Last year the LPM Blog challenged us to do scripture memory – 2 verses a month. Since I dropped the ball after a few months I thought earlier this week about how I had “failed.” But the more I thought about the less it seemed like a failure to me. Even now those sweet verses that I did memorize come back to me and comfort me, so how in the world can this be a failure? :)
I had been toying with doing some scripture memory when I read that sweet Valerie had decided to continue with the LPM challenge on her blog. This thrilled me as I love to share that sort of thing with others.
And then, while looking at some scrapbooking blogs I came upon Patter’s Scripture Challenge and knew it was a done deal. I love the idea of her challenge – she gives a word every other week and we find a verse to scrapbook. For me, I’ll take it a step further and that will be my memory verse for Valerie’s challenge.
I am thrilled with this whole plan because at the end of the year I should have scriptures memorized to cover all sorts of subjects. Better yet will be a book with those verses.
Our first word was HOPE and I chose the following for my verse:
“While we wait for the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13 NIV
I’ve decided to do my scrapbook pages digitally so that I can work on that. The paper I found has sort of a sunburst in the middle, which made me think of that glorious appearing!
I’ll need to look up the paper and embellishment so that I can properly credit them – that part is still new to me and I’ve not quite got it organized. :)
Have a great Saturday today!
I to felt like a failure because I did not complete last year challenge, why do we do this to our self? How can we fail, when we where studying Gods word and being in His presence? I am geting on board this year as well, and will cherish every minute. Your page is wonderful, excellent scripture...have a blessed week!

Nice layout! You aren't a failure if you gave it a try and are willing to jump in and do it again!
ReplyDeleteI wished I could have done Beth Moore's scripture memory group last year and then gone to Houston, but my plate was just too full last year to participate. I am sharing in Valerie's memory group this year. Valerie and I got to meet each other this past October. It was so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of scrapbooking scripture pages, but that idea may have to wait until another year. Love & blessings from NC!
So glad you are joining in! Love that verse and your pink page! :) And anytime spent in God's Word is never a failure. He loves the time you give Him. I pray He will give you a desire to spend more time with Him. Blessings,
ReplyDeleteHi there! I too am participating in this challenge as well and trying to keep up on the comments. I just love the symbolism behind your sunburst. Beautiful artwork. Thanks for sharing.
