Hello Friends and Happy New Year! :)
I'm excited about this year's Scripture Memory Challenge and about how many of you have joined me from all over the world. A very warm welcome to you all - near and far! I pray focusing on two verses a month will truly impact our lives as we hide God's Word deep in our heart and let His Spirit work in us.
So, without further ado, it's time to sign in with your first verse of the challenge! You can still encourage others to join us - better late than never, right?
Remember to sign in with your first name, city/location, verse, reference and translation.
Let's do this!
ps. Some people are having trouble commenting from their phones... I tested it and it didn't work for me either. Trying to figure out why... until then, you may have to sign in from a computer. Sorry!
