  1. Mine are not all directly from Scripture, but I'm thankful for the helps they have been in absorbing scripture even more. :)

    1. My Bible memory app. Last year I put all my memory verses on 3x5 cards. it was hard to keep them neat in my purse. This is so much better. Best of all, it was free!

    2. The Twitter Armchair Theology group. We each read the same Bible chapter each day and share our insights. I love the daily opportunity to learn with others.

    3. My current verse...1 Peter 3:8.

    1. I got Jesus Calling (and the kids one) for Christmas and I love them too. They're not scripture but they sure point me there. :)

  2. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him. Lamentations 3:22-24



    “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
    declares the Lord.

    "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    As the rain and the snow
    come down from heaven,
    and do not return to it
    without watering the earth
    and making it bud and flourish,
    so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,

    so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,
    but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

    Isaiah 55:8-11

    This is the day which the Lord has made;
    Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

    Psalm 118:24

    1- really enjoying a book my friend Debbie gave me before she moved, we plan to read and discuss together through email "The Resolution for Women"
    2- reminded daily through the kids: quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry James 1:19
    3- my closing on every email:

    Always be joyful.
    Never stop praying.
    Be thankful in all circumstances
    for this is God's will for you
    who belong to Christ Jesus.

    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

  4. These are all verses that we have displayed in our home as reminders...

    27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.

    Psalm 143:8
    8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.

    Psalm 121
    1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
    where does my help come from?
    2 My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.
