I am a WordGirl
WordGirls is a special sisterhood of writing support for women who write from a biblical worldview (whether for the faith market or general market). We propel writers to the next level—regardless of where they are today. Membership enrollment is offered in January and July. Besides our year-round services, we host online and in-person retreats.
When we say, “Well, live and learn!” we think of surprising outcomes.
You’ll relate to these essays if you’re tired of figuring out God’s guidance the hard way. Live & Learn features first-person stories about unexpected lessons from twenty-seven WordGirls. God uses big and small circumstances for monumental life-transforming moments. Even the insignificant can make a big impact when we pay attention.
The expression live and learn has been passed down through time to mean we often grasp life best by experience. Some of us catch on the hard way or take multiple times to comprehend and apply this sort of training.
Come discover the unexpected with us as you read along about:
✞ Childhood life schooling
✞ Hilarious ahas! with ha-has
✞ Embarrassment as a teacher
✞ Turning points in life
✞ Stranger-than-life teachers
✞ Tough-but-tender love
You will find these essays to be a balance of funny and serious, dialogue and narration, weighty and light.
“Our prayer is that Live & Learn will help you have your own studies in God’s classroom. Be on the lookout. It just might happen when you least expect it!”
–Kathy Carlton Willis, founder of WordGirls
When we hear the word snapshots . . . we think moments.
In this WordGirls collective, we researched what God’s Word says about the topics of hope and heart. Snapshots of Hope & Heart includes 84 devotions written by 34 WordGirls. The authors inserted stories, much like snapshots, to help us capture a true-to-life inspirational insight fitting for the daily Scripture. We hope the takeaways will stick with you throughout the day, similar to the memory of a snapshot long after you’ve tucked it away.
Enjoy taking a moment with God as you read this devotional. Take your own snapshots as you look through our album of hope and heart.
“Our prayer is that these words will deliver word pictures of hope and heart to save to your mind’s photo album. In that frame of reference, the Bible is the faith family album deserving to be passed down through the generations.”
–Kathy Carlton Willis, founder of WordGirls
Wit, Whimsy & Wisdom is here to be your guide. In each devotion look for a concept you can refer back to in your thoughts as you go about your day. The stories will give you some grins, some grace and some grit to help you through the struggles you face as well as help you celebrate moments of victory.
This three-month devotional is divided into five relevant sections. Feel free to read it straight through or choose what you need that day. Our sections feature:
✞ Worship & Prayer
✞ Humor
✞ Family
✞ Spiritual Growth
✞ Women’s Issues
Wit, Whimsy & Wisdom is the first WordGirls devotional, designed to use God’s Word and the words of WordGirls to help you fall in love even more with the Word made flesh—Jesus.
“Our desire is for you to find nuggets within these pages that make you think, inspire you to worship, and even give you a few laughs along the way.”
