This is a small group that was following the plan to read through the Bible one chapter at a time with Good Morning Girls. Good Morning Girls is on an indefinite break. But will we continue reading through the Bible.
Each Monday go to the Weekly Reading Plan or the Bible Study Thread for our current book to see the introductory post for the week and the weekly reading passages, discussion questions, and memory verse.
Be sure to come here each day to see what the members of the group are sharing. Try to participate in the discussion with a post at least once each week to share with us what God is teaching you. Posting on the forum helps motivate all of us to keep reading by seeing the others persevering and it provides additional insight and learning.
Each Friday we will attempt to share a Friday Devotional that addresses some of the topics we have read that week.
Please also take time to read the Group Overview post that provides some ideas on how to get the most out of your study here! You can find this post in the the "Bible Study" section of the board.

I have enjoyed reading the discussion here on the book of Esther today. I have read, but haven't taken the time to come here to write anything. The most important thing I think I took away from this whole book was stated above in God going through the difficult times and trials with us instead of taking us out of them. That's how we are shaped more into His likeness. It gives us compassion for others and understanding that we wouldn't otherwise have.
On another note - I have heard of the Festival of Purim, but never took the time to find out where it came from. I guess this was something I overlooked in reading Esther before. I think it's awesome that it's still celebrated today. A reminder of God's goodness to His people.

Let's see . . I am in my late 40's. Married 30 years this year. Have two grown daughters and two great sons-in-law. Just had another grandson two weeks ago, and moved to a new house after living in limbo since we sold our previous house last Christmas. I feel like I've lost my focus and need a group like this to be accountable to, to pray with, and learn from.
