January 5 Joy Dare

January 5 Joy Dare - Something you're reading, making, and seeing.

Right now, I'm working through Romans. Since it's a memorization project, I'll be taking it in very small bites. But it's what I'm reading right now. I also have a book on my Kindle that I've been listening to today, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the book. =]


This is a scarf I'm making. This yarn and I have been in a battle for months. I've finally found something I can do with it and it was supposed to be a Christmas gift for someone, but I ran out of time. However, I'm still working on it and hope to give it to the intended before too long. 


Today I was able to see a dear friend I haven't seen in a few weeks. She's been very ill and between illness, freaky snow storms, and the holidays - coupled with the hour and a half - two hour commute to see her, it's been very difficult. BUT! Today I got to see her sweet face, pray with her, and just spend a few hours loving on her. It really couldn't have been a better day.

The Romans Project

My word is constant, right? That means I need to be constant. Remain steadfast. Be loyal. I need YOU to help me. Hold me accountable. Be my sister and tell me when I'm not being steadfast.

Another challenge presented by Ann Voskamp today was to join her in The Romans Project.



If you visit her page, she has quite a few ways to tackle this project and to find a way to make it work for you. More or less, she's asked us to memorize 3 chapters in the book of Romans in little pieces at a time.

Let me be transparent. I don't memorize anything. Not recipes. Not scripture. Not remedies. I'm just not capable. I can't do it. I can paraphrase until the cows come home, but word for word? Nope. I'm not that girl.

Can I tell you a secret? I totally just memorized the first two verses in Romans 1! I did it! Yep, this girl!

Ann encouraged using a program called Scripture Typer. Anything that can get ME to memorize is no joke. =]~
