Galatians

I'm super excited because I have completed Galatians Chapter two. It's in the memory bank now and I get to move on to Chapter 3. Chapter 3 is the hump for me. Every time I have set out to memorize all of Galatians I get stuck on Chapter 3 and give up... but not this time! This time I will achieve my goal because I have accountability and a friend to do this memorization challenge with!!

The last paragraph of Chapter 2 is my favorite:
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life I know live in the flesh I live through faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law then Christ died for no purpose."
Gal 2:20-21

If you have joined this challenge with me please let me know how you are doing!  :D

I love my son!!!

I have no idea where he got the idea for these moves, but he made me laugh... I hope he makes you laugh too!!

Monday Memorization

Sorry this is coming up late. Yesterday was a busy day, but a great day!! I started off with the usual Monday chores which is mainly cleaning up after a weekend of not wanting to do anything. So half way through the day we I decided to check my email and a friend from Okinawa messaged me saying to call because they were heading our way!! They were driving from Michigan to Texas to pick up their stuff from a storage unit. The hubby and I were thrilled. So I made dinner for them. BBQ Chicken and Macaroni and cheese... homemade. It was so wonderful to see them and fellowship with them. The conversations we had were such a blessing! So anyway... I didn't get to it.


I now have Galatians chapter one down really well! I don't think that it will leave the memory. I also got Galatians 2:1-6 and then after that it was rocky. I could tell you what it was about, but not verse by verse. So by next Monday I will have at least up to verse 14 done.

Tips on memorizing:

   1. Write your verse or verses out on index cards. Place them where you will see them a lot, ie: Bathroom mirror.

   2. Set a time goal. If you are memorizing a whole chapter then break it down. Set weekly deadlines for yourself. If you are a busy person then do one verse a week.

   3. Get a partner. Memorization is much easier when you have someone to do it with. It is just like training for a race. If you wake up in the morning and it is raining outside the only thing that is going to get you to run that day is that your running partner is standing out there waiting for you.


So if you have taken the challenge what verse or verses have you chosen to memorize?
