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.

    Patty Laramore, Ada, OK

    Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!! Will be there with bells on, birthday ones, at that. My daughter (Melissa Hoover) from Locust Grove, GA and I covenanted to participate in the SSMT in January 2011, promising upon successful completion that we would celebrate a year of fresh scriptures written on our hearts AND her 33rd birthday weekend with the SSMT family in Houston! Turned into an even bigger PAR-TAY as she is bringing 2 more Siesta Sisters from GEORGIA. Who in the world, ‘cept our God, would arrange such a fabulous birthday party for my darling one? See you all soon…we might be the ones with the noisemakers and birthday hats…ha!

    I am sure it will be awesome!!
    I have my spiral…and I have posted several on my blog…which I didn’t start my posts until the later part of 2011. See my MISSION ACCOMPLISHED post for my final thoughts of SSMT!
    Thanks so much for the challenge!! God’s word is alive!!!

    I won’t be able to attend as my husband lost his job this year and finances are tight. Memorizing the passage on the armor of God (Ephesians 6) was an amazing encouragement to my husband And I during this time! So glad I had my verses ready for the battle.

    2010’s celebration was on of the highlights of my life! Have a wonderful time celebrating God together!

    Debbie,can says:

    Hey
    I have completed the Memory work. I may not be able to say all the verses however God is bringing them back to me in different situations I am faceing. With His help I then say the verse. With living with chronic illness and pain,I sometimes have memory loss moments,so was concered that I would even be able to complete this challenge. I have 50 verses on my spirial card bk. With waiting at Dr’s offices I have many chances to read and reread the verses.
    I will not be attending the party.
