THE MOVIE

From Louisa May Alcott comes this passionate story of forbidden love and dangerous rivalry in 18th century New England. Beautiful orphan Edith Adelon lives as a paid companion to the wealthy Hamilton family’s daughter, Amy. When Edith falls in love with an eligible bachelor (Thomas Gibson, TV’s Criminal Minds)—visiting to court a Hamilton cousin, Ida (Brigid Brannagh, TV’s Army Wives)—she struggles to make sense of her position within the Hamilton household and society, her loyalty to her patrons, and her love for a young man she’ll never marry. Also starring three-time Emmy Award nominee Meredith Baxter.

SMT Verse #24

2011-03-15T11:44:00.000-05:00

Verse #24!!! We made it ladies...2 verses a month for one year. I am so proud of you who stuck with your commitment!

The verses I have chosen to memorize this time around are found in Colossians 1. They are two verses that we are asked to memorize for our Bible study..."That I May Know Him". It is Paul's prayer for the church in Colossae and my prayer for our study group and for me. I truly do want to walk in a manner worthy of my Savior.

"For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."

Colossians 1:9-10

Let me know what you have chosen to be your final verse for this one year commitment. And let me encourage you to keep this commitment going. It is so important to hide His Word in our hearts. I think I'll use the next couple of months to refresh these 24 verses so that I don't forget them. Then I'll start adding to my list again. It has been an honor to be on this journey with you. Let's continue pressing on toward the goal for the prize of the the upward call of God in Christ Jesus! (Phil 3:14)

SMT Verse #23

2011-03-01T11:37:00.001-06:00

It's our last month of the year-long Scripture Memory challenge. We only have two more verses to hide in our hearts...
not forever =) but for this challenge.

I have chosen to memorize a couple of verses from Ephesians this time around.

"Therefore be careful how you walk,

not as unwise men but as wise, making the most

of your time, because the days are evil. So then

do not be foolish, but understand

what the will of the Lord is."

Ephesians 5:15-17 (NASB)

Let us know what God has placed on your heart to memorize. I'm proud of you!!

2011-02-22T07:08:00.001-06:00

Saturday, March 5th from 6-9pm

Fun and easy to do: pick your piece of pottery, create your design and then paint it. No creative ideas? No problem! There are books full of ideas as well as stamps and stencils that are sure to inspire you. The cost of the evening depends on the piece(s) of pottery you choose to paint.

If you want a child’s handprint/footprint on your design, you will need to go in earlier in the week to get the print on your piece.

Walls of Clay is at a new location but still in downtown McKinney: 211 N. Kentucky.

SMT Verse #22

2011-02-15T10:13:00.000-06:00

It's already the 15th of February. I can't believe how fast this year is already starting to fly by. And our year of memorizing two verses a month is coming to an end next month. We only have two verses left...after we get today's verse into our hearts.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, I've chosen two verses from Jeremiah 10 for my February verses. I worked on verse 23 for the first half and will now focus on verse 24.

²³ I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.
We are not able to plan our own course.
²⁴ So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.
Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.

Jeremiah 10:23-24 (NLT)

Keep up the good work! Let us know what verse you have chosen to memorize by leaving a comment here. It is fun to see where God is leading each of us as we commit to hide His Word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him.

SMT #21

2011-02-01T15:14:00.000-06:00

It's that time again--time to commit another verse to memory. I pray that you are rejoicing inside on this super-cold, icy day. =)

I have chosen two verses for February from Jeremiah 10. I am planning to work on verse 23 for the first part of the month and verse 24 for the second half. If I happen to get them both memorized before the 15th, then SUPER, but I'm not going to rush it and not really get it into my head and into my heart. I've chosen these verses because I often think that I have to be in control of my life. That is sin...I am not in control...God is. So as Jeremiah prayed, I too will pray:

²³ I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own.
We are not able to plan our own course.
²⁴ So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.
Do not correct me in anger, for I would die.

Jeremiah 10:23-24 (NLT)

Let us know what you plan on memorizing over the next couple of weeks. Stay warm!!

SMT #20

2011-01-15T22:01:00.001-06:00

We are in the home stretch ladies...Verse #20! Sorry this is so late posting this time around. I've spent the the last two days celebrating our GINORMOUS God with 11 of my Cornerstone Kidz and a couple hundred other kiddos at Camp Kaotik. What a blast it is to see all that God is doing through this young generation. I get all teary-eyed just thinking about it, so I'll just get down to the business of this post.

The verse I have chosen for the 2nd half of this month comes from Exodus. Moses is leading the Israelites out of Egypt, and they have encountered a huge...or GINORMOUS obstacle...the Red Sea. The words Moses uses to encourage and strengthen God's chosen is one that I can claim no matter the size of the obstacle I am facing. And if you've kept track of the running theme through most of the verses I have memorized, you'll see that once again this has a little something to do with my mouth. =)

"The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent."

Exodus 14:14 (NASB)

Your turn... let us know your verse, reference and Bible version. Can't wait to see what God is teaching you!!

