If there is one single event in my life that marks a moment of change for me, it was nearly 22 years ago.

I sat on my bed in my bedroom where I lived with my parents.

My dad walked in and gave me a piece of paper on which he had printed out the poem “The Weaving“.

I had canceled my wedding that was supposed to happen in four months and returned my ring.

I was crushed.

But more than than, I was broken. Instead of my engagement being exciting and filled with anticipation, it was suffocating and filled with anxiety.

The man I was engaged to verbally and mentally abused me daily.

As I read that poem carefully, I knew God had led me to this very moment because He wanted to do something very special and significant in my life.

The question was, would I let Him?

Restoration requires cooperation.

God isn’t going to just blow into our life like a hurricane and start rebuilding our lives in the way He’d planned.

He waits to be invited. And then He waits our our cooperation.

2 Peter 1:5 says, “For this reason make every effort….” and then he gives us a list of things we need to add to our lives.

It requires effort on our part.

I don’t believe it is an accident or coincidence that Good Morning Girls will be studying the books of Ezra and Nehemiah as we begin a new year.

What better study to start a new year with than a study about restoration and rebuilding?

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.
