I am officially closing this blog, at least for the time being. The Lord has got me doing some other things and its pretty exciting and I will most likely be writing about them in my witnessing blog page, since they have to do with witnessing. I have neglected that page but the time has come for me to become more faithful in my witnessing and giving and proclaiming the Gospel, Yippee! Fruit fruit!.
I haven't stopped memorizing and I don't think I could stop. I am addicted to the words of God. They are the only reason I am alive today They are Spirit and they are Life. I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Yea, doubtless I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ (Jn 6: 53-Gal 2:20 -Phil 3:8)
Attack, Attack! Lets kick the Devil in the head with the word of God and win some souls by the power of his Spirit.

Gods Candy Store.
Well, I have been kinda lazy in restarting my blog again but I am going to look at this as a spiritual journal of memorization ups and downs.
I am trying to tie up some lose ends before I get totally back into memorizing Mark. I am almost done with Galatians and 2 more chapters in 2Timothy and halfway thru Psalm 25 which I will proably do in small bursts.
My Goals for 2013 are: Memorize the book of Revelations, Mark and more Psalms. last week I memorized Revelations Chapter one. considering it took me 3 months just to do 5 chapters in Galatians and only one week to do a whole chapter in Revelations, I think memorizing Revelations is going to go faster.
Memorizing Mark will commence once again Lord willing.
The Bible is like a cornucopia of Delicious fruits and candy meats. You want to gobble everything down at once. I have to focus on a few things at a time, and not over extend myself and get discouraged because I can't memorize the Bible in one day.

Okay, after a long hiatus I am coming back to memorizing the book of mark. I must say that it has been a battle to review my verses constantly every day. Sometimes I can do a lot and other times it seems like someone else keeps yanking my brain around and I cannot review. I am going to let my brain rest for a day and see how it goes.
Progress report.
Book of James - Done
Book of Galatians - last chapter coming up
2 Timothy halfway through second chapter
Psalm 103 done
psalm 91 done
Psalm 25 in progress
Mat chapter 24 almost done
Mark has been neglected in my review except on an occasion and I am going to have to do a lot of redo, Boho!
Galatians has been a pain to memorize and its taken me 2 months so far and its driving me wild with frustration.
I am trusting God that I made the right decision memorizing this book, even though I said it would be the last book I would ever get too besides Romans. But lo and behold I am almost done, and truly, I am in love with this book.
I have been a bit discouraged in general and being discouraged can hijack your memory really fast and slow it down to a crawl or slower.
God bless you!

Slowly but surely
I have been neglecting my blogging lately, but I thought I would check in to at least remind myself that I am still going forward, albeit a bit slower than I want to.
Lets see here, okay I am still working on chapter 2 and should be finished in a few days and already chapter 3 is lined up and looking good. I did manage to memorize close to 30 verses in Luke 1, as well as re-memorize Ps 32, 24,46,42 and refresh Mat 5-7. Which needed to be reorganized in my mind, I know all the verses individually, but not as whole chapters anymore.
I decided I may as well just memorize all the Gospels and take inter-minted breaks to memorize other verses or chapters in between. At least that is my long term goal. Lord willing.
I need to pick up the pace though.

Going Forward
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!
