Here goes. I’d better say it quick – before I back out. Two weeks ago I promised to share my plan for change in 2016. So here it is. Not just one thing, but two:

1. Memorize 1 verse of scripture per week.
2. Spend at least an hour per week de-cluttering our basement.

I would say naming my goal for 2016 was like ripping off a Band-Aid, but I’ve been praying about this since early November. The Band Aid won’t get yanked off until I click “Publish.” That will hurt a little, but I’m counting on feeling some relief when it’s done.

The basement de-cluttering is probably self-explanatory, but I might need to post pictures to keep myself accountable.

The scripture memorization is something I tried a few years ago – and quit after only a couple of weeks. It’s a “Here I Go Again” sort of resolution, except this time I have you to hold me accountable.

I’ll be sharing my verse of the week with you. Some will be short and some will be a bit of a challenge. Some will be newly memorized and some will be re-memorized, if there is such a thing. Pray for me.

I have a lot of scripture floating in my head. Much of it from my early years, and God was right when he said, it wouldn’t “return void.” But where is that written? I couldn’t tell you without using a concordance – or Google.

For this coming week: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (NKJV)

Tomorrow: I’ll get the Christmas decorations put away, and throw away some of the “stuff” I won’t use next year or in the near future.
