Aw, fun! Today is "craft day" at church today, but DH is still sleeping...so, I'm not sure if I'll get to go. It only lasts until noon. I'm thinking he forgot.

I'm debating on which place I want to go too. There is one that is like 15 minutes away but it's $12.50 to go in, you get a free pumpkin, hayride etc. but the other one is an hour away, $10 to get in, they have pony rides, train rides, hay rides, free pumpkin, etc.

Hi! I was just coming on here to ask the same thing - how is everyone?

Is anyone working on scripture memorization? I'm working on Psalm 139 and it's kicking my butt for some reason. I'm just having a hard time staying consistent with it.

I'm doing well. Morning Sickness kicked it up a notch but it makes sense. 7 weeks today   No praying against my morning sickness. I'm totally grateful for it. While it makes me feel like crap, it soothes my mind. Thinking about calling out of work though today. Pray for me about that. My boss doesn't like people to call out period but especially around the holidays. I'm going to say I have a bug. Which isn't a lie since I now have cold symptoms... that and if you consider what baby looks like riht now... bug like   They don't know I'm pregnant yet. I'm waiting til at least 12 weeks to tell them. My co workers know though.

no scripture memorizing here. My brain is barely working enough for me to do my Esther homework. Which by the way.... the last video of Beth Moore's was on fear.... based off the verse Esther 4:16. When Esther ends it with "And if I perish, I perish." I had a very hard time choking back the violent sobs that threatened to burst out while watching it. I have so much fear. Its hard to imagine NOT living in fear. Especially now. Worrying constantly if this baby is ok. Happy about more prominant symptoms because it means my levels are high. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day  
Oh and I thought I'd throw in.... my pastor did a sermon on revelation last sunday... not doom and gloom but the part where John sees the throne room of God. He kept making references saying that the HCSB has better wording for this section... where the ESV said "slain" the HCSB said "slaughtered" which provided more of a brutal visual. So that was kind of cool to hear that he approved of my bible version choice   He wanted to see it after service too. Love our Pastor. Love our small church. Pastor and his wife are our friends. We know them well. They given us their extra dinner once... My son goes to their in home daycare. I see the wife weekly for a bible study. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I wish I could memorize my schedule :p I have no room in my brain haha. I don't do good with forced memorization. If I read or hear something that I feel is significant to me for some reason I remember it. Idk how it works but it does. I have so much random knowledge in my brain it's creepy. People at work think I'm crazy sometimes for the stuff I can rattle off about.

Honest question: what is memorization supposed to do? It doesn't work in school for long term memory so I guess I don't see the point since its probably the same concept. Long term memory comes from makin it memorable somehow. If its relative to your life then it's easier to store in long term memory. Idk im just curious if it's significant.

I think its helpful for God to communicate with you. He can make a verse pop in your head that might help you if you've memorized it. Of course He could do that even if you haven't memorized it but it might not mean as much if you don't realize its from the bible.

It's simply allowing the Holy Spirit to truly hide God's word in our heart. I don't memorize things word by word, I can't do it. I sometimes mix together versions/etc. The point is KNOWING God's word. In Colossians Paul talks about having a knowledge of God so that we are not deluded or defrauded by others.

Thanks ladies. Very helpful.
