Hey Ladies – it is almost time to post your 2nd verse on January 15th! How are you doing with your 1st verse?
The January 1st post was super fun! It is wonderful to see all of your names and verses. I love how you all encourage one another!
And listen, we know how hard some of you had to work to get your verse posted! Way to persevere!
The blog truly could not keep up with all the traffic; many of you experienced delays and/or slowness. Then many of you (bless your heart♥) could not find your verse to confirm it was posted. Staff had the pedal to the metal to bring in (moderate) these verses, and then did a few “search and confirm” requests.  What a ride! Smiles.  BTW: Beth took 1st place for bringing in the most comments – go Beth!
Ok, so with hope of making all things easier, you now have posting options. You can…
1. Keep with the LPM Blog – Meaning you post your verse as a comment for the SSMT Blog post, just as before – same format (name, city, verse).
OR
2. Post on the LPM Facebook – Meaning you post your verse as a comment on the SSMT Facebook post – same format (name, city, verse).
Either way, have a blast!
We are thrilled and thankful to share this year of scripture memory with you!
Q&A
• Do I have to have a personal Facebook page to leave a comment on the LPM Facebook page? Yes. Facebook has a “help” section which will show you various options that include making your Facebook page “private”.
• What is the Facebook name? Living Proof Ministries with Beth Moore
• Will the Facebook be exactly like the Blog? Yes, LPM will post a duplicate of Beth’s Blog post on the 1st & 15th of each month in a Facebook “Note”. The “Note” will post on the timeline, just like a normal post.
• What is a Facebook “Note”? “Notes” are put in a section of Facebook which will provide an easy to find section on the LPM Facebook page for SSMT 2015.
• How do I find the “Notes” section? On the Facebook page you will see the menu bar (just to the lower right of Beth’s picture): “Timeline”, “About”, “Notes” – select “Notes”.
• How will I know when a Facebook “Note” has been posted? Depending on your Facebook settings, you will receive a Facebook notification whenever a new SSMT Note is posted.
• What if I am already signed up for email notifications with the LPM Blog? Great! It is fine to stay signed up. Blog notifications auto-send after a new blog is posted so you would likely see this new post in your email inbox the evening of, or day after a post.
• Will the SSMT Blog community and SSMT Facebook Community now be 2 separate groups? No, SSMT will remain 1 Community group. There will be one celebration for all (January 2016). You are welcome to interact with others at both locations; the LPM Blog and the LPM Facebook.
• Do I post my verse on both the Blog and on Facebook? No, please choose only one location.
• Do I need to re-post my January 1st verse on Facebook if I have already posted on the Blog? No ma’am.
• Can I invite others to join or is registration closed? Yes, you can invite others – anyone can join at anytime! A spiral of 24 verses is their ticket into the January 2016 celebration. The starting instructions will remain posted at: Siesta Scripture Memory Team 2015 Instructions and Spiral Information.
How did we know if our post posted on the first? I couldn’t begin to go through ten thousand comments.
It is quite a task finding them isn’t it, Bobbie Jo? Grin. Your verse did indeed post on 1/01/15 at 12:16pm, comment #3209.
In the future if you want to see your comment, the best thing to do is note the time you submit it (Central Standard Time) and it will show up in chronological order. Blessings, and welcome to SSMT!
Sorry to be a burden, but I couldn’t find my registration because I forgot to look at my post number. I figured you all got it, but now I’m nervous after reading this post. Would you please confirm that you received it. No hurry!
Thank you!

Yes ma’am we got it! 2015/01/01 at 2:52 pm #5933. The best thing to do next time is note the time you submit it (Central Standard Time) and it will show up in chronological order. Blessings, and welcome to SSMT!
Thank you so very much and got it for next time. Much appreciated!
I don’t have a facebook page anymore, so I’ll stay here, but I wanted to thank all of you for your efforts to keep everyone connected on the SSMT! Keep up the good (though hard) work ladies!
I love this.. I posted my second verse already last week. Do I post it again, it seemed like two weeks worth but it was just one week
Carol, You are welcome to submit your 2nd verse on tomorrow’s “Verse 2” post, but it is completely fine if you leave it as is.
I’m not sure my first verse posted. I tried searching for it, but could not find it according to the time I posted. Can you confirm if it posted?
Hi Pamela, Your comment was #493 and posted on Jan 1st at 8:51AM.  It is quite a task finding them isn’t it? Grin.

Will there be an update to the SSMT app?
Dear Sister, I know the app is being updated and edited, but I do not have news of when or if it will be ready for use. We will surely let you know when it is!
I never got any kind of reply to my scripture posting so I am not sure if it posted. I read as many entries as I could. Should I expect some kind of response?
While each comment submitted goes through a ‘moderation’ period, you will not receive any response.

