Scripture Memorization with the Siestas

At the time I signed up on the LPM blog to participate, I was in NC with my Mom and sisters. Since Mom was in her last days, I knew this would be difficult but I so wanted to start the new year off right and make this "Jesus Year"....I knew how much I would need Him, moment by moment...constantly. He came to take Mom home in the early morning of Sunday January 18, as her 3 daughters kept vigil. It was peaceful and beautiful and He showed Himself to us in so many ways.

Since then, grief has set in. I don't feel overcome by it...just distracted and unmotivated in some areas. Memorizing scripture has been one of those areas! I'm disappointed that this has happened. I knew I would need those scriptures to keep me tethered to him during this time but I've fallen off the scripture memorization train.

But I declare to you today: I just got back onboard! I'm going to kick some devil tail just like Miss Beth said to do! In Jesus' Name, of course!

So, if anybody out there happens to read this, prayers and encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

I'm going to memorize the same verse that Beth posted. It is great and is speaking loud and clear to me!

Psalm 118:5-7 (NIV)
In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and He answered me by setting me free. The LORD is will me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The LORD is with me; He is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.

Blessings,
Beth

Confessions of a Blog Lurker

Hi my name is Beth and I'm a blog lurker.

There, I admit it! Seriously, I love blogs! I've "met" some very interesting people by reading blogs. I've been encouraged and inspired as well.

So, having been inspired, I've decided to give it a try. I see this blog as a place to share what's on my mind and in my heart. Whether its the joys in life or the struggles.

I'm ready to stop lurking and be a part of something bigger than me! Another reason I'm choosing to blog is that I just love the "connectedness" of the Christian women whose blogs I've kept up with. It's something I think I'd like to be a part of.

Blessings,
Beth
