We began by each girl getting their new bag, embroidered with their name! A huge thanks to my mom, Sandi, for making these for the girls! The girls were beyond thrilled with the bags and all of the goodies that went in them. Each girl also chose a pen, pencil, highlighter, journal and folder. After choosing their goodies, they got a healthy snack. We had baked chips, bananas, cherries, carrots and dip, cheese cubes and bottled water. We try to emphasize healthy snacking throughout the week.
We spoke about beauty and modesty today and Trish did an amazing job of telling the girls what the Bible has to say about each of these issues. Each girl got a brand new Bible and Bible cover. We dove right into the Bible, looking up many verses that Trish spoke about.
We taught 3 of the songs from the new 2007 cd, the first being our "theme song" for this year, "Daddy's Girl" by KJ52. We let the girls take home their new cd's today, instead of making them wait like we have in previous years. We want them to listen to it at home this week so they can learn the songs. We go over lyrics for all of the songs. If you want to see them, we have them on the God's Girls resource page!
We closed with some modesty clothing tests, which are always fun, and a candid discussion about "Bratz" and the image they portray to young girls. We always challenge a few of the girls who are huge Bratz fans with that part! We actually have a Bratz doll new in the box, dressed in horribly immodest clothing (as most of the dolls are) that we use as an example. We challenge the girls in many areas and it is awesome to see them step up and accept the challenge. 
Be in prayer for these girls as they continue to be challenged throughout the week! We meet again on Wednesday!

I think this is an absolutely wonderful program! I am honored to have been a sponsor in the past and hope to be involved again.
I pray the girls will be profoundly impacted this week!
