0 Monthly Memory Verse: November

Happy 1st of November Everyone!

I started to think about what verse I wanted to memorize this month and the word prayer kept coming into my heart.  Lately, our small group has been talking a lot about how powerful prayer truly is.  We have been saying that prayer is what brings us closer to God and it deepens our relationship with Him.  But, it is also a way for us to listen to what he is telling us to do.   Prayer is a necessity in our pursuit of living our lives like Christ.  So, this month I wanted 2 Corinthians 13:8-9 to be my memory verse.

For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.  We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is for your perfection.

 

Now, I know we typically do two verses a month, but today I just wanted to focus on one.  I must admit that last month I got behind on my memorizing so right now I am choosing to just memorize this verse.  Have a great day!

Till next time, let your light shine!

Blessings, christen

Happy Fall Y'all!

Below are the two verses that we are going to memorize this month.  Enjoy!

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ

2 Monthly Memory Verse: September

Hey friends,

Below is this month's memory verse.  My church is memorizing this scripture and they showed a video of a little girl that had memorized it....so cute!  If she can do it, so can we!!!!  I think it is awesome that parents are teaching their children scripture at such a young age...it is being planted in their minds and hearts so they can remember it as they grow!  This month we are just doing this one scripture since it is longer. 

Happy Memorizing!

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; he makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.  He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and they staff, they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in  the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm 23

Till next time, let your light shine!

Blessings, christen

0 Scripture Memory Verse: August

 Memorizing scripture has always been a goal of mine.  Having verses on the tip of my tongue can help me in all situations of my daily life such as driving my car, talking to a friend, or even calming me down when frustrations occur.  I have tried lots of different methods, but my newest method that I think will work best is having an accountability partner to trade verses with each month.  So, I called on one of my dear friends and asked her if she would like to exchange a verse with me each month and we would try to memorize both verses before the month ends.  We figured memorizing two verses would be an attainable goal and we felt like we would actually accomplish this goal because we were being held accountable.  Below, I have the two verses that we chose (I picked the first verse and she did the second).  We would love to invite you to memorize these scriptures with us or you can pick your own - whatever works best for you!  I would encourage you to do this with a friend because it makes you stay on your toes and not push this to the back of your to-do list.  Write these verses down on note cards and place them all around your house (one friend of mine even puts it on her phone!!) so you are constantly looking at them throughout your day.
Happy memorizing!!!!!!
