Thinking Girls Bible Study

I'm excited to announce the first collection of Thinking Girls Bible Studies in my new book, JEWELS FROM THE JOURNEY .   I had no way of knowing when I started writing these studies back in 2017  that God would link them together with a common thread—our identity in Christ. These studies have been revisited and many of them revised. Even if you have read them previously, I hope you'll notice fresh insights. It's my desire that everyone know the joy and blessings of knowing who we are in Christ and Christ in us. I also encourage you to check out the first book published under the Thinking Girls Bible Study banner, A 21 DAY BIBLICAL GUIDE TO OVERCOMING ANXIETY . It's not just easy to feel anxious in today's world, it's almost a guarantee. Our Father has given us tools in Scripture to help us overcome our anxiety and experience the "peace that passes all understanding!" I hope this three-week guide is a useful resource to help embed Scripture in the rea...

I have a confession to make.  Lately I have been struggling with rest.  If I were to grade myself on my spiritual life presently, I would give myself an A for surrender.  The Lord has worked on me and taught me much about surrender.  I have lived long enough to know that I might as well surrender.

I've been in about a twenty year trial where I've experienced some of my worst nightmares.  I think now I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Looking back, I see all the work He has done in me through the trial and I see how necessary it was.  I see that the work was customized...it had to be the way He did it.  Isaiah...

This study is somewhat different than the previous ones. It’s a study of Bathsheba. Her story is important to us for many reasons. She is best known as the one with whom David committed adultery. But there is more to her story than that. We can learn from Bathsheba about repentance and then being useful and fruitful for the Kingdom. 2 Samuel 11:1-3: “It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem . Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, ‘Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?’” (Emphasis mine.) Problem number one: It’s the time of year when kings g...
