Good Morning Girls

I wanted to share with everyone a group that I am a part of this fall, Good Morning Girls. Good Morning Girls is a blog that focuses on inspiring and promoting quiet time with God. You create your own group and hold each other accountable for reading as well as being an encouragement and friend. Since I did not have a group of women already, I went to their message board and found a group looking for members. The group that I am apart of consists of Pastor and Missionary wives. We communicate daily through discussions on facebook about our daily Bible readings and studies we are involved in, as well as how they apply to our lives. This has been such a great blessing to me. Before this group, I was spending quiet time with God but had no women in similar situations whom I could discuss my thoughts with. This group gave me women from all over the world in similar situations as me, pastors wives and dealing with challenges in the ministry.
I am so thankful to have found this blog and been able to create connections with women all over the world. I hope that someday I may be able to meet some of my friends in person.

I have learned that quiet time with God does not have to be an hour long, or even a half hour, or consist of reading as much as you can. Quiet time with God is whatever you want it to be. For me, most days it includes reading a chapter in the Old Testament (currently Proverbs) and New Testament (currently Galatians). I then try to find a verse or verses that stuck out to me and write then down along with a few sentences on how they apply to my life. Some days I only read 1 or 2 verses and some days I don't read at all. My goal in all this is to have quiet time with God 5 days a week and be held accountable and have friends that I can go to with my thoughts. 

I pray that all of your would consider how you spend alone time with God everyday, and if you don't to maybe considering working it into your schedule. You will be amazed at how much just a few minutes in God's Word will do for you.
