an email – join me here for this 3 minute video} Joseph’s brother’s feared he’d settle the score. Joseph had become one of […]
Read MoreHow Much of the Bible Do You Think We Should Read?
The ship has left the dock and the Good Morning Girls have embarked on a long, fruitful journey as we read through the Bible – cover to cover, one chapter at a time. We are about to complete the book of Genesis this Friday! Way to go GMGs! The Bible is a BIG book! This is no small endeavor but consider this: There are 66 books in the Bible. How many of them do you think God wants us to read? What a joy it is to have accountability here as we travel this journey together. If you did not join […]
Read MoreWhen You Can’t Hold Back Your Tears {Genesis 42-45}
Today I want to answer a really important question asked by a reader on Wednesday in the comment section. She asked, “When you forgive someone, does that mean you have to have a relationship with them?” We’re also going to cover this week’s Good Morning Girl’s reading. As we look at Joseph in Genesis 42-45, we see Joseph weeping privately from the pain his brothers caused him, then he washes his face and steps back into public view –with strength. If you’ve had to hold back tears in public that sometimes flow easily in private…then this video is for you: […]
Read MoreWhat is the Meaning of Your Name?
What is the meaning of your name? Were you named after someone special? I am going to share who I was named after – but first let’s turn to Genesis. The Good Morning Girls are reading chapters 41-45 this week and we are covering the life of Joseph. At the age of 17, Joseph was sold by his brothers to the Ishmaelite’s. From there he was sold once again to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. From there he was unjustly imprisoned and then at the age of thirty he was released. “Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service […]

Have you felt forgotten? Maybe you feel unappreciated or unnoticed by your husband or a child. Maybe you have a father or mother who has walked out on you. Or perhaps a friend has quit calling or caring. Maybe you have missed church a lot lately and no one has called to see if you are okay. Or maybe you have helped someone…more than once… and now you need them, and they are no where to be found. And maybe, just maybe, you wonder sometimes if God has forgotten about you too. It hurts.

Read MoreNovember Bible Reading Plan {11.2.14}
November has arrived!! I love the month of November! The cool crisp Ohio air and crackling leaves beneath my feet put a spring in my step. I also love our reading plan for this month. Genesis has taught me SO much. This month we finish Genesis and move into Psalms. Some of you asked why we are not starting at Psalm 1 (good question!). The reason is because we read Psalm 1 & 2 in September (see my post here). So we will begin at Psalm 3 on November 24th and then continue on in December in the book […]
Read MoreMore Love: Less Comparing {Genesis 29-31}
Have you experienced a mean girl in your life? Mean girls watch and compare. They are discontent, jealous of anything good that comes your way, insecure and keep score. Mean girls happen outside the church, inside the church, and even in the family. What we need in this world is more love and less comparing. Competition can sneak up on us when we least expect it. Maybe someone else’s Facebook status leads us to envious feelings or someone’s new decorating makes us insecure about our home. Maybe it’s the success of a sister or the failure of our own dreams […]

Read MoreDid I Marry the Wrong Person? {Genesis 24-25}
Do you ever have hard days in your marriage and wonder if you married the wrong person? Perhaps your spouse has failed to meet your expectations or completely changed into a person you do not recognize. Then what? Today, we are covering the reading from Genesis 24 & 25. We see a beautiful love story as God orchestrates the finding of Rebekah to marry Isaac. Abraham’s servant is sent to the city of Nahor. These are the words of the servant: “Let the young woman to who I shall say ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and […]
