Have you been wanting to join a women’s Bible study but find you don’t have an extra day in the week to get out of the house; you don’t have money for a babysitter….
but you desperately long for that accountability to stay consistent in God’s Word?
There is an alternative.
What if I told you that you could attend a women’s Bible study in your pajamas, at a time that most conveniently fit your schedule, without having to find a babysitter?
Sounds too good to be true?
It’s not!
There are thousands of us women who daily meet online in private Facebook groups where we encourage each other in the Word of God and keep each other accountable to daily Bible reading and prayer.
The discussion is meaningful and the fellowship is wonderful!
Best of all, you can check in whenever is convenient for you – right from the comfort of your own couch…in your rattiest PJs, fluffy socks, and messy mom-bun….without any makeup!
I know, I just made all your dreams come true!
Study Hosea With Me
In our last Good Morning Girls’ study, we read the book of 2 Kings.
It may surprise you to know that Hosea was alive during the book of 2 Kings, as was Isaiah.
God spoke through both Hosea and Isaiah to send messages to the children of Israel, warning them of God’s impending judgement.
Hosea wrote to the Northern kingdom – Israel, and Isaiah wrote to the Southern kingdom – Judah.
In Hosea, we will see a side of God that is not often seen.
We will see God’s grief. We will hear His laments. We will read His words of sorrow and hurt over a people who have prostituted themselves to other gods, while at the same time offering sacrifices to Him.
God instructs Hosea to marry an unfaithful woman – a prostitute – as a living picture of what the children of Israel had done to God.
They would sacrifice to Him on His altars, and then they would take their abundance – given them by God – and sacrifice that abundance to other gods.
And God was jealous.
Very jealous.
But we also read about God’s plan of redemption and restoration; because God never leaves us without hope!

A Little More About Good Morning Girls and My Groups
Good Morning Girls is an online Bible study for women. Began by Courtney Joseph in her church, she took the Bible study to the Internet in 2009 and invited ladies all over America to join her in keeping each other accountable to their daily time with the Lord.
Little did she know that this Bible study would extend beyond the borders of America to literally every region of the world!!
In 2014 I joined Courtney, together with my dear friends Misty, Mandy and Bridget, in helping to lead Good Morning Girls. It has been an amazing journey as we’ve watched Good Morning Girls not only grow beyond what we could have dreamed or imagine, but we’ve had the amazing honor to see women’s lives changed by daily digging into God’s Word!
Good Morning Girls is a simple study – we simply read the Bible.
We believe that there is power in the Word of God and the Word of God alone can defeat the enemy. So we read one chapter a day 5 days a week. And we will continue this method until we’ve read through the entire Bible!!
All the materials are free and are available at Women Living Well!
In the summer of 2012 I opened the very first Good Morning Girls group in Croatia.
12 women, all members of my church.
I had no idea where it would lead. But by the following summer it exploded to cover the countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia.
If you’d like more information about Good Morning Girls Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, you can find our blog here, follow us on Facebook, or message me to join one of our 10 private Facebook study groups.
In 2017, my dear friend Mary and I opened up our first International study group in English. You can find us at Good Morning Girls in the Word
