I’m so glad you signed up to memorize Psalm 1 with us, David! I love your imagery of the verses being “anchoring.” They drop a line in the water and help us stay still.

Yes, it is so cool how God can bring scriptures to mind at just the right time that we may have learned years ago. The key for me is having put them in my mind to start off with! Then they’ll be there when he wants to pull them back out. Reviewing the older verses is the hardest thing for me to have patience with, but in the middle of the night, I have nothing else but time. 🙂

Yes, Trudy – being empowered with God’s own word is the absolute best! Thank you, friend. You always bless me.

I know what you mean, Diane. I often listen to podcasts in the middle of the night when I really need a heavy distraction to help me get back to sleep. I use the sleep-timer on my phone so the podcast won’t go on for hours. Years ago, I would listen to Joyce Meyer on my mp3 player in the middle of the night and it would play on and on; I would start dreaming that I was trying to turn off Joyce Meyer but I never could make her be quiet. ha.

Yes, those 2am wake-up calls are often the hardest times to tame our mind. There’s something about the darkness of night that takes away my rationality. I love how you’re memorizing scripture, Bev! Leaving yourself post-it notes is something my mom used to do when she was still here. When we visited, we’d find scripture on her bathroom mirror, kitchen cabinets, etc. Thanks for sharing that!

“building a plan” – You sound like a woman living life on purpose. Way to go, Susan. May God bless you on this journey.

Thanks, Teresa. I didn’t sleep well last night, so hopefully I will sleep more restfully tonight. But I did get through a lot of my memory verses. 🙂