I echo the last compliment. We are blessed to have this wonderful team overseeing Gods work!! I have to chuckle because technology can be so cumbersome. Thanks for all you do. Heaven is smiling over you.
Beth, my husband was so impressed with the SSMT that he wanted to get involved. He adapted your program for his adult Bible Study Class. We are amazed at the excitement. So far we have 23 people signed up and we only average 18 each Sunday morning. Just proves Ephesians 3:20 & 21 is still well and working! He thanks you very much for hosting such a worthwhile endeavor. We appreciate you and you staff for all that you do. We are blessed.
Oh so fun, Wanda! That is just great that he is joining you, and inviting others along on his journey!
With using facebook to post the verses will Beth still communicate with the ones using Facebook as a way? I love that Beth does so much for all of us and always helping us to grow in his word.
I anticipate more interaction on Facebook since adding this NOTE field option for SSMT!
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so they may see your good works

How do I know if my first post went through? Where do I find my post? Many thanks for your patience.

Just checking You got my first posting…and by the way, I got to pray my verse over several local church leaders last week! What a blessing!
Hi Shelagh, Actually of all of the people I have checked for, yours is the first that did not post. But I am only looking on the LPM Blog comments. Is it possible you shared it on the Facebook page?
Sorry, but on the facebook page the Notes section isn’t showing up under Beth’s picture. I will still post on the blog but didn’t know if others were having trouble or needed other help with where tp go. Thank you to all of you at LPM you are a greater blessing than you could ever know!
I’m so sorry you are not able to see the Notes, Anita. I just checked a few co-workers’ computers in the office and am seeing it so I am not sure hoe to help you further. But, yes, like you said, you are welcome to continue posting on the LPM Blog. See you tomorrow for Verse 2!

Romans 12:10 (HCSB)–“Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
My first verse is from Psalm 103 which I have been studying for about a month now. I read the entire psalm every day and I am amazed! I have so many of the verses memorized just by reading. I do not want to forget the first 4 verses so that is why I am using them. This experience has taught me well – read your verse multiple times a day and you will have it down! So Simple!!

I have looked through 30 pages of comments from the Jan 1 SSMT start, looking for my post. I can narrow it down to posting Jan 1 after 9:51pm, but I’m wondering if there is a faster way to find it from your end. Scrolling through in search of my post I see a number attached to each post and will pay closer attention to that and the time I post as stated in an above reply. I really appreciate your help. Thanks.
I see from this post that the number doesn’t get attached until after moderating. I’ll note time stamp from now on.
Nevermind…I found it#15312 on the 93rd page I scrolled through 🙂 YIPPEE! Sorry to bother you.

Will there be an app for our phones as there has been before? I did use that app for daily “help.”
Hi Judy, I know the app is being updated and edited, but I do not have news of when or if it will be ready for use. We will surely let you know when it is!
I don’t know if my verse got posted and truly do not know how to locate my post!! Along with memorizing verses I will be learning Twitter…. please pray for me!!! Any help you could give me would be appreciated!!!

Ya’ll are such a blessing and I am amazed and excited at how many people responded. I know it’s hard to get through them all but I posted my verse before noon on Jan. 1st. I scrolled through 66 pages and still didn’t find mine. Did I goof and do it wrong? God bless every one at LPM!

I’m not sure if my first verse posted, but here’s to hoping as I post verse #2!
Proverbs 3:3~4 Let love and faithfulness never leave you: bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win good favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

“For you are all children of the light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.”
1 Thessalonians 5:5 (ESV)
You have all worked so hard to make this as easy as possible for all of us. Not to mention all your hard work on moderation day. Thank you! Thank you! How dear you all are to my heart! Much Love, Mary G.
From Laura in Kansas:
“Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 NIV
I have thoroughly enjoyed memorizing my verse these past 14 days! I chose one I already knew by heart because I needed to be reminded of this verse over and over each day and OH how I have loved it! Proverbs 3:5,6 I have needed to remember that I cannot lean on my own understanding because there are just some things that I am NEVER going to understand this side of Heaven and that is totally all right! I also read this week in my devotional “New Morning Mercies” by Paul Tripp that our lives truly are shrouded in mystery at times ~ but not because He wants to keep us in the dark – quite the contrary – it is for OUR good and HIS glory. Amen! What truth! He’s got it even if it looks like chaos to me. He is not surprised, confused, worried, lazy, forgetful, or partial to people! Thank you Lord! I’m ready for a new Word tomorrow! Thanks LPM!!

Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. [Acts 18:10.] (â€Isaiah‬ â€41‬:â€10‬ AMP)
