Ms. Team (Memorizing Scripture): First Post

Posted by Trudy

Okay Ms. Team here we go....

We are going to be a smaller team than what we started out with in January but don’t let that discourage you. Some of the group needed to step out because they are leading others in a variety of capacities - some are even leading others in memorizing Scripture so those are all good things.

Since I made this personal commitment for 12 months I am in it until December, Lord willing, and am very grateful to have some fellow sisters to cross this finish line with. Thank you, Thank you Thank you for hanging in there with me. We even have a few new faces joining in for these final six months so that will make it even better.

I want to tell you up front that memorizing God’s Word is not going to please our adversary so expect a fight. He would love for us to have nothing to do with God’s Word, much less memorize it so it can be constantly at work in our hearts and minds. If you started in January and have made it this far, you know what I’m talking about. You have likely fought off all kinds of discouragement, distractions, and the lure to throw in the towel and quit. I respect you so much that you have hung in there. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Lets link arms and decide that we will fight off the enemy on each others behalf as we encourage each other to keep running this race to the finish line.

Okay here’s some logistics.
　
This will be our first chance to post what we are memorizing on the blog. This may take a little trial and error but if for some reason the comment button at the end of this post will not let you comment then email me and I’ll see if I can help.

Here’s a recap of what we are doing:

1. You choose any verse you want to memorize and start working on it. (2 per month)
2. You post it here under the comment section on the 2^nd & 4^th Mondays of each month (for July that will be July 11^th and 25^th. I will open with a post specifically for the Ms. Team)

3. You continue to review your previous verses as you memorize new ones and at the end of our  6-month run we will get together and celebrate the 12 verses you have memorized. (If you are continuing on from the original team who started in January you will have 24 verses...wow!)

For any readers who didn’t hear about this previously but would like to join us feel free to jump in anytime. You are always welcome here no matter what your starting point is.
　
Are we ready?

Give us your verse, the reference, the version of the Bible it's from and your name.

Here’s mine:
