Siesta Scripture Memory Team: Verse 24!
Good morning, Siestas! It's Amanda checking in to do your very last Scripture memory post - number 24!
Our very dear friend Mary Ann Bridgwater called me a few days before the surgery to ask about my mom's favorite Bible verse. She said she wanted to have the verse put into a frame so that we could set it at her bedside in the hospital. Mom's favorite verse is Psalm 27:4.
Look at what she had made. Isn't that gorgeous?
It brought me a lot of comfort during some of our intense moments.
If you're checking in this morning without a specific verse on your heart to memorize, I invite you to do this one with me.
One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:4
Congratulations on completing 24 memory verses in one year. Way to go, Siestas! You made it to the end.
By the way, Jackson is in his very first musical program tonight. It's highly possible that I could have some good stories for you tomorrow. Enjoy your Tuesday!
ADDED NOTE FROM BETH: Siestas, I AM SO STINKING PROUD OF YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! This has been one of the most exhilarating, soul-building projects we've ever done on this blog. COME TO HOUSTON TO CELEBRATE in January! The week after the event we are going to work on a special download of the gathering just for those of you who completed your requirements but were unable to attend. We are so proud of all of you. May God blow your mind with the power of His Word. Feel His pleasure, Sweet Things. He highly esteems what you've just accomplished. Amanda, my Darling, thank you for coming through for me on this final post of 24. I had just about enough energy to write this brief hello. I am joining you on this verse. It's the perfect way to wrap up what we've been doing for a year.

Romans 12 : 19-21
Do not take revenge my friends,
but leave room for GOD's wrath,
for it is written:
"I will repay, says the LORD.

if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals on his head."
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Praying for you...

“I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.”

Talk and act like a person expecting to be judged by the rule that sets us free.
For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.

Hi Amanda, Beth, and all other Siestas!
Firstly, let me tell you something I did not do the other day when I posted my prayer for Beth. My name is Cindy and I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a new siesta, having found this blog only recently. I am legally blind and work a beautiful female Yellow Lab named "Mesa" as a guide dog.
Secondly, Psalm 27:4 spoke to me just now as I read it. I will remember that verse. Also, I want to
commit to memory Jeremiah 29:11. In the NIV, it reads: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Recently I have had (and am still experiencing) a deep financial trial, but I know that my God will supply! And I know that He has plans fvor me, even in the midst of the trial. Just the reminder that He knows the plans and thoughts He has of me has really just been a calming thing during this time.
I only of course found the blog recently, but wanted to at least jump in on this last verse of the year with you siestas. Smile!
In His love,
Cindy and "Mesa"

How can I repay the Lord for all his acts of kindness to me? I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord.

Joy in Mansfield, TX
Oh sweet siestas, I know this is not the place to post this, but I cannot find my scripture spiral. And I am beside myself!
So if any of you see this, please pray. I have been looking for over an hour and can't find it. I just finished going through the trash outside in 20 degrees, windy and rainy, just in case it got tossed with some stuff I had sorted through. I had it last on Sunday.
This not only has my scriptures, but many notes on what was going on as I was learning them and the amazing things God is doing in my life.
I have looked everywhere that I can possibly think of. I have to get in the shower and get ready for work now. So I am going to go put some PRAISE MY GOD music on(real loud) and do just that. Praise my Lord and saviour whether I find the spiral or not.
Satan cannot steal my joy over this. The joy of the Lord is my strength.
Thank you siestas!

The LORD is my shepherd;

He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 23 (NKJ)

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations."

Just last week, I listened to a message Beth delivered (My Determined Purpose.)The verse she taught on impacted me so much that I am still digesting it and have decided to choose it as my final memory verse for this year.
When I began the siesta memory challenge, my hope was that I would come to know Christ more intimately through His word. That has in fact happened and I am so thankful.
So that being said, here is my final verse for 2009:
"[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]11That if possible I may attain to the [[b]spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body]."
