Okay, I officially finished chapter one!
Unofficially its still a bit rusty, but I will have it polished up in a couple more days. I will be going on to chapter 2 tomorrow.
I;m not sure why it took me so long to finish it though, Arrg!
Except that if I could use a hammer to get some of these stubborn verses in I would try it,
Um mm, maybe not.
Okay nothing exciting to see here, move along.

Moving Right Along.
Okay, this is going to be a unexciting blog entry, but its all good to me as this is pretty much for my own reference and encouragement.
And its nice to have these reference points, so when you finally finish memorizing your book you can look back on them and praise God on how far you've come.
I am about to cement in my brain the first 30 verses of Mark today and I am super thankful, because I thought it was going to be hard, and it wasn't.
So I am only about 12 verses off from having chapter one completed!
Yay!
Thank you Jesus!
Just a reminder, that if you would prefer to memorize the Book of John you can follow and participate with Heidi on her Blog http://memorizingjohn.blogspot.com/

I'm Back!
After getting tripped off and getting absolutely nothing done on my memory work, I have decided that I am going to get back to my original inspiration, and that is Memorizing the book of Mark.
I'll be starting from scratch again but its all good, I started working on it yesterday and today I will sit down and dedicate a block of time to the first chapter.
How much time? I think I will start out at thirty minutes.
why?
If I make my initial goals to lofty and fail, then it just fuels the fires of discouargment.
There were times when I was memorizing John in front of the clock. ( not on purpose ) And that I could actually perceive the hands of the clock moving.
I was trying to get in as much memorization time as I could, before I had to start the task of the day. Sometimes 2 hours would fly by !
In other words, once you get the Memorization inspiration, your going to become aware of every idle moment and want to fill it with with either a new memory verse or a chance to review.
There will be times that the clock will tick too fast and you will be sorry that your memory time is over.
Sometimes I have literally went to sleep memorizing and would wake up in the night memorizing, sometimes it wasn't the same thing I was memorizing when I went to sleep. Lol ! I had no idea what it was.
Anyway.
Once you overcome the initial mind war of the flesh telling you "uh, uh I don't want to do this" you feel something kick in and you start going to town.
Its like they say, as with any new task, if you can just get started, you've won half the battle.
I wanted to let you all know, that if you missed your chance to Memorize the Book of John with me.
You can now Join up with Heidi and follow her blog at http://memorizingjohn.blogspot.com
Its going to be exciting!
If you have been putting it off, well, here is your chance to hop on board!
