Our Memory Verse<\/h1>\n

\u00a0 Luke 6:45<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”<\/p>\n

WOW\u00a0Ladies!\u00a0\u00a0How many of you can relate to the picture above? \u00a0 Be honest, be really really honest……Well?\u00a0 No, you have to be really honest!\u00a0\u00a0Can you?\u00a0 \u00a0Okay, I’ll admit – I can.\u00a0\u00a0 But…..if you don’t agree, can you at least agree that\u00a0talking is one of the things women do best – We TALK. We love to talk!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We talk about everything and talk some more.\u00a0\u00a0 Many times we talk before we think.\u00a0 We talk when we should just be quiet – when we should pray.\u00a0 We like to talk.\u00a0 It’s in our blood!<\/p>\n

Have you been in situations where you have been listening to people talk and they are excited about being the first to tell someone something?\u00a0 They absolutely love being the person to share news or happenings – they enjoy being in the position of getting\u00a0noticed for what they are telling and talking about\u00a0– even if its negative.\u00a0\u00a0 This is certainly not wisdom and can be rather embarrassing for her and those around her.<\/p>\n

“Wisdom – knowing what to say and not saying it”\u00a0– This is the definition Priscilla shares with us in our book. How many times have we been in situations where\u00a0we said things when we should have just kept our mouth shut. Let’s face it ladies, for the majority of us, this happens quite often, or DID, before we met Jesus\u00a0and began to learn wisdom.<\/p>\n

With me, when I started building a relationship with Jesus Christ and started studying The Word, I too realized that I talk way too much (hold your laugh) and\u00a0unfortunately not all of it would bring glory to our Father.\u00a0\u00a0My husband was forever telling me I needed to ‘hush’; \u00a0I was talking too much, telling too much, and it would be better for all if I just stopped talking. Truth be told, he was right many times – Yes, I hate to admit it, but the Hubby was right.<\/p>\n

I love the way Priscilla writes about this subject.\u00a0 The following, shared by Priscilla in our chapter, really struck me personally.\u00a0 When you read these statements what were your thoughts?<\/p>\n
