Just popping in here real quick. Life just does not slow down, does it! I have actually been looking forward to the school year this year so our family will stay put for a while and not be traveling--and maybe I can get something done! But oh yes--how we do tend to forget how very busy we are once homeschool has started up again! Ah well, it is always nice to at least THINK we are going to have more time at a future date, right? ;)
I wanted to invite all of you to join me in an upcoming memory challenge that I will be participating in. Now I know what you are thinking--how am I going to fit in Scripture memorization when I was just complaining about how busy we are? Good point! And I honestly have to confess that I am not alway successful when I set about memorizing Scripture. In fact, if I am remembering correctly, I believe that I have only succeeded two out of the last four Bible chapters that I have tried to memorize. But you know what? I have decided that two out of four Bible chapters memorized is FANTASTIC! And besides that, the time I spent meditating on God's Word, and the verses that I did manage to memorize from the chapters that I "failed" on are never wasted. They are never a failure. Every minute spent reading God's Word to me is a success!
That being said, this next memory challenge is small and doable--only six verses! I think I can do that! And I think YOU can do it too! We will be memorizing Isaiah chapter 12--I confess that Isaiah is my absolute favorite book in the entire Bible--SO many encouraging promises in there!!!
So spend some time thinking about it. Better yet, spend some time praying about it! And one of the most helpful things I have found in Bible memory success for ME is to join in with a memory group. Being part of a memory group is encouraging and helps keep you going when you are feeling like throwing in the towel. And with the wonders of the internet, if you don't have a Bible memory group near you (I don't!), you can still have the encouragement of one in an on-line community! :)
So go check out this link--and read all about it. And after you read about it, prepare to join us as we memorize Isaiah 12!
Why Should I Memorize Isaiah 12?
Have a beautiful week with your beautiful Savior!
