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.

    Kathy from Leamington Ontario Canada (the most southern tip of Canada just across from Detroit Michigan )( we still see grass and had 48 F today-heard snow on its way for Fri)

    Yes I have thoroughly enjoyed and been blessed and couldn;t live without this challenge every 2 years. It is such a part of my life now. Is such a rich reward to memorize His Word and then have it in our hearts to direct our life choices but also to pray over others as I do at least twice a week- all of them- as I excercize.

    Unfortunately I am unable to join the Houston Celebration- this has been surgery year for me but I am already awaiting the Jan 2014 Celebration and want to try desperately to get some friends on board with me- they think at this age they absolutely can;t do it as we are always all complaining ’bout our bad memories -but this year the consistent challenge of memorizing has helped my always-lacking-after-surgery brain.

    I feel like throwing a Party for the Lord and what His Word can do in our hearts and through us, while you are in Houston celebrating. Could you include us who couldn;t attend somehow in the Celebration?- maybe by sharing the sessions ? music included? That would be an honour for us as it is for those in real-live-attendance. Will be praying His Glory to shine and for you all to be touched by Him in a new way that weekend- with tears of joy and sadness-Kathy.

    I finished my 24 verses, but will not be attending the “Siesta Fiesta” in Houston.

    Since I wasn’t going to be able to recite them in Houston, I spent the week between Christmas and New Years Day typing out all my verses each morning, printing them, then correcting them so I could make sure each word was right. Then I would study the corrected mistakes for the next day’s “test”. Each day I had fewer mistakes (65, 55, 26, 10, 2). It was too time-consuming to do all of the time, but it worked out well during vacation.

    Yes, I have my 24 scriptures plus ones on the back side of of the cards in the spiral more scriptures I would read from other siesta’s and love. Still working on those. And my girls, who were also planning on coming, have theirs too. One has all of hers plastered on her mirror!

    Sadly, and with tears, no – we are not coming. But have to testify of the love of siesta’s. Last time I met, for the first time, some lovely siestas and we have kept in contact. Had totally planned on coming this year, but because of health and finances can not. But these sweet ladies, who are from different parts of the country, offered to let me share their room at NO COST to me! How sweet is that?! Gotta love the Love of Christ shining through Siestaville. Thank you Beth, for bringing so many together. (I “know” so many more this year from twitter and facebook – praying you all have a great time!!)

    Hoping for lots of twitter updates and maybe a livestream!
