memory verse monday (week 10) + a giveaway

Are we seriously 10 weeks into 2013? 

Is it really March already? 

Is my child really turning 2 next month!!!

Goodness gracious time is flying friends...are you enjoying the flight?  This past week found K and I wiping our runny noses (his on his sleeve, yuck!), taking more medicine than we should ever have to take for a common cold, and hunkering down with Nemo, Boz, and the Wiggles.

Though we're still dealing with some after effects of our colds we are looking forward to a week of getting out of the house and enjoying this last bit of cool weather before Houston turns into a hot and humid place again. 

Here we are in the 10th week of Scripture Memory work.

Is there at least one of you who have benefited from memorizing Scripture this year? 

Anyone? Bueller?  Bueller? 

Please let me know...even if you only have printed one of the cards I'd love to know that at least someone is enjoying the challenge of Scripture memory as much as I am. 

You want to know a secret that I realized just today...it's kinda embarrasing.  I realized I can honestly repeat all of the memory verses, but I haven't been very good at also memorizing the passage name and number...like John 15:5...oops!

Will definitely begin working on that a bit more! 

So here's this week's memory verse...it's short and sweet and will hopefully allow me to go back to have a 10 week review session with my cards.

though it looks really large it's actually a 3x4...just right click, save, and print!  I'm working on a devotional to go along with this verse.  I hope to have it up on the blog later in the week. 

I also took a picture of my cards hanging on my office wall, right above my computer.  I print two copies each week; one for my office wall and one for my Project Life album.  I just ordered the Project Life Mini Album to have one place where I can put all of the cards which are now on my wall.  I think every 10 weeks or so I'll take them down and put them in the album. 

OK...now for the GIVEAWAY!!!! 

At the dotMom conference I picked up a couple of these Women's Devotional cd's.  I've listened to the first cd and found it to be very encouraging.  It includes 10 minute messages from women such as Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer and Kelly Minter. I want to give a cd and this fantastic 40 day devotional written by Jen Hatmaker to one person who leaves me a comment between today and next Monday.  I'll announce the winner next Monday on Memory Verse Monday. 

To be entered leave a comment here on my blog and tell me what your favorite Scripture is and if I don't know you personally how you found my blog.   Please feel free to share a link of my blog on your blog or facebook for another chance to win!  And for a third chance to win become a subscriber to my blog by typing your email address in the feedburner bar to the right of this post.  Those who already subscribe to my blog will be entered twice if they leave a comment on this post.

I just found your blog and I love it. I have downloaded a couple of your memory passages. I used to have a small 4x6 photo book with all my memory passages written in it. I just lost it and now I can start over. Thank you for the inspiration.

Am I too late to enter the drawing? Blessings to you!

I meant to leave a comment when you first posted, but lost track of time. Even if the giveaway's over, that's ok. I just wanted to tell you that I really love your blog. I found it probably a year or so ago and I honestly cannot remember from whom. It seems like it was something in the Project Life world where another blogger linked to you. I have enjoyed your style and taste and clear devotion to God. I am 32 years old and became a believer at age 28 right before I had my first child. My biggest struggle as a new Christian is knowing how to read the bible. Isn't that dumb? I don't know if a person is just supposed to pick it up and start reading any old place, or if following a plan is better. At any rate, I don't do it often enough and I'm thinking that as a mother to a 3 year old and one due in June that I desperately need Him to help me in this journey. So devotions might be the place I'll try next to give me some structure. Just wanted to leave you a note of encouragement that I really enjoy your blog! Kathy

Oh phooey, I meant to leave the scripture that I like: I really only know a lot of the main ones, but I have always found such comfort in Romans 8:31: What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
