The Confessions of a Siesta

OKAY FOLKS!

I did not want to post about my memory verses today because I am really not doing well with them at all. In fact, the only one I know I know is my first memory verse. But I said I would post my progress on here because it will help me be accountable and I guess this is that part. So there you have it. I don't know my verse. I need to be more committed to working on it. My spiral index cards stay in my Bible study bag...and do me no good there. I don't get them out when I am studying Esther or anything else. I need a new plan. Suggestions?
I did pick a new verse for the next 15 days and have renewed my commitment to this challenge. Here are the verses that I am working on.

Psalm 16:11 (ESV)
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

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.

Isaiah 26:8 (NIV)
Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

Hosea 6:3 (NAS)
"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."

Psalm 86:11-13 (NIV)
11 Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. 12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. 13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.

SO, that's a lot. I have some bonus verses that I kind of know and want to get down pat. The first three are ones I need to know by March 1st to be caught up with the challenge. I am determined. I will hide His word in my heart so I can live in the delight it brings or wield it like a sword against the enemy.
