Hey, you Scripture memory friends! We have made it all the way to verse 7! I felt like doing another little video for you this time around. It just feels warmer to me this way even if a written post is far more orderly and includes far less rambling. These videos are rough and unpolished but they are from the heart. I’m so proud of your hard work and your perseverance. Often when I read through your entries, I wonder if I’m getting a little clue about some of your circumstances and challenges. I don’t miss how many of you are memorizing Scriptures that encourage you to forgive someone. I am also deeply moved as I see many memorize Scriptures that remind you that YOU are forgiven and that you have been completely cleansed and that the power of Christ’s cross extends to YOU. Other times I smile seeing countless women selecting verses to help them keep their mouths shut in situations. Still other times I sense through your selections how very much you want to love people the way Christ has called you to love. AND IT’S HARD.
Maybe I’m reading too much into all of this. Maybe what’s resonating with me about your selections is that I myself am desperate for them. I have people to forgive. I need to believe and know without a doubt that I am completely forgiven and cleansed. I absolutely need to shut my mouth more often. And I want to love the way Christ has called me to love and, yes, sometimes it is the hardest thing on earth for me.
Nothing is like the Word of God. He leaves nothing out.
Ok, Girls! I am continuing a segment of Ephesians 3 so here is my entry this time around:
Beth Moore, Houston. “That according to the riches of His glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” Ephesians 3:16 ESV
I sure love all of you and I am blessed beyond words to serve you! Press on and keep up your memory work!

You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning ; my God turns
My darkness into light.
Psalm 18:28 NIV
Julie Barnes, Arkansas
I prayed to the Lord and He answered me. He freed me from all
My fears. Those who look to Him for help will be radiant with joy. In
My desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; He saved me from
All my troubles.
Psalm 34:4-5 NIV

Phil 3:10 NIV
I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
