I had planned on posting early since we were heading out of town...oh, well :) Here's what I began memorizing on the 15th:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-25 (TNIV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject whatever is harmful.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
A few neighborhood friends and I are working through Beth Moore's "When Godly People Do Ungodly Things," and this is one of the scriptures we've focused on. I definitely want to be prepared for whatever test I come to, and I think this scripture is a great place to start! May God bless you as you meditate on His Word!

July's 1st Scripture Memory
I love this verse, but especially enjoy the last part:
Isaiah 40:11 TNIV
"He tends His flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in His arms
and carries them close to His heart;
He gently leads those that have young."
The Hebrew word for "gently leads" is "nahal." It's first definition is: to lead, give rest, lead with care, guide to a watering place or station, cause to rest, bring to a station or place of rest, guide, refresh. It also can mean "to lead or bring to a station or goal" or "to journey by stations or stages."
Being a mother of 2 little rambunctious boys, I definitely need some guidance! The meaning "to journey by stations or stages" reminds me that each portion of time is a stage--with my children as well as myself--and God will lead me, my husband and our boys through each one if we will follow Him. He wants to lead you, too!
