Scripture Memory

It won't shock anyone when I say I am a faithful "siesta" or reader of Beth Moore's blog. I love it! Beth has challenged the siestas to memorize Scripture with her this year and I am excited to do it. Sometimes you just need a push to do something that you know you should already be doing. So I am thankful for the push. The challenge is to memorize 2 verses a month...on the first and fifteenth of each month you log in with the Scripture that you want to memorize (we aren't all doing the same thing!). Today, I went on and wrote the passage I chose and had the chance to read all of the passages other seistas chose. I loved it. What a fabulous way to pour over Scripture! I even fell in love with a verse and chose it for the fifteenth. I am really already having fun with it. The whole point of doing it together is accountability. I am going to post my progress on this blog as well because it is much smaller and will account for more immediate accountability.

If you want to take the challenge, sign up here.
and then start here.

Since it is the 1st...I chose to start with the meaning of it all...

John 1:14
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

and here is the gem I found for the 15th...

Jeremiah 15:16 (NIrV)
"When I received your words, I ate them. They filled me with joy. My heart took delight in them. Lord God who rules over all, I belong to you."

I hope you join us!
