Do you reckon...

[Mrs D]

that making conscious & prayerful effort to focus on memorizing Scripture has anything to do w/ the fact that this year I've memorized John 14:1-6, Hebrews 4:14-16 & 5:6-10 & John 1:1-just about 14 (need to polish up the last couple of verses)? :biglaugh:

My goal is to have memorized by July 1: All of the above & Jn. 3:5-21, 4:21-24, I Thess. 4:13-5:11, Eph. 1 & 3:13-21. I also hope to add Psalms 2, 19, 22 & 66 by the end of September.

Do you reckon that making conscious & prayerful effort to focus on organizing the "dreaded drawer" has anything to do with the fact that it is *finally* organized? Wooooohooooo! TGBTG!

I'm now ready to start the process, w/ God's help & guidance, of compiling. That is making full studies from the bits & pieces I've notes I've taken now & then & the other time. Your continued prayer support is muuuuuchly appreciated!

As for spending 3x a day focused on the Lord.... I'm still not getting 3x a day every day. :\ I'm making it to the appointments, but I'm not spending as much time or not giving myself wholly during the time as I should. This should be the easiest thing in the world to do. I feel bad about it, but am confident the Lord will train me into it. Thanks a mill, God.

You know, I really focused hard last year and I have a pretty good memory. But man, did I struggle with just getting one 27 verse Psalm memorized well enough to remember it for always. I still go over it so I don't lose it! :dunno: I am working on Psalms 34 and don't you know, verses from that Psalm keep popping up everywhere? Weird, huh? I want to get James 1 down too.

Glad you are making progress though. It's nice to see some headway. I, on the other hand, seem to be blocked on every hand. My goal was 2 weeks to organize my house, etc. to make it more efficient so I could get more writing done. It seems one thing after another has popped up, including a day when I was dizzy, nauseated and weak. :dunno: I'm not sure if it is my own paranoid procrastinationg coming into play here subconsciously or if Satan (meaning his little minions) are trying to block me. Seeing as I am easily discouraged in these areas, it wouldn't be that hard to make me quit! :\

Oops, I think I have overtaken your thread here, Mrs. D. Sorry about that. But I'll pray for you as you pray for me okay? :)
