Just one more thing ..... scripture memory #8

Okay, a quick word ....

I wouldn't let Eric take my computer this morning until I had signed in for the Scripture Memory Challenge. I am devoted, my friends and praying somehow God finds it necessary for me to attend the celebration in January. Seems a little frivilous when I think about the plane ticket and the hotel stay, but then I think about being in a church filled with many women who have committed God's word to memory all year and it makes me want to sell some things to go! Just imagine the strength in that room and the increasing love for the Father! Man, I'd love to be there.

I cannot tell you how much memorizing this scripture has strengthened my walk with the Lord. I'm just having the most fun doing it (and E loves it too .... she quizzes me and thinks it's so cool I'm learning the word like she is).

So, here's my 8th verse(s). It's long, but I couldn't bear to split it up ...

"Wherefore seeing we also are

compassed about with so great

a cloud of witnesses,

let us lay aside every weight,

and the sin which so easily beset us,

and let us run with patience

the race that is set before us,

Looking unto Jesus the author

and finisher of our faith; who for

the JOY that was set before him

endured the cross, depising the shame,

and is set down at the right hand of

the throne of God."

Hebrews 12:1-2

AMEN!!

Now, I'm officially on vacation ....
