SSMT Roll Call

Siestas! We are less than two weeks away from our Siesta Scripture Memory Team Celebration! In case you realized how much of a mouth full that is, that is why we lovingly refer to it as the SSMTC around here. Grin.

With Christmas, New Years and Passion 2012 behind us, we are looking very forward to the celebration, especially because of how quick it will land on us. Sometime during the next week be looking for a fun FAQ post about the weather, food and all things regarding Houston, but until then, we want to hear from you.

We are anxious to know who completed the scripture memory challenge on this blog EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING TO COME TO THE CELEBRATION. That just means that you have your spiral filled with 20-24 scriptures, posted your verses on the blog, and have hidden the Word in your heart, we want to know who you are.

If this applies to you (and you completed the commitment), we’d love for you to comment and tell us three things:

1) Name:
2) City:
3) Are you coming to the celebration? Yes or No. (Because we want to acknowledge and celebrate you either way!)

Remember, this is for anyone who completed the 2011 scripture memory challenge! When we say there is NO condemnation for those who didn’t finish please hear us loud and clear: there is no condemnation or guilt! We just love a good party here at LPM and want to celebrate with you.

So, even if you have no plans to come to the celebration, but have completed your memory work, let us hear from you!

We love y’all dearly. T-minus 11 days. We cannot wait!

P.S. Some of you have been looking for the SSMT FAQ page, here is the link to help you out.

    Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the celebration. I submitted and memorized 23 out of 24 vs. I referred back to those verses many times when praying about different circumstances. Thanks SO much for the challenge! I’ll be missing you all next wknd. and praying for you!

    Mimi of Six in Decatur, Al. I wish we would do it again. So awesome. No I was unable to memorize all of them. Parts of them but they so blessed me and helped me each day. Did I awesome? Just AWESOME. I just can’t believe how each scripture was just what I needed. One more Awesome.

    3. Signed up, but not sure at this point. Will make a decision by week’s end.

    I think Jenn Nahrstadt’s suggestion for a live stream for those who cannot attend is a marvelous idea! Not the same as being there in person, but the next-best-thing! πŸ™‚

      Chrissy Jones –
      That is precious! My man WAS a fearful flyer for years… still not to keen on it! I remember one therapy which suggested wiggling his toes during takeoff. Wacky, I know, but it forced him to relax his leg muscles and conentrate on a specific muscle group. That and your VERSES could be a great combination! I’ll be praying her in, Siesta!
