Good Morning Girls in Akron, Ohio

Look at this beautiful group of "Good Morning Girls" from Akron, Ohio!!! (If you haven't been around my blog for a while, the definition of a "Good Morning Girls" group is: a group of girls who email each other every morning to say "Good Morning" - and report what they read during their quiet time in God's word. It's a tech accountability group.)

(Names left to right:)
Danielle, Liz, Tara, Christina, and Clare
We have 8 children (all under the age of 3) between us with one on the way!!

Here's what they said about their group:

"It is such a blessing to have a group of ladies to "meet" with each morning to discuss our quiet times and anything else we have going on in our lives! Some of us didn't know one another before starting the group, so it was a real step of faith to belong to such a close knit group. We're happy to say that everyone is getting alone nicely and having NO problems with opening up to each other!!


I should note that saying that we meet each "morning" is deceiving. We have one mom who works full-time outside the home and goes to work quite early...she does her quiet times when her son goes to bed. The rest of us do our quiet times between 6am and 4pm--depending on the day! We each have VERY little ones at home with us and sometimes it's just hard to fit it in early so we get them in when we can!! It is really great to know though, that if I haven't done my quiet times by noon or so, that I need to get on the ball and get them done knowing the girls are waiting my email!!

The girls have mentioned that having the good morning girls group is great for increasing our Godly friendship, providing accountability in our spiritual lives, and getting great mommy advice!! We are all in the same "stage" of life so it's refreshing to know that the person who just wrote you also had a sleepless night or a trying moment with their toddler.


We had our first "family" get-together a few weeks ago. It was wonderful meeting the husbands and children of our group. Amazingly the men in our group hit it off! God knew what he was doing when he put us 5 together!! Walking with the King while walking with others is the way to go!"

God is doing some great things through these groups - I have been so encouraged!!! These groups will continue until the middle of December and then there will be a break until the middle of January. For those of you who did not start a "Good Morning Girls" group but have had a little tug at your heart and are thinking about starting one, I'd encourage you to start praying now about who you would invite into your group. Then sign-up in the the New Year when I run sign-ups for the newsletter again! I can't wait to see what God is going to do next!!!

Walk with the King!
