Anything?

Perseverance must finish its work

so that you may be mature and complete,

not lacking anything.


James 1:4 (NIV, 1984)

I am not a perseverer...I don't often finish any work...I am lacking....this year I hope to finish more Bible memory work and post it.
Thank you for your encouragement this year and your kind words they truly nourish my soul!
 
Today I say goodbye to my dad and head home...here's hoping I can finish that trip today and not get held up in horrible I-95 post holiday traffic!

Therefore

Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, 
and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.  
For the Lord is a God of justice; 
blessed are all those who wait for him.

Isaiah 30:18

August Scripture Memory taken from week 8 of A women's heart by Beth Moore

Fix our Eyes

Today is June 3, so I'm only a little late on posting my June verse!

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Jonathon, Stewart, Emmett, John-Thomas Elise and Olivia before they got in Salt Springs.

Jonathan, Joshua and Stewart were the first ones in.

Emmett is either checking out the spring or trying to catch a fish.

Yesterday we (me and my kids, Cathron, Dave and their kids) drove an hour and a half to Salt Springs.  I've never been there but Cathron and Dave took their kids 4 years ago.  Four years ago, Stephen would've been about the same age as John-Thomas.  "For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 

unveiled faces

2010, 1st and 15th Scripture Memory Verse #4

We, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3 : 18

A week and a half a go that verse was my verse for the day on my sidebar and I thought it was wonderful. I knew Moses had to shield his face from the Israelites because of the glory he reflected and I knew we will have unveiled faces when we finally get to heaven but this idea that right now we have unveiled faces has been rattling around in my head ever since.

Sheri asked in her post how the memorizing was going, well......
The last verse I tried to memorize I printed out several copies with the lines ending in different ways and put one by my sink where I had wash a family of 6's dishes every day all day long it seems...."not really" you might be saying because you know my wonderful husband does show his love for me by aiding in this chore. And I think I have taken one in the car with me but I did not write it out...I know this is part of how I learn and yet I didn't do it. I will definitely have to include this over the next couple of weeks.


Speaking of the "verse of the day" in my sidebar. Out of all of scripture this in the one verse that continually comes to my head...the one that I woke up with this morning. I probably should spend the next two and a half weeks memorizing where it comes from instead of the 2 Cor. verse.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
