So I hate memorizing stuff...but it has been such a huge part of this week for me. I remember memorizing Bible verses for Sunday School and even memorizing different things for school and I would always do it but then let myself forget whatever it was after I recited it or got a grade for it. Recently I heard that memorization is the best way to learn something by repeating it over and over again. I always feel such a lack of knowledge when it comes to the Word of God and have beat myself up about it because its not because I'm not reading it...but I haven't been storing it in my heart in the right way. Charles Kaye really challenged me one week when he asked us what we have been memorizing...and my response was somewhat like "why would I be doing that...because for some reason I always imagine little kids memorizing verses". Anyway it really convicted me and showed me how powerful it can be to just pull those treasures out when you need them without having to carry your Bible around everywhere with you.J So I started memorizing a few verses this week in Acts and have just been sitting on them all week thinking about the fullness of their meanings as well as I understand it. It was kind of ironic on Wednesday because Yener told me that as a leader in Young Life I was going to need to memorize all of the books of the Bible in Spanish this week. So far I have the Old Testament down but am still working on the New Testament. I didn't really see a point for doing this until I started doing it and have had a pretty good time because I'm a lot faster now at finding stuff because now I know what book comes after what.
