And…. drum roll…. VERSE 24!

Hello dear memorizing friends,

You have made it! You are here -- completing a full year's challenge! Congratulations!!!


While I didn't finish as strong as I would have liked, I'm so thankful for the help God gave me to memorize His Word this year… it truly has been a blessing and I know, without a doubt, that the effort you have put into hiding God's Word in your heart... writing it on your mind... implanting it in your thoughts... has not been wasted… nor has it gone unnoticed by our Lord. He has asked us to do this, and will continue to use what we have memorized to mould us, change us, comfort us, strengthen us and teach us.

Thank you for finishing out this year with me. I'm so thankful to have had your company!

What verse have you chosen to close out 2013?

God bless each of you…. and enjoy the Christmas season. Merry Christmas!

December 1 - Verse 23!

Happy December, friends! :)

As the busy month of December hits the ground running, let's take a moment to focus in on what truly matters this month. December is filled with lots of fun family activities, busy shopping days (ugh), filled schedules, and… lots of food. In our busyness, it's easy to lose sight that CHRISTMAS is a celebration of the coming of our Saviour. He is our Hope, our Peace, our Joy. The angels rejoiced so vibrantly at His birth… not because they were going to benefit from this spectacular event, but because God's rebellious creation was getting a Redeemer! Christ was bringing life and light… and HOPE. And we praise Him for His coming…! Let's remember the Gift He has offered us, and reach out and give back in His name to those around us.

So friends, as we close out 2013 with our last two verses…. what have you chosen for your second last one? You've done so well at sticking with this challenge… thank you. I pray you have been blessed by this practice in discipline. :)
