Chapter 1: Making Choices with Confidence
Smart Girls Think Twice About Consequences

What Do You Think?
1. Look back over your adult life and identify three of the most significant choices you have made.
2. What are some of the consequences of those choices in your life today?
3. Has someone else made important choices that have affected your life? What have been the consequences–good or bad?

What Has God Said?
1. Read Exodus 1:8–2:9. List the women you find in this passage.
2. List the choices and consequences for each one.
3. Were any of them in a position where they couldn’t make a choice? Why or why not?
4. What was God’s part in the consequences of their choices (both the stated and not stated)?
5. Read Romans 8:26–39. What do you discover in this passage that can give you confidence in making choices?
6. What do you think is the greatest fear you have about making a choice?
7. Is there a truth from this chapter’s lesson that you can make your own when you are faced with choices? If so, what is your truth?

Lord, Thank You that You are waiting to hold me up with Your great love and kindness, not to trip me up in my choices. Help me to trust You, to understand Your leading instead of doubting You. Remind me, Lord, to see that Your loving kindness endures forever.
