My wife is a Bible Study on Monday nights for the women of our church. When she came home last night we began talking and she asked if I would be willing to typeset a couple pages out of "The Resolution for Women" book they had been going through so that the woman of the group could print them and be able to keep them at hand. Seeing it as a pretty easy task to handle I told her I would and in my free time, I type set it, added the verses that go with it, and laid it out for print.
While typing them out, I begin to think how powerful some of these statements could be and how I thought more people might like to have access to them as well. They can be life changing if taken to heart and really accepted for what they are. I know I was challenged and encouraged just reading them. So without further adieu, here they are.
(I know there are quite a lot so if you are interested in having the cleaner form that you can print, comment below and I will send them to you.)
