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 heartā„) 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. Ā What a ride! Smiles.Ā Ā BTW:Ā 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 ā same format (name, city, verse).
OR
2. Post on the LPM FacebookĀ – Meaning you post your verse as a comment on the SSMT Facebook post ā 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
ā¢ Do I have to have a personal Facebook page to leave a comment on the LPM Facebook page? Yes.Ā Facebook has a “help” section which will show you various options that include making your Facebook page “private”.
ā¢ What is the Facebook name? Living Proof Ministries with Beth Moore
ā¢ 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”.Ā The “Note” will post on the timeline, just like a normal post.
ā¢ 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.
ā¢ How do I find the āNotesā section? On the Facebook page you will see the menu bar (just to the lower right of Beth’s picture):Ā āTimelineā, āAboutā, āNotesā – select āNotesā.
ā¢ 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.
ā¢ 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.

I forgot to double check to see if my verse posted. Normally I look at the number that I see before me to be able to go back and check but it didn’t happen this time. Also, I have a facebook group of ladies that I am encouraging to participate in memorizing the 2 scriptures a month…even if they are not joining us here (which I have HIGHLY encouraged š so I was trying to set that up and make sure every one understood what we were doing. So double checking on my verse just got pushed the back. I am having trouble just checking on about 35 women…so hats off to you wonderful ladies for checking on thousands of women!!! Thank you so much for all you do!
Ah Jeanne, so happy that you’ve got a local group joining you! Best thing is to note the time (Central Standard Time) that you submit your verse and they will show up in chronological order once they are approved. Blessings!
