Wild Thing - Ann

I'm excited about reading this book together as well!

Mary makes it easy to read and like how it is clear and right to the point. I also love that she brings the scriptures to life in this book!

I went to girlsgonewise.com and it has free chapter study questions that I found helped me get more out of my reading.

"Look carefully then how you walk, not as wild but as wise" Ephesians 5:15 I like this!

When I first think of the word "Wild" or a wild person, I think of it as exciting or a spontaneous person......after reading "wild thing" I defiantly don't think of wild as being that great. : )

I now think of a wild person as someone who is out of control, someone that does not listen to reason, someone who pushes God away.

I definitely want to be a Girl-Gone-Wise: a girl who's actions are based on doing what is good and wholesome for the glory of God! 

That quote that Emily mentioned: "Sin makes us stupid".... stuck out to me to! At first it made me laugh but then it was also comforting to think that yes we are all sinners, and yes we will make mistakes and get caught up in our own ways, but i is great to be reminded that we have a very loving merciful God who is always there for us!

The part where it talked about Proverbs 1:22 and the 3 types of wild people: Simple/Apathy, Fool/Resistance, and  the Scoffer/Rebellion. 

I can relate to all three in my own way in how I need to work on always wanting to learn more about God, reading my bible daily, always doing what is right no matter what and in how I sometimes I let God be in the back of my mind instead of the front, thinking that I have things handled, acting like I do not need God. Uh oh I guess I am kind of wild!

Oh it is better to be wise!

I can't wait to read and learn more!
