I've been putting this off long enough!!
I have been telling and telling myself that I need to memorize Scripture--just a verse a week. Not too hard, right?
Well, I apparently need some accountability in this because I have fallen short of my goal time and time again.
Scripture memorization is very important. This way when we need to call upon the Lord, when we are facing a temptation (just like Jesus in the desert with Satan), when we are speaking with someone about perhaps a problem, perhaps leading them to Jesus, God will bring these Scriptures back to our minds--instant recall--and we will have them right there in our minds--readily available.
So, I have decided that today is the day!! I'm going to memorize one verse a week--starting on a Monday. Then next Monday, I'll type that verse from memorization and move on to another verse.
Then comes the question: "How do I choose which verse to memorize?"
I have a Daily Bible Verse e-mailed to me every morning. Included with this is a "Weekly Memory Verse". So, I have decided to use this verse as my memory verse.
Here is this week's verse:

For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Psalm 30:5

weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Anyone want to join me in my quest??

Count me in sweetie, great plan. Where do you get your weekly memory verse? I love you.
Me too. And this is a great verse to start with.
Great verse!!!

Still struggling with daughter....I guess you could say this even with no contact.
Keep praying...
