In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

My little helper!

So I mentioned that I would post a photo of my Scripture memorization "helper" that I've pulled into duty this week! Here it is:

This is a dry erase magnetized tile that is on my refrigerator. I picked it up at a local Craft Market several years ago and I just love it...especially the Scripture verse - one of my favorites!

This week, it's been pulled into my tool belt, if you will! How many times a day do YOU go to your refrigerator? I'm at mine a number of times as I get refills of my iced green tea and every time I'm there, I see this week's verse...and even better - I was able to write it out by memory! VICTORY!

How are YOU doing with this week's verse? How about last week's verse? Still repeating it? What tips do you have as we continue to add verses each week? I'd love to hear them, so please share!

Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
Acts 16:31

Dawn said...: So far so good, but it will get much more challenging as we go along! I haven't worked my brain like this in awhile.

I'm playing catch-up once again! I can't seem to get the old brain working well for writing either these days! I finally got some thoughts down, though they're like my mind these days - a bit discombubalated (sp?).; January 19, 2012 at 10:47 PM
Gigi said...: You're absolutely right, Dawn, it will!! But that's why it's even MORE important for me to get my arsenal of tips prepared!! And even though last week's verse was an easy one for me, I'm repeating it over and over still, along with this week's verse. They have to be firmly CEMENTED by the time week 3 rolls around!!; January 19, 2012 at 11:56 PM
Dawn said...: I wanted to let you know that Kev and Angie's bull terrior has been diagnosed with diabetes - it's costing them lots of money that they can't afford, but she is their "child" you know!; January 26, 2012 at 10:22 PM
Gigi said...: Oh Dawn...I am so sorry to hear that. :(

I can certainly understand them doing what they need to do to take care of her. Nobody gets that more than me! I will definitely keep them in my prayers. Please give them my best!; January 26, 2012 at 10:58 PM

Job well done, my friend!!

Much love

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
