Scripture Memory Take 2

I successfully memorized the first scripture of the year and am on to round 2. Over the next 2 weeks I will be memorizing and meditating on this scripture;

"May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."
Psalm 19:14 (NLT)

I've posted it on Beth Moore's blog along with thousands of others who are memorizing scripture this year....why don't you join us?

Scripture Memory

The last few months of 2008 have been hard on my heart and soul. I know that God did not call me to a defeated life and that He doesn't want me to just roll over and give up. So today, I have my big girl panties on. I know that when I stay focused on God and my goals that life just seems to go much smoother....not perfect...but better.

I have a ton of goals for the coming year, but one in particular is scripture memory. I'm joining Siestas around the world and committing to memorize 24 verses this year. Very within reach. Mama Beth, as she is affectionately called, is leading the masses in this endeavor. Check it out.

My verse for the first part of January;

You made me suffer a lot,

but you will bring me back from this deep pit

and give me new life.

You will make me truly great

and take my sorrow away.

Psalm 71:20-21 (Contemporary English Version)

I've not used this version before, but I really liked the way it was worded in this passage. So,here's to a new year...I'll be sharing more goals throughout the month of January.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
