Too much to do... NOT ENOUGH TIME!

Sorry I've almost missed posting this on the first day of the month. (Thanks, Twana, for the reminder!!!)

Proverbs 2:3-4 ESV

Verse 16

I'm actually about to break the original rules a little bit... School starts tomorrow, and my deepest prayer for the upcoming year is for wisdom. I feel like that is something I was greatly lacking last year, so I am desperate for it... Because of that, I want to begin to memorize and meditate on Scripture about wisdom - perhaps for the entire school year, even after this blog concludes in December. To begin, I want to memorize all of Proverbs 2. I hope that if I can do it a little at a time, maybe I will stick with it and get it all... That's a hard commitment to make when the most captivating verses are not at the very beginning of the chapter, but I know it will be worth it to memorize a group of verses in their context.

"My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding,"
Proverbs 2:1-2 ESV
(See? That's not even a complete thought! Haha...)

Love y'all! Can't wait to read the Scripture that the Lord places on your heart this time!

Verse 15

Jamey - Morris, AL

"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."
