Craig and I love doing things and spending time together; one of the thing we love doing is everything that has to do with our LORD, (church, Bible, people, prayer). For the past few weeks, we've been learning more and more about God; this is the third storm we face as husband and wife, we've been married for four month only, and it hurts SO badly but here we still are. We know that the enemy is going to try to hurt us where it hurts the most, but we do know that greater is the one who is in us, that the one who is in the world! ( 1 John 4:4) Amen!!!
During this time of suffering for us, the LORD is urging us to learn more Bible scripture to memorize it, so we got a good idea, which we believe it comes from Him. During the time Jesus was tempted, He answered the devil with scripture. (Matthew 4:1-11) "It is written"- Jesus told Satan and that's how we need to be, we need to use the word of God, we need to truly believe in all His promises. The word of God has power to make us free, to comfort us, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:14-17)
This is our idea for memorizing more Bible verses: We selected three points in our home, where we spend more time. Number 1-Craig' office where he checks his e-mail, does homework, reads and prays; number 2- the kitchen where I cook, of course, and spend a few hours a day (LOL) and number three the mirror in our bathroom, not because we spent a lot of time looking at ourselves, but we thought it's a good place because when we wake up, that's the first thing we see...the mirror! After selecting those "strategical points", we printed a Bible verse in Spanish and English in a piece of paper and put them on those three places. I thought it will be more interesting to learn in both languages at the same time, and since Craig needs to practice his Spanish it will be good...lol We will change it every three or four days, depending in how long it is... The challenge is to be able to memorize it in both languages!
How do we choose the Bible verses? we pray first because we believe God is guiding us through this new learning process! You can try it, it is fun and you don't need to do it in Spanish.
"Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him" (Matthew 4:11)
We are sharing our journey of life; a great and adventurous journey that our GOD had prepared for us! "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) "

Because only God can give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4)
