December 15th Memory Verse

Here is the last memory verse for 2010!

Romans 5:5

And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Love you,
Nicole

Hello All. I am days behind here and will probably have these verses over the next month. I have had parts of these verses swimming around my head for awhile now and would like to fully learn them.

1 John 3: 19 - 20

This then is how we know we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything.

Leanne, how far are you in the Ephesians passage?

Scripture Memory November 1

I have chosen to memorize Psalm 130:5 (NIV)

I wait for the LORD,
my soul waits,
and in His Word I put my hope.

I need this reminder in my life - to wait. There are so many places where we are waiting and we want to be faithful in this time and not run ahead. We don't want to miss anything by lack of perseverance and lack of trust.

Love you all,
Nicole

What a glorious day!

Late - Oct. 15th Scripture

Hi Guys.

Not sure if anyone is on board anymore??

I am still working on the Isaiah passage.

We are also learning Psalm 139:14 around here NIrV

How You made me is amazing and wonderful.
I praise You for that.
What You have done is wonderful.
I know that very well.

What are you all studying these days? I'd love to hear!

Our care group is going through the "Tangible Kingdom". It is a great study with small bits of homework and mission each day. I highly recommend it if you are interested in expanding the mission you do with any group you are committed too.

Our ladies are studying Jonah by Priscilla Shirer. Excellent study. Amazing little book. Completely moved by the intimate and powerful image of God displayed on those pages. It really contrasts the humanity of Jonah. I am Jonah in so many ways. Humbling.

Continuing with memory verses from Sept. 15

Sept. 15th

I am choosing a longer passage this time around and suspect that it may take me longer than two weeks to have it memorized. I have been reading a book called the "Tangible Kingdom" by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay and have been reading the books in the Bible by the apostle John. The theme that keeps coming up in all of them and the call I feel from it is to love others. Such a simple phrase to throw out but so hard to actually do. Knowing how finite my love is makes this an almost depressing task. I also want to be an overcomer through the power of God. I want His love to propel me to take the risk to love others - even when it is painful and though it will involve personal loss. God shows this is the way and I want to have courage enough to follow.

Isaiah 58: 6 - 8 NIV
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
