So, at least I warned that I might be a tad late! We've been super busy and are learning tons of stuff that I want to share as soon as I can make sense of it (and be sound enough to put together a reasonable sentence!).
My scripture today comes from the Message translation and I love it!
Matthew 11:28-30 Message
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Jesus' words are so comforting to me. I've been immersed in a people whose hope is not in Him and although I do see smiles on their faces, I don't sense a peace about their spirit. Oh, how I want to learn the UNFORCED rhythms of grace!!! I try so hard to follow a schedule--it really does help me, so it's not bad. But sometimes I find myself becoming a slave to my schedule. Just a couple of the many reasons why I love this verse.
What are you working on searing on your heart and mind? Do share!

February 1st Scripture Memory
Wow! It hardly seems as if 1/12 of 2010 is already past us, but here we are in February. I have the privilege of traveling very soon, so I am going to work on embedding this lovely scripture in my heart:
Psalm 4:8 TNIV
In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety.
During turbulent flights & restless nights I will cling to this verse to encourage me of the One who protects us. No. Matter. What. He promises to protect us, to be a shield right by our side, to protect us from all harm, protecting our very life, as well as our coming and going, both now and forever (Psalm 121:5-8). He is good and His mighty love endures forever!!
Because of travel coming up, the February 15th Scripture Memory post may be a little early or late, depending on when I have internet access, but it will come. I pray you are being blessed immeasurably by the dwelling of God's Word in your mind and heart--I know it pleases Him!!