SMT Verse #19

2011-01-01T06:00:00.002-06:00

Happy New Year!!

As we kick off this new year, let us not give up on our commitment to hide God's Word in our hearts! If you are joining us for the first time, have learned a couple of verses or have memorized at least 2 a month since April...let me say this, I am so proud of you for making the decision to commit to memory what God has told us through His Word. You are free to chose the verse that He is laying on your heart depending on where your walk is taking you at this time in your life. What an amazing God we serve! He talks to each of us through His Word...not just as the body of Christ, but individually as His children!

To begin this new year, I have chosen to memorize the following:

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander."
1 Peter 3:15-16 (NIV)

This is my prayer...that I will honor Christ and let Him be LORD of my life...that I will always be ready to give an answer when someone asks me about the hope I have...that I will be kind and respectful in my answers so that my conscience can be clear. I know that I can't control how others react to my words, but I want to know that I speak with the words that God would have me say. I can know these words by knowing His Word. That is my goal for memorizing this year.

What is your verse to begin this new year? Why do you feel that God has placed it on your heart? I can't wait to see what God has in store for us. I love that we are on individual faith journeys, but we are walking side by side, arm in arm as we finish this race. Leave a comment with your verse, reference and version. If you have no idea what the SMT is, click here to view all the previous SMT posts and scroll to the bottom to read the introduction. It is not too late to join the group...because it is never too late to start memorizing the Truth of God's Word.

SMT Verse #18

2010-12-15T14:55:00.000-06:00

It's time once again to commit another verse to memory. Wow ladies...we're on our 18th verse! I've chosen a shorter verse this time because I know that the last half of this month is super-busy, but I also chose this verse because I want to be armed with the Truth. This time of year I feel so many arrows aimed at me...from well-meaning relatives and their inquiries about my life =) ...from the extra stress of all the things that have to get done...from my own insecurities, just to name a few. So I'm taking up my shield of faith to block those incoming arrows and claiming this verse for the holiday season and the rest of my days.

"But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD;

I say 'You are my God.'"

Psalm 31:14 (NASB)

That's all. That's enough. No matter what is said to me or about me...no matter what circumstances I am facing...no matter what my feelings and emotions try to tell me, I know this: He is my God and He is my enough.

Now it's your turn to let us know what verse you are committing to memory for the last part of the year. Share the verse, reference and version in the comment section. I pray that as you continue to add verses to your arsenal, that you find you are better equipped to handle the arrows aimed at you. Stick with it ladies!

Merry Christmas!

SMT Verse #17

2010-12-01T06:42:00.013-06:00

It's the last first day of the month for this year, and we are on our 17th verse! We've entered the time of year that, for most, means more time spent with family. I have had the privilege of growing up around 4 grandparents who love me unconditionally. Though one is now with Jesus, I am still blessed with being able to spend quality time with the other three. And I know without a doubt that one day we will all be praising our Savior around the Throne. I know the legacy of faith that they have given me. I long to be able to leave the same kind of legacy...whether someone has known me a day or my entire life. I want them to be able to say of me what Paul said about Abraham:

"yet, with respect to the promise of God,

he did not waver in unbelief

but grew strong in faith,

giving glory to God, and being fully assured

that what God had promised,

He was able also to perform."

Romans 4:20-21 (NASB)

God has promised never to leave me or forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:6); He has promised that the work He has begun in me, He will complete (Philippians 1:6); He has promised that I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13); He has promised that He will always provide a way out when I am tempted (1 Corinthians 10:13); He has promised to give me wisdom (James 1:5); He was promised me His peace (John 14:27); He has promised to forgive me (1 John 1:9); He has promised that He is preparing a place for me with Him for eternity (John 14:2)...and those are just a few of His promises. In respect to these promises of God, I do not want to waiver in unbelief but grow strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God has promised, He is able also to perform.

Now it is your turn. Leave a comment with your chosen verse(s), reference and version. If you feel like it, let us know why you have chosen this verse to memorize. It is always encouraging to see how God is working in the lives of our sisters in Christ. If you haven't shared your memory verse with us lately...or ever...go ahead and join us now!

Praising Him!

SMT Verse #16

2010-11-15T13:51:00.000-06:00

As we quickly approach the holiday season, I pray that we all remember to keep our commitment to treasure His Word in our hearts. I am thankful for each one of you...whether you've been able to memorize two verses a month or none. I pray that God will give you a longing to know Him more and more.

With Thanksgiving a week away, I wanted to memorize a verse that would remind me...command me...to give thanks no matter the circumstances. I have learned...and continue to learn....that God is in complete control. Whether I perceive the circumstances to be good or bad, I trust in the One who is at work in me. He has promised that He will complete the work He has begun. I already know the ending to my story--eternity with Him. I may not understand all the little twists and turns of my journey to eternity, but I know Who does. And in light of this, I will heed the God-inspired words that Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church.

