In our Hearts

"He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers."

Psalm 1:3

The whole family was involved with Vacation Bible School last week and it was such a busy week that i really didn't get the chance to share the progress Rachel and i made in memorizing Psalm 1.

Well, we did it! All of Psalm 1 is hidden in both of our hearts.

I am thinking about buying Rachel a journal to write our Scriptures in. I have one of my own and it helps me to memorize so we will see how it works for her.

Another thing that helps me when memorizing Scripture is visualization. For example, in Psalm 1, verse 3 really stands out in my mind. I can just see the tree and the streams of flowing water. I have done a rough sketch on paper to get the picture i want to eventually paint. For my post today i tried to find a photograph in my own collection to use in illustrating the verse but i could find nothing. This gives me a sense of urgency in making a painting the picture in my head. I hope to have something soon to share here.

So what is next for Rachel and me? It looks like we are staying in the book of Psalms. This time it will be Psalm 23, another passage that is rich with imagery!

Please keep in touch and join us as we hide God's Word in our hearts!
