Hello!
How is it March already?? We're almost 25% into 2011....doesn't it seem like we were just saying "Happy New Year a few weeks ago?
It's time to post your next scripture memory verse, as well as share how you've been doing with the first four verses. I have my verses in a small spiral notebook, as well as in an app on my phone. I've found that if I see the reference and the first two words, I can usually say the entire verse. If I let a few days go by without reviewing my verses, though, I have to really concentrate to think about what the references were for each of the verses I've chosen so far. I think some of that is because they're from all different books of the Bible. So, this time, I'm choosing another verse from the same book I had been in previously, and we'll see if that makes it quicker for me to pull that reference out of my memory bank!
My most recent verse has been from Colossians 4:5-6 and has been reminding me "to be wise in the way I act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let my conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that I may know how to answer everyone." I'll admit that my main circle of friends and neighbors all attend church. This verse has caused me to think about the other people I interact with as I go throughout my day (at the store, the girl's musical practice, co-workers) and the attitude I have, along with the words I use. I'm trying to do better at building relationships instead of just completing a task.
What about you? What have you been learning?
Looking forward to seeing your verses and your thoughts! My new one is in the comments.
