SSMT, verse 2

Wow, I can't believe it's time for our second verse already! It's so funny...for days I was asking the Lord, "What verse do You want me to memorize?" over and over and over. Oh sure, there were plenty that I thought would be good, but none that just - you know - grabbed me.

Finally I decided on one, wrote it in my spiral, and then suddenly it seemed like verses were jumping out at me all over the place! I started jotting them down on sticky notes (I'm weird, I just can't put them in my spiral until it's time) and before I knew it little flourescent squares were stuck everywhere. Isn't that about how it goes? At least I shouldn't have trouble coming up with a verse for the new few months.

Anyway, since you're holding me accountable, here's my verse from the 1st, typed from memory:

"Lord, I have heard of Your fame, I stand in awe of Your deeds. Renew them in our day. In our time make them known. In wrath remember mercy." Hab. 3:2 (I have to abbreviate the reference because I did NOT memorize how to spell that book.)

I can't prove I typed it from memory, so you'll just have to trust me. And if you know me in real life, one thing you know about me is that I follow the rules. ;)

And, without further ado (adieu? no, that means goodbye. why do I keep using this word?), here is my new verse for the 15th:



Compassion? Check. Kindness? Uh.... Humility? Great. Gentleness, patience? Dangit. Looks like I've got a lot more work to do here than just memorizing.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22

Hang on, let me get another sticky note...
