Life happened like you would never believe.
That is the best excuse I can think of to explain why I hardly looked at my prompts, and why my Mega Memory work is all muddled in my head. When things have deteriorated to the point where I am being assisted by a toddler at every turn... you know it is really bad.
(I should have signed him up)
All things considered, I shall refrain from distressing anyone with my very colourful over-corrected transcript, while I pledge to do better before the month is all over.

Sounds like you and I are on the same track--the sad progress report. However. I have hope! As I mentioned to Dea, I know that we have the mind of Christ. And the Holy Spirit. So by His grace and in His power, this should be possible, to bring Him glory. It won't be to celebrate my own personal genius anyway. So if I fail, then I receive His grace and love and can assure others of it. If I succeed, because I'm doing so poorly, I know that it was through/by/in Him, and can assure others of that, too. There will be no question of divine assistance if I manage to retain anything in the remaining weeks!
I don't know if this is an encouragement or not--at the very least I can relate!
I have been duly encouraged, Ann. :D Thank you!
Hang in there, Ruth. Seasons change, and God knows that.
As Ann said in her comment, it's all for Him, by Him, and through Him, anyway. So when it works, it's for His glory, and when it doesn't go the way we expected, that, too, is for His glory. But truly, Ann said it more beautifully than I am!
Hi Ruth. I have experience the same things previously and certain times of the month really made a difference to my brain. I just can't seem to focus my brain in on anything, I'm "scatty" as my husband likes to tell me. I think, now that I wrote this here to you, that God used the time... to make me aware of this problem of being unable to stay on track to show me that I could train myself (with His help) to overcome by putting things in place that would help me. (There were a number of areas 'O)- a wink) I also think that by "forcing" my brain to memorise no matter how slowly (took me more than a week to learn 1 verse at one stage) and God blessed that by teaching me that I CAN and should continue on in what I know is the right path... memorisation is hard (for me and others) but it is GOOD!!!
May you be buoyed up and blessed in this coming week of memorisation even if it is "only" one verse... or half of one. We have eternity "O)
So sorry this has turned into a thesis "O(
And a lovely comforting thesis it was too, Pauline. ;)
hang in there, that is what happened to me last time I tried to participate with this memory challenge...
God is honored mightily by our services to Him...whatever He orders for the day, may we be allowed to embrace them joyfully!
