Well..........? How did your past few weeks go? I have loved reading the verses you choose and have heard from several of you that you have enjoyed reading one anothers too! I have been so excited about my verse #2 in the midst of learning my first. Has it been that way for you too!? As I've read the word of God these past few weeks.....I've just grown even more to love His Word! Verses jump out at me...touch me in ways like never before. Just like it says in Hebrews 4:12 "For the Word of God is living and active...." I'd love to hear from you all if you are experiencing the Word of God in new fresh ways as well. So here we go for verse 2. I have a wonderful verse I'd love to memorize as a prayer for my girls! As I said before I LOVE how we can pray the scriptures! Here's my verse....
Ephesians 1:17-18
"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ the glorious Father may give (her) the spirit of wisdom and revelation so that (she) may know him better! I pray that the eyes of (her) heart would be enlightened in order that (she) may know the hope to which He has called (her)......"
Now it's your turn! I'll leave the first example under the comments....and you do the same! If we each learn a verse on the 1st and 15th of each month we will have learned 19 verses by the end of the year! Enjoy your next two weeks as you learn your verse and hide it in your heart!

Scripture verse #1
I have been so excited about our first verse together!
Imagine how your next two weeks will go with this memory verse always on your heart. When your mind begins to be filled with anything wrong ( worry, fret, negativity, etc.).....you can replace it with Gods Word as you rehearse your verse! I would suggest you write your memory verse on several 3x5 cards . Put one in your Bible, one where you find yourself the most throughout the day ( your desk, the kitchen etc.), and one in your car. ( I keep one in my car on the dashboard and actually this is where my best memorizing time comes!)
After watching the news coverage of the devastation in Japan last Friday, I stumbled across this verse.
" He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken." Psalm 62:6
What an awesome reminder that Our stability in life comes only from Him. While I can not get to the people of Japan, I sure can pray that this scripture becomes a reality in their lives. One of the beauties of scripture memory is praying it for others. " Lord I pray that the people affected by the devastation in Japan are drawn to you, and that they find their salvation in you, and trust in you to be their rock and their fortress and not be shaken."
I want you to know that I will be praying for you these next two weeks as you work to memorize your scripture. I am gonna be peeking at the blog throughout the next few days, eager to see the scripture verse you've chosen. We are gonna be so blessed!
So now it's your turn. I will post the first comment as an example of how you each can do it. Choose the verse you'd like to memorize , quote the verse and include the text where it came from and the version you have used. Then if you'd like to share briefly why you chose your verse that can follow your verse.
Ok Scripture Sister.....let The Word of God fill your hearts!!!! I love you guys and am praying!

Barby created a blog??????
Welcome ! I am so blessed to have such special friends! What a sweet God to have placed you in my life .( You are so dear to my heart.) This blog has been inspired by several people in my life. Beth Moore , (I am on a blog of hers that encourages scripture memory) as well as some fellow blogging friends who have motivated me to do this! ........... So what is the purpose of the blog? The main purpose of this blog is to encourage us in our daily walk with Christ, in memorizing scripture!
So.......here is how it will work ( this is how they do it on the Beth Moore blog):
1) Each of you visit the blog on the 1st and 15th of each month. In the "comment" section....you post your verse .
2) Reading the verses that other "sisters" have chosen will bless your heart and may even give you an idea for a verse!
I have always struggled with learning scripture....I know only part of it....or forget where to find it, or combine two together! I am sure you can relate! Now that I have been challenged to commit verses to memory my life is richer for it! I've been able to share the scripture with others, pray the scriptures for others and apply it to my own life and situations day to day. ( I have been memorizing on Beth's blog with women I have never met before, and now I get excited about doing it with some of my girlfriends!)
For now I will always post on the 1st and the 15th , sharing some thoughts and my verse I've chosen. This is the Lord's deal. I think it will be a wonderful reunion for our hearts twice a month as we encourage one another.
I'd love it if you leave a comment for me and let me know what you all think of this idea. love you guys! Barby
