"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 (KJV)

I am so excited that, thus far, I am doing well with my memory verses! I know, I know its only one verse and its a fairly easy one at that! BUT I have memorized it and I am excited about starting February verse!

I am using a portion of a book program that Donald had to use when he was in his first year here and had to take a class called Spiritual Formation. I am memorizing the verses from the section called "Be Christ's Disciple" and coincidentally enough there are 12 verses in this section and so I will be memorizing all twelve of them! (Well, that's the plan!)

I have decided to memorize all of the verses in King James Version (KJV) because I've been told that its easier to memorize using this version because there are so many "thees and thous" and you really have to think about each word. 

Life in general...
Last night was the first Metochai meeting of the semester and it was a great time! I love getting together with all of those ladies- its always a great time of worship, Bible study and fellowship!

The weather for the past few days has been absolutely gorgeous! It's kind of chilly in the morning, but by 10 or 11am the sun is shinning! We've gotten into the upper sixties and lower seventies! But there is a cold front coming on Monday-Wednesday and with that they are calling for a chance of a "Wintry Mix", which here in Texas means- close everything and stay in your house!

School is underway, but it hasn't gotten too crazy, yet. I am so blessed to have Donald for a husband! Even though he goes to work and school, most days when I come home from work and he has done the dishes or vacuumed the living room, which is so nice because usually that means we get more time together in the evening.  Thank you sweet hubby!!

In two weeks I will be taking the other test that I need for my Texas teaching certificate.  I need to buckle down and start studying! After I pass this test I will pay to get my certificate and I will be a certified teacher in Texas! BUT I will taking another test- I really need to be ESL certified because that is such a big deal here and most schools won't even look at you unless you are. Please pray for me as I prepare for both of these tests and look forward to finding a teaching job (hopefully)!

We are looking forward to going to have dinner with some friends from church this evening! It should be a great time of fellowship!

"And he said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Luke 9:23 (KJV)
