Good Morning Girls Fall Kick-Off!!!

Do you wish you were more consistent in your daily walk with God?


Do you wish you had a few friends you could discuss deeper things with - like your quiet times with God?

How about starting a Good Morning Girls Group?

The “Good Morning Girls” is a title for a group of women who use email to keep each other accountable for their quiet times. For 2 years straight, I have been a part of 5 girls who email each other each weekday morning 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.


Our main goal is to be accountable to each other. This is not a mentorship, discipleship or bible study ministry. When our group started we had 11 women – within five months we were down to 5 women and those 5 have stuck now for 2 years. Over time, we have learned a lot about each other and have bonded. We discuss marriage, parenting, homemaking and more. We have fasted and prayed for each other in times of trouble, have kept each other accountable in specific areas of weakness and in the summer we always read a book together to discuss.


Our Good Morning Girls group (pictured here) is all similar in age and place in life (we are all stay-at-home moms) but we each have very unique personalities, gifts, children and husbands – so we always leave room for differences in preferences. This is important in creating a bond with the group. You do not have to all be similar in age but you do have to be willing to love each other unconditionally.


Would you like to start your own Good Morning Girls group? I’d like to help you along your way!!! Here’s what you can do. First pray and ask God to show you who to invite – then email 2-10 friends and invite them to join your “Good Morning Girls” Group.

Copy and paste this description of what the group is in the body of your email:
**********************************

A Good Morning Girls Group is a group of women who love Jesus and love their sisters in Christ. The main goal is to keep each other accountable in their daily quiet time with God.


Each morning Monday through Friday – after you have your quiet time you will email the group just to say – “I read xyz in my quiet time today.” The first person to email for the day begins the “thread”, then everyone else responds through out the day to say what they learned during their quiet time.


Joining this group is a 3 month commitment. At the end of three months you can reassess whether you’d like to continue the group or dissolve the group. There will be a chance to re-enroll in January.


Here’s a sample Good Morning Girls email:

Monday 6:35am– Good Morning Girls! I just had my quiet time in Proverbs 31 – it really motivated me to get busy cleaning today – so I’m off to clean - have a great day!

7:15am – (the next girl in the group replies)–– Good Morning! I just read in I Corinthians 13 about love – I am so convicted about the way I have been treating my husband lately. I’m going to start memorizing this passage.

1:15pm(the next girl in the group replies) – the kids are down for their naps and after seeing that you read in I Corinthians 13 today – I decided to read there too – oh it is so convicting - for me it’s with my mother-in-law – I’m really struggling to unconditionally love her. Say a prayer for me today if you think of it!

Final replier of the day 9:15pm – oh girls – I had a terrible day – I woke up late – the kids would not sleep during their naps and I’m just now getting to my quiet time with God. I’m so glad I have you guys or I’d be tempted to not meet with God at all. So I sat down and read in Psalm 62 and had a precious time with God – I really needed to hear those words. I’m praying for you all and your marriages and in-laws. Hang in there – talk to ya again tomorrow! Night Night!


And that’s how it goes!
