Scripture Memorization

Well, I finally took down the verses from 2009. If any of you paid close attention, I'm sure you noticed that I only made it till June. That was more or less a New Year's resolution from last year that I didn't complete along with all the others I set before myself. Therefore, I didn't even make any this year!
The scripture memorization actually came from Beth Moore's blog. She invited the readers of her blog to join her in learning two verses a month. Maybe one day I'll get there!
Currently I am doing her study on Daniel and she asked in the study that we memorize the verses you see on my sidebar now. The study will be over in a few weeks and I haven't learned them yet so I better get busy!
On another note, I apparently am over 100 posts now and didn't even realize it when I posted the 100th! And it only took me about 2 years to get there. :)

Just for you Ashley

I have been the worst blogger ever this year. And by year, I mean school year. It has definitely been kicking my butt physically and mentally unlike last school year. That's about the only good excuse I have for not blogging more often. I am just tired and don't feel like it! :)
But my friend Ashley from UA gave me an award on her blog about a month ago. I'm not sure why, because I've never felt like I was very interesting. Maybe she doesn't have that many blogs she reads. haha Anyway, she commented again within the last couple of days and told me it had been a month and that I needed to blog already!
So here it is. I usually only like to blog about one topic. But this may be a hodgepodge.
I have recently learned to knit. I am really loving it! One of the teachers at school taught a bunch of us. We made red scarves (or in my case, are still making!) to donate to the hospital because February is women's heart health month. But now we are all wanting to make one for ourselves and friends and family. You can purchase some beautiful yarn, etc. at Threads in Dogwood Court. It is owned by a friend of the lady at school who is teaching us.
The girls in my SS class and I are doing Daniel by Beth Moore. It is awesome! Actually, every study I've done by her has been awesome. But we have learned a lot thus far. I am not as familiar with the Old Testament so doing studies like this and Esther have really been great.
Like I mentioned earlier, work has been something else this year. In addition to working with the hearing impaired children, I also work with all of our autistic students. Needless to say, I have a very full day! I do love my job (with a few exceptions, but don't we all feel that way sometimes?) and am thankful that I am blessed to have a job in this economy. And I'm trying not to worry now that Dothan City Schools may be letting go up to 200 people at the end of this year!! The board is meeting Monday to determine some of those layoffs. I have so many friends this could affect and it's very scary! But I have to remember that God is in control and I am not!
Well, I guess that's all for now. I have to go to my niece's 6th birthday today. I can't believe how time flies! And Ashley, I will try to do better from now on. :)
