Hey, Scripture Memory Mad-Women!
Look how many verses we have behind us!! Sister friend, if you’ve made it this far, YOU’VE GOT THIS THING IN THE BAG! (Or, in your darling little spiral, to be exact.) We are only two Scriptures away from you having the required amount posted for attending the SSMT celebration. By all means, make your goal all 24 but it’s a great feeling to know that you have ALL.IT.TAKES.TO.CE.LE.BRATE. I do dearly love a party. It won’t be the same if you don’t come so please (if it sounds fun to you) try your hardest. Think about asking for help toward expenses as a Christmas gift from some of your lavishly loving peeps.
Registration will be open until 2 weeks before the event so don’t stress about us running out of room. We only opened it this early so we could choose which space will fit us best at Houston’s First Baptist Church and so we can best prepare to serve you. Since we’re at about 850 registrations, we’ve outgrown the Fellowship Hall where we were last year and will meet in the sanctuary. We’ll make sure that we have the closest possible seating arrangements so no one feels isolated from the group. (There’s no reserved seating for it, of course, but we’ll do everything we can to make it as intimate as possible.) We are looking so forward to seeing your beautiful faces. It will be here before we know it! Click here to register: SSMT Registration

Dear friends,
Help!~how do you be an accountablity partner with a friend.
I am not sure how to do this and I don’t feel qualified or know exactly what to do? We were studying “When Godly People do Ungodly things” where it was mentioned and another girl wants to know if I will be her accountability friend. I am alittle unsure about all this, I don’t know how or what to say or how to act etc.
Please any ideas. I am just coming out of my shell and trying to make friends.
Love must be without hypocrisy. Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. Rom. 12:9 & 11.
