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

So I have a funny story about my verse this time. Normally, I know before the 1st & 15th what verse I will be working on next. I wasn’t sure this time….nothing jumped out at me in my Bible reading, so I thought maybe I would get a verse at Women of Faith, which I attended this weekend, again nothing. Then I thought maybe I would find one in my husband’s sermon today, again nothing jumped out at me (not because it wasn’t a great sermon, mind you). I almost decided not to memorize one this go round, but so far I have memorized one every time and I didn’t want to mess up my record. So I decided to go to Bible Gateway and just go with their verse of the day. Look what it was:
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4 NIV
This is not a fun verse to memorize, cuz it means I will probably get lots of opportunities to put it into practice – ugh!! 🙂 Well, I guess ALL Scripture is truly beneficial, right??
