The Challenge

So you all by now know how much I love Anthem Lights and how on fire they are for God! Nathan and I are going to their concert in May, they are opening for the Newsboys and I am really excited for it.
Well one of the band members in Anthem Lights posted that he was starting a Facebook page for other believers that wanted to start memorizing bible verses and its called The Challenge (you can watch the video below). I am so excited to be doing this because not only is it something I need right now but we are starting in the book of James! The first verse is one that I always need to remember but especially now..James 1:1-2 James, a servant of God the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings Consider the pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds. That is so cool that Gods word can speak to me in such a way that it feels like he is wrapping his arms around me. Unlike Nathan and his family I did not grow up learning bible verses and ways to help me store them in my heart so when I need them they just flow out. So I am taking on this awesome challenge to store Gods word in my heart. The even cooler thing is that not only is this helping me but if you go on The Challenge++ Facebook or twitter page you will see the hundreds that are also being challenged by this and if I could show you the number of texts and emails I have just received from friends and family that read my post yesterday and are joining in too! God really is amazing!! So Happy Memorizing :)
