Every Friday morning, I get the girls up extra early to get to school by 7 am for Girlz 4 God. G4G was started by a local Rockwall couple as a girls bible study for those in 6th - 8th grade. I'm amazed that every week, we have around 40 girls that get up early to grow in God's word.
The G4G is theme is 'THRPPGEW" (pronounced thurp-g -yew), based on Philippians 4:8, 'Finally brothers, whatever is True, Honorable, Right, Pleasing to God, Pure, Good, Excellent and Worthy of praise, think on these things'.
In our series on purity, we discussed this week what it means to have 'pure speech'. We talked with the girls about how you cannot take back words - once they are out, the harm is done. We used a tube of toothpaste, squeezing the toothpaste out and challenging one of the girls to try and put the toothpaste back in. She had a funnel, spoon, knife, toothpick and several other 'tools'. but was unable to get the toothpaste back in the tube.
What a critical time for our girls - they are exposed to so many worldly things. It's so crucial to continue to set a firm foundation for them to draw from as they have more freedom to make their own decisions.
