Hey, Sweet Things! I’m a mighty long way from home in Fresno, California and looking so forward to getting into the Scriptures and into some passionate praise and worship with these West-side women. I love knowing that Priscilla is in Florida this weekend serving at her first simulcast and we are on the opposite side of the continent with our Living Proof Live. You wouldn’t waste a prayer on either one of us.
This will be a record setting post – my shortest ever! Wish so much I could tarry here and visit with you but, Sister Girl, my hands are FULL. Oh, how I pray you are sticking with your Scripture memory. Don’t give up! God will bring a harvest if we persevere and see it all the way through. I love my selection this go round. If you don’t know what you want to memorize for Verse 7, you are welcome to share mine. Here goes!

Esther 7:2-4 NIV
I once heard Beth Moore say how she was memorizing Bible verses by the alphabet, each verse starting with the corresponding letter, like A: as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15, B: by grace through faith we are saved it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man boast. Eph. 2:8-9 and so on, so I am on letter X and I had the hardest time finding a verse, that’s why I’m so late posting, but I was wondering what verse Beth used for her X memory verse?
I admire you for using the alphabet as how to start off your verse. I just finished a geography project, and my person was Xerxes. This was a godstop, because I got to learn about Xerxes, and then I see that you picked a verse in which Xerxes is talking. Keep up the good work Siesta Friend! 🙂
I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
