I don't really know why, but last January I decided to memorize scripture. The goal was one a month. I'm sure I was inspired by the LPM blog. This was the first time since grade school I had attempted to memorize any of the Bible. I felt very led to do this and I asked the Lord to help me. He did, and I've been so blessed by this process. Each verse has been so relevant to exactly where I was at the time - full of joy, overwhelmed, in need of a promise, encouragement. God's word is alive!
