Week one was tough! I hope you had a chance to see my struggles in the video I uploaded. My daughter who’s been helping me has already memorized several verses and she didn’t even sign on to do this!

I thought I’d share my Memory Cards today and show how my mind works. Last week I posted a few cards. Here they are again.

Ephesians 1:1

On day 4, I realized that I was not saying the verse number or address. Now, it’s a part of the verse.

Ephesians 1:2

The numbers rhyme on verses 2 & 3:

“One-two, Grace to you…” that’s a Hershey kiss for chocolate, which equals grace to me (part of my testimony).

“One-three, Blessed be…” I also circle/box words that are duplicates. I’ve been circling the word “in” because it keeps tripping me up!

Ephesians 1:4

Verse four was more confusing- no rhymes, so I used the first word “even” that has 4 letters & is even. There are also 2 “BEFORE “ in it (reminded me of “four”).

Ephesians 1:5

I had to be more creative with verse 5. The last line for me in pictures is “accordion “ to the “porpoise” (that’s supposed to be a dolphin & not a banana with a tail, per my daughter) of His “will.”

Ephesians 1:6

More of the same… nothing to rhyme with “one-six.”

Ephesians 1:7

Got to use color for this one! Another accordion and not much to rhyme with “one-seven.” Boo hoo!

Ephesians 1:8

Only thing I could come up with today was that the word “lavished” has 8 words…

Hope this helps a bit! I’m finding that reading the verse aloud 10 times and then closing my eyes to repeat it 10 times is working. The pictures help me to get a visual reminder. Also, I’m repeating all verses up to date in the morning before I get out of bed, and at night.

Even when you don’t feel like it, push through and focus on the discipline of doing this! That’s what I’m saying to myself!
