Don't have too long...like many of you, I'm up to my elbows in Christmas preparations. Just wanted to check in to share my last passage. Like countless others this month, I decided to join Beth Moore in closing out the year with her favorite passage, Psalm 27:4 (NIV):
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
I couldn't think of a more perfect passage for closing out the year. This challenge has been a wonderful and incredible faith builder. While I have memorized scripture before, I've never done so a consistent basis. It has truly been life-changing! In a year of several twists and turns (my Dad's injury, job changes, the marriage of our son, to name a few...) I've never felt more peace in the very depths of my soul. Over and over again, the Lord has encouraged me, admonished me, humbled me and strengthened me as I read, re-read and committed these passages to memory.
I'm not sure yet if there will be an "official" Scripture Memory Challenge for 2010, but I personally have no intention of stopping! I'm hoping if you took part this year, you too will continue. If you didn't, why not give it a try? Think about it, only two verses a month. You can do it!
Blessings sweet friends!

Yes, a perfect choice! I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for the precious card that you and your amazing co-workers sent to Rachel. Our eyes flooded with tears as we read every word. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity; you have been such a blessing to us!
The peace you expressed that you feel in your heart exemplifies itself in your smile and words. It is a real true peace that I sense through your posts. Psalms 27:4 is so special to me. Thank you for sharing it today.
Your new blog look is exceptionally beautiful!
