Not to fear, I'm ready to make the most of these last couple of weeks to live in these two verses:<br /><br />Romans 8:31-32 (I hope to memorize more of this as the year goes on)<br />What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? <br /><br />And this. Psalm 46:10.<br />Be still, and know that I am God.

It also gives me a chance to change the version (from NIV to ESV). <br /><br />This past week I have been meditating on Habakkuk 3:17-19.<br /><br />Habakkuk 3:17-19 (ESV):<br /><br />"Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like the deer's, he makes me tread on my high places."<br /><br />That word "my" at the end gets me. Not just any high places, but my high places, the places that daunt me the most. God is good. :) christy.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965955131723001178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-79639873153038927092015-01-09T07:45:05.401-08:002015-01-09T07:45:05.401-08:00I have two, each for different reasons.

If I am honest, I was worried about warping it into a 'good enough' contest, losing focus on the beautiful and transformative word of God and turning it into a task or yet another way to measure up. Oh, but how I deeply do want to meditate on and soak in the word of God this year! And I think the accountability will be welcome. So here I am, baggage and all. :) That said, I would probably rather a hand-hold than Jillian Michaels. :) <br /><br />I am starting with Philippians 4:8 (ESV):<br />"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, anything worthy of praise, think about these things."<br /><br />I would prefer to post as I memorize. This holds me personally more accountable. :) So perhaps my comments will be more sporadic than the first of the month, but hopefully this will encourage deeper follow-through for me and remove the temptation for any comparison. Running my own race. :) <br /><br />Looking forward to this. Thanks, Angel. :) christy.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965955131723001178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-58010638048051797312015-01-05T14:38:49.495-08:002015-01-05T14:38:49.495-08:00I'm super excited about this and it takes me b...I'm super excited about this and it takes me back to my first ever college group when it was hosted at Angel and Chad's house last summer. Angel had talked about memorizing scripture and afterwards I was super excited and picked a couple verses that really stood out to me that I wanted to memorize. Unfortunately I didn't stick to it and completely memorize them. One of them I wrote down and want to commit to this month is Matthew 6:33-34, every time I read it, I am always reassured that God has my life taken care of. <br />Matthew 6:33-34<br />"Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants.
