I took a week off from adding new verses to the memory bank. I wanted to make sure that 1-18 were truly there...there for good. This journey has been quite amazing so far. I've always been able to memorize the words to a song after hearing only a few times but never been able..or never tried rather, to commit to memory a huge chunck of verses from God's Word. And here they are...the new verses for the week:
"Yes, and I will rejoice because I know this will lead to my deliverance through your prayers and help from the Spirit of Jesus Christ. My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all boldness, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death. FOR ME, LIVING IS CHRIST AND DYING IS GAIN. Now if I live in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don't know which one I should choose. I am pressured by both. I have a desire to depart and be with Christ--which is far better--but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you. Since I am persuaged of this, I know that I will remain and contiue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that because of me, your confidence may grow in Christ Jesus when I come to your again."
That is a lot to chew on this fine Monday morning after a long weekend. I shall come back and debrief this later but for now I am starting to plant it in the recesses of my heart and mind.