"Rejoice always; pray without ceasing;

in everything give thanks;

for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB)

I encourage you to choose a verse of thanksgiving this time around. If you've never joined us before, come on! You will not be disappointed as you hide His Word in your heart. Leave a comment with your chosen verse, the reference and the Bible version. If you haven't joined us here in a while, don't let that stop you now...you can hop right back in. Let's continue to work together to memorize the Truth so that we won't fall for the lies that continually bombard us. Now is the time!

SMT Verse #15

2010-11-01T11:03:00.000-05:00

It's a new day...a new month...that means it is time for a new verse. As I look back at the verses I've chosen to memorize over the last 7 months, there are a LOT that have to do with what comes out of my mouth. This one is no exception. =) I can say that I've gotten better about keeping my mouth shut when it needs to be shut, but it is still something that I have to actively work on day by day...sometimes minute by minute. I am so thankful that God is etching these verses into my heart...I long for the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart to be acceptable in His sight because He is my Rock and my Redeemer.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk

come out of your mouths,

but only what is helpful for building others up

according to their needs,

that it may benefit those who listen."

Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)

Now it's your turn. Leave a comment with your verse, reference and version. If you have no idea what the SMT is, go here to read all about it...then join us! It's not too late.

SMT Verse #14

2010-10-15T00:58:00.002-05:00

It's the 15th of October...and that means it is time for our next memory verse! For those of you who have been part of our Scripture Memory Team from the beginning, I am so proud of you. We have committed to memorizing two verses a month. I know that some months have been harder than others...and some verses have been harder than others. I am proud of you for sticking with it!! For those who started, then stopped, and now want to jump back in...WooHoo!!!! Welcome back! If you are just finding out about this, join us! You can read more about it here...and don't worry, it is NEVER too late to start memorizing God's Word.

Here is the verse that I have chosen this time around:

"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."
Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

So many good things in that little verse! I am very aware and grateful that God is working in me. And not only is He giving me the desire to do what pleases Him, He is giving me the power to do it. I can strive and strive to do what I think He wants and fail every time. But when I let go of my stubbornness and self-sufficiency--my PRIDE--He is able pour His grace upon me. Praise the LORD!!

Now it's your turn. Leave a comment with your verse, reference and translation. If you don't know what verse to memorize, feel free to use a verse that one of your sisters has chosen this time around or since we began this journey together. You can go to the top right of this page under 'Labels' and click on the SMT link. It will take you to all the SMT posts. You can read the verses I have chosen or check out the comments to see what others have chosen throughout the last six months. I can't wait to see what God has placed on your heart to memorize!

SMT Verse #12

2010-09-15T12:24:00.001-05:00

Guess what?? With today's verse, we are halfway through our goal of memorizing 24 verses in a year!!! I am so proud of you ladies for sticking with this. And don't worry, if you've fallen behind in your verses or haven't joined us yet, there's no reason you can't start today!!

I'm going to work on refreshing and polishing my previous 11 verses as well as focus on Hosea 10:12 to wrap up September. This new verse is key in our Fall Bible Study called 'Seeking Him' by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. You can go here to read more about the study. We would love to have you join us!!

Anyway, I've chosen this verse because it is the cry of my heart during this season of my life.

"Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until He comes and showers righteousness on you."
Hosea 10:12 (NIV)

My prayer is for my Savior to break up the fallow ground of my hardened heart....to break up the sin I cling to--my pride, my fear, my selfishness, and oh so much more...so that He can plant in me a love and desire for His will. I pray that this will be my cry not just for this season of my life but all the seasons of my life...until He comes and showers righteousness on me.

Come quickly LORD Jesus...until then fill me with the desire to seek You. Be my Comforter and Healer through the breaking of my hardened heart. From the broken pieces, create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me (Psalm 51:10)

Now it is your turn to let us know what verse you will be committing to memory this last half of September. I look forward to seeing where God is leading each one of you. If this is your first time joining our Scripture Memory Team, just click on "comment" below and type in the verse, reference and Bible version that you have chosen. If you don't know what verse to memorize, feel free to choose one that someone else is memorizing. You can also click on 'SMT' under the Labels section at the top right of this page. There you will be able to see the verses that I have chosen as well as read the comments to see what the other ladies have chosen to memorize throughout this journey that we are on. God promised us in Isaiah 55:11 that His Word will not return to Him empty, but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it. What a promise!! And what a turn your life...and your view of your life...can take when you take Him at His Word and meditate on His Word!!

Praying for you, my sweet sisters!

Fall Bible Study--Seeking Him

2010-09-09T14:19:00.001-05:00

"Are you tired of trying to be a good Christian? Are you overloaded and worn out with church activities? Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions of the Christian life? Do you often find yourself running on empty spiritually? Do you experience heaviness or shame more than joy and freedom in your Christian life? If you answered YES to any of these questions, then perhaps God is calling you to something deeper. Maybe you're ready to experience personal revival!"

This is the introduction written by Nancy Leigh DeMoss in the book we'll be studying from for this Fall's Ladies' Bible Study - "Seeking Him: Experiencing the Joy of Personal Revival." Please come join us!
