Memorizing Scripture last year blessed me more than anything I've done in my life. It helped me in situations where only God could help me find Peace. Those early morning hours spent trying to find that perfect Scripture were precious. A lot of times I changed my mind. I woke up this morning trying to recall all of those verses. When I couldn't think of them on the pages of Scripture I remembered my pictures. I am such a visual person.
I still haven't decided if I am going to Houston for the celebration the end of this month or not, because well ...I'm afraid of failing. I'm afraid that when the test comes to recite them in front of someone else I won't be able to remember any of them. Knowing myself, if I only remember some of them, it won't be good enough. I want to remember all 24 of them. I will be a total failure in my own skin. (Pause... I was just convicted as I was typing this) ---> ---> Okay, I guess I'll be honest...I'm afraid that when the real test comes (when I am forced to be even more desperate for Him) ---> I won't be able to remember His promises ---> and I won't trust Him. I will keep praying about all of this.
Anyway, long story short I have decided to keep on memorizing in 2010. If I'm going to confuse myself I might as well really confuse myself! I'm sure my choice for January 1st doesn't surprise you. I'm getting to the age where I need to be more conscious about what is going into my body!
I just want to be healthy.
Here's to Believing God for the impossible in 2010!
Love,

Good for you. I wanna do it again too. And, this time, I think I'm gonna do your picture idea. Good thinking!
Love ya!!!
First, I read your scripture but got distracted from the delicious looking plate of lasagna. Hmm. I could use more Scripture planted in my heart and certainly more discipline. Come to Houston. You earned it. Love, A

I want to memorize 24 more verses this year too! We can do it through Him...

Keep me accountable in 2010 to memorize! I did so well until the 4th month - and then... well, I stopped! My first verse is Ecc. 4:12
I'm going to look for you in Houston! I don't know them all...but I've given it my best try. God will bring them to mind when I need them most. Scripture is like that. It spills out from Him!
And Leah's blog (one of my twinkling star links) is continuing the Scripture Memory. I've chosen to memorize Revelation 22 for 2010 and my focus for the year is "Simply Jesus."
That's perfection!
