Wow! Great job! I’m lucky if I can remember what I wore yesterday, not sure how I’d do with a whole chapter from the Bible!

Good job! I tried to memorize the first chapter of John a couple of years ago and I got up to about verse 40 before I quit. I admire you sticking with it. I’ve always found that writing the verses out helps me with memorizing too.

I think the key is, like you said, to see your mind being transformed. I confess, I haven’t intentionally memorized any large portions of scripture in a long time. But I do tend to write passages on 3×5 cards often and read them on the way to work, or while I walk. Eventually those phrases make their way from my head to my heart. So exciting to see C. excited about doing this also.

Great job, Katrina!

The Word of God hold such transforming power. This was a truly wonderful experience.

See you next time?

That is awesome, Katrina!

I love memorizing, too. My kids are in something called "Bible Quizzing", where they compete to learn all of Luke. They don't have to memorize the whole book, only about 200 verses, but they have to know the rest of it inside and out.

Since I coach, I have to learn it with them. Last year my daughter learned Galatians Ephesians Philippians & Colossians, and it's amazing how much she remembers!

What a gift to help the kids memorize. But how much better to do it yourself, too!

What a great job! I have always been bad at memorization and I have a bad association with memorizing Bible verses because of some too strict teachers in school. But I very much admire your efforts this month!

Great work Katrina! You always inspire me with the challenges you put forth and take on yourself. Perhaps we can meet up soon at Panera and you can prove your memory work like we used to do in Awanas! LOL! Kidding. It’s great that it wasn’t just an exercise in memorizing but it had an effect on your thoughts and actions.

This is a great summary, helping us see memory work in real life — what worked well. Very well! You aimed higher than I did, not reaching your goal, but still achieving more than I did with my modest goal. I didn’t even meet my one chapter!

We’ll take you at your word that you’ve got it down pat. And if we have any doubt, we know we can ask your 2 year old!

Sounds like memorizing those words has had a transformative effect.

The whole thing has been so eye-opening, and humbling, for me.

I’m so glad to have shared the whole experience with you.
