I'm not very good at memorizing.
At least that's what I tell myself when I am not working on memorizing Bible verses or poetry or creeds or speeches. I tell myself I am not very good at memorizing, and then I don't feel so bad for not trying.
But if I try, I'm actually not so bad at memorizing. The truth is, I'm actually just lazy.
So when Ann posted her annual Mega Memory Month challenge, I decided to give it a try. But what to memorize?
When I heard someone quote a verse from Psalm 18 over the weekend, a Psalm I have returned to over and over in the past few years, I knew this had to be my goal.
So, over the next 29 days (I'm two days behind already!), I will memorize all 50 verses of Psalm 18.
But I also want to live them and breathe them; I want to live a Psalm 18 life over the next 30 days and beyond.
What are you hiding in your heart and meditating on? What are you seeking to live?

I just looked up Psalm 18, and saw verse after verse that I've heard or read on its own--it's so neat to see them in context, which is how you will be taking them in this month.
Just two days ago, I was leaving a comment for a fellow MMM participant, and I alluded to this verse with regard to our mega-memory undertakings: "with my God I can scale a wall." With my God, I can memorize John 15 or Psalm 18.
Enjoy this rich (and long!) psalm this month, Charity. I'm so glad you're joining me on this journey. I am remaining in the true vine as I tackle John 15. :)
