Resolution Schmesolution

I've been reading various New Year's Resolutions around the blogosphere, and I have bad experiences with resolutions. I mean if I fall through on the resolution, why should I wait till the next year? My life is a series of falling and getting right back up IN SO MANY WAYS! Goals are good, though....I have several of those that I started back in November. However, I do like what I find as I'm reading over at Beth Moore's blog. I am a Beth More groupie, I'll admit that! But ONLY because she knows how to communicate with us about our Almighty in a deep and powerful way! If you are a reader of her blog, you are a "Siesta." So that makes me a Siesta. And I rarely comment on her blog because 3000 folks comment on her blog ,and I don't want to muddy it up more. But she has something going on that is really fantastic. It is resolutionish, but I'm joining in anyway! I will commit to memorizing two Scriptures a month. That is do-able, right? She recommends getting a spiral index card set to record these Scriptures....that'll be on my shopping list for tomorrow. But I thought you all might like to know my first Scripture. Beth is having us check in on the 1st and 15th of the month to share our Scriptures, but I may just share them here, too. If you want to learn more, head over to this blog post and read for yourself. I don't think there is a time frame if you want to sign up late....I did! You might also read here (it talks about signing up "late").

My Scripture is Isaiah 54:10 (this is out the New Living Translation):
"For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

AMEN! I am not good at keeping resolutions. They are like Diets and never work! LOL

I think your commitment to working on scriptures is great! I need to do that too! I am terrible at it!

Dropping in from SITS!

ADORE BETH MOORE!!!!!!! Doing this same resolution! I've not seen many people that can get you excited to be immersed in the word like her! Thanks for the visit to my blog! The black dress is also my Mr. Mine's vote.

I actually had success with the whole resolution thing for the first time in my life. I was pleasantly surprised to look back at my list and find that I had succeed. PRAISE GOD! Beth Moore is extremely gifted in communicating and ministering to women. I enjoy reading her work.

Thanks for stopping by today. I was glad to see I am not the only one to see the youtube video for the first time. I was beginning to feel like a ninkapoop. *grin*

Oh, I really like the memorization idea. I used to be so good at doing that.

And, I love Beth Moore, too--especially her wardrobe! ;)

Thanks for popping by my blog!
