I am a failure.  Everyone around me knows it, but it’s still a little embarrassing to admit it.

Good Morning Girls & The Dig for Kids (Luke Vol. 2)!

Join Good Morning Girls Bible Study & The Dig for Kids! ~www.thedigforkids.com

“I get excited to wake up each morning to read the Word!!! GMG has helped me to stay on a daily schedule, and develop a routine. I love the accountability and discussion between women in my group!”- Kerri

Believe me, I know it’s hard to be in God’s Word as a busy mom. Mornings greet us with to-do lists to be check off, messes to clean, errands to run and children to help mold……into God’s image. Yes, as moms, we are responsible for teaching our children about God. Not the youth pastors. Not the Sunday school teacher. Us. The parents. The moms.

As moms, we are called to be gardeners of our children’s souls…intentionally, lovingly planting God’s Word into their hearts.

But as gardeners of our own souls, we need to make sure we are watering our “gardens” with God’s rich, unchanging, life-giving Word too. How can we pass God’s Word onto our children if we ourselves are not in His Word? That’s where “Good Morning Girls” comes into play. We have simple 8 week online Bible studies, all designed with YOU in mind.

Why do we do this? Because we are all moms too, most of us with little ones still at home. We understand how hard it is as a mom to be in God’s Word on a daily basis……alone…..without any friends. Friends who will pray for you, encourage you…..cheer you on and cheer you up on those hard days. As women, we were not created to go through life alone but rather in community…with other Christian women. So I invite you today to learn a little more about GMG and extend an invitation to join us this spring as we study Luke chapters 9-16 TOGETHER.

Living Leading Like Jesus 3D CoverWhat is Good Morning Girls? (GMG)
If you have never heard of Good Morning Girls before here’s a little explanation. “Good Morning Girls” is a title for a group of women who use email, Facebook, Twitter, Skype or text messaging to keep each other accountable for their quiet times. For 3+ years, I have been a part of a group of girls who email each other each daily after we have our quiet time. We say “Good Morning” and then share what we read in our quiet time. Some of us have our quiet time first thing in the morning, while others squeeze it in during children’s naps or at bedtime. The time of day doesn’t matter…..our focus is just being in God’s Word daily!

Here’s ALL the information you need to pass on to your friends and invite them to join you for the 8 week study! There’s nothing like being in God’s Word as moms with your friends!

Who can join?
Single women, married women, women with kids, women without kids, high school or college girls….. basically ANY woman who wants to pursue walking with Jesus.

Why?
Our main goal is to be accountable to each other and to help each other maintain the discipline of reading God’s word daily as we apply what we are reading to our lives.

This is an 8 week commitment
The spring session runs from March 25th-May 17th.

What To Study?
The spring SOAP Bible reading plan of Luke 9-16 is optional.
You can choose as a group to read through a certain book of the Bible together, join a Bible study together such as a Beth Moore study or each do your own thing.

What we provide: {FREE}

  • Bible reading plan
  • Living Like Jesus: Luke 9-16 study guide for you to journal and record your S.O.A.P. quiet times
  • Weekly videos that provide further understanding and personal application
  • Weekly blog posts on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays to help you dig into the scripture of the week and gain better insight and application.
  • Challenges aimed at helping you put God’s Word into action in your life.
  • Weekly memory verses
  • Our materials translated into multiple languages

Spring Session Info:

Enrollment: March 15th-March 25th

Session dates: March 25th-May 17th

Web{For KIDS}
We LOVE helping moms get their kids into God’s Word and because of that, we have partnered with The Better Mom and The Dig, by offering The Dig Volume II at a special discounted rate for ALL moms participating in our upcoming study! The Dig, provides a fun and easy way for YOU to get into the book of Luke 9-16 with your kids this session! (Please note: The first 4 weeks will be in Vol I of The Dig and the last 4 weeks will be in Vol II of The Dig)

Now you and your children can learn the same chapters of Luke TOGETHER!

A typical Dig lesson consists of the following four components:

1. The Map: The Map tells you and your child where you’ll be going in each lesson. It is a short summary of the study ahead.

2. The Dig: The Dig is the main passage you will be studying. Following each passage will be several questions designed to help conversation and understanding. They are meant to be a guide. You can use them or tweak them to help you talk with your children.

3. The Treasure: The Treasure is the big idea of each lesson. In a short statement, it is what you want your child to remember from the passage you studied.

4. The Display: When an archaeologist finds a treasure, they will clean it up and put it on display for everyone to see. This is the basic idea of the Display. It is the application of the Treasure you have found!

Still not sure if you should join Good Morning Girls this spring? Here are a few quotes from women who participated in past GMG Bible studies!

“I think this study has brought a whole new level of mindfulness to my day. It has forced me to look at myself and evaluate my responsibility in strengthening relationships. It’s also helped me define goals for myself with the confidence that these are Biblical goals. It’s been a long time since I’ve studied the Bible with any consistency and I’m so grateful that I chose this one. Very positive!“- Ginny

“Thank you so much for this study. It’s made a difference in my life, which extends to my husband, children, grandchildren.”- Cheryl

“For the past 2 years, God has used GMG to draw me closer to Him than ever before. I’ve taken leaps of faith as I’ve learned He is always there waiting to catch and guide me. He’s granted me the courage to lead 3 GMG studies, and I love it. In doing so, I’ve become a prayer warrior, and I’m no longer fearful of being transparent. Praying for others and sharing my testimony are are two of the greatest ways in which I can share God’s love with others. God has given me the power and perseverance to overcome many trials, while resting in His peace for His perfect timing and plan – I’ve overcome depression and a 21 year battle with bulimia, and I’m full of joy and love life. I can’t achieve anything on my own. I need Him.”- Jen

“The GMG studies have been such a huge blessing to me and my daughters. My 17 and 16 year old daughters have done the last 3 studies with me and it has brought us closer. God has been able to draw us near to him while also drawing us closer as mother and daughters and them as sisters. We started out just doing the first one together, then for the second and third we invited friends to join us and it has just been a wonderful experience. God shows Himself through these studies.”- Betty

Blessings,

Parenting Your Children For Eternity

I have no idea whether my sons will grow up to be pastors, doctors, teachers, athletes, musicians, politicians or laborers.  But the one thing I do know with certainty as a Christian parent is that my children will stand before God some day.  With appropriate reverence, I understand that they will either stand before their Father in Heaven having believed in Jesus or not.  Eternity awaits every single one of our children – that I know.

Join me today at BoyDads.com as I share ways that you can parent your children for eternity.
