Last year I made a Resolution to memorize 100 verses in the year... unfortunately I let life get the best of me and I fell short... I only have 63 cards in my box of verses... though if you count how many verses are on each card I may have hit my goal...

Regardless of the outcome, whether I achieved my goal or not... I am so proud to have gotten to know my Bible better. I had such a great time memorizing, studying, I fell in love with the Bible all over again...

This year I thought about making a more achievable goal... 52 verses... 1 for every week in the year. But you know I think I've changed my mind... I'm aiming for 100 again this year. and I'll probably aim for 100 again for several years until I succeed... There's no sense in lowering the bar... Set the standard you want to achieve.

God doesn't ask us to be perfect... But He does ask that don't settle for average... He made us better than that. It's ok to fall short, it's ok to make mistakes. But if we let those mistakes dictate where we set our goals, we'll never be who we want to be.

The soul of the sluggard desires and has nothing.

But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich

Proverbs 13:4
