A little tweaking of the usual Friday recipe, because today and tomorrow I have the privilege of sharing some truths on biblical wisdom to a bunch of young ladies from Worcester who desire to pursue just that!
The theme for the weekend?
Girls Gone Wise
Inspired by Mary Kassian’s recent book ~ which I highly recommend.
More details here.
Some things we’ll be talking about…
What is a girl? Why are they special to God?
When did we become foolish?
As women, how is foolishness played out in our lives?
What is wisdom?
Why would we want to pursue wisdom?
What are the obstacles to wisdom?
What is the only path to true wisdom?
How can we apply wisdom to issues we face as women?
By grace steering far away from this:
“And behold, a woman comes to meet him, dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart. She is boisterous and rebellious, her feet do not remain at home…”
Proverbs 7: 10-11
and by faith walking in this:
“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue…she does not eat the bread of idleness….she fears the Lord.”
Proverbs 31: 25-30
I’d love it if you prayed for our time together this weekend ~ for the girls to experience the presence, love and grace of Christ ~ for teachable and soft hearts ~ for fun and fellowship ~ and for the worship of Jesus, the wisdom of God.
Oh ~ and pray for Robert, too, who finishes up our taxes today, takes one to baseball at 2:45, and another to guitar lessons at 3pm, and then heads back to the high school to watch Kory’s game at 4pm. Tomorrow has him hosting Young Life Bible study for 10th grade boys at 9am, taking Coop and Kayla to swim lessons at 9:30, Kayla to dance at 11:15, and coaching the boys baseball practice at 12:15pm. Then I suppose he’ll polish his sermon for Sunday and love me that much more when I arrive home tomorrow evening! (Only kidding ~ he regularly tries to ease the task load at home!)
Superdad to the rescue!
Two verses that I read this morning were about wisdom. "But the wisdom that comes from heaven if first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." James 3:17 The second I was just sharing with Adam's wife Julie "Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12 We'll be praying for you, Mel.

LOVE this topic of course! I just found this series on youtube done by a teenager. And she only talks about make-up. Millions view her reviews. Her own collection is worth thousands. I just wonder…..why? Why is this smart young lady investing in this? Wish I could be a fly on the wall for your discussions! 🙂
