Anybody else remember the Carol Burnett show? That was some funny tv....
But I'm not here today to talk about vintage television variety shows (Sonny and Cher, Donny and Marie - yes, I was a child of 70's tv). This is our FINAL Scripture memory post of 2010. I've enjoyed this little blogging journey with you all; thanks for hanging in there with me. Back by popular demand, on January 1st, Beth Moore will be starting up the Siesta Scripture Memory Team on her blog (woohoo!). If you are interested in continuing to memorize the Word, and like a little accountability (and who doesn't need that?), you can read about it here.
It's been a good year. I haven't accomplished all I hoped to, but there's been some needed peace and joy this year. God is so good. Better than He has to be, as our BFF Beth often says.
My final verse from last year, 2009, was Psalm 126:5-6 NIV, "Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him." There is a load of promise in that verse. I wept a lot in 2009, and needed to prophetically declare that joy was coming.
So here's my final verse for 2010.
Psalm 30: 11-12, NIV, "You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give You thanks forever."
Only He can turn seed to sheaves, sackcloth to joy, wailing to dancing.... Declare it over yourselves today. And, while you're at it, have a Merry Christmas.
Much love to you all,
Andrea

You look mahvelous, dahling....and Dec.1st verse (No. 23)
But you feel like crud. It's legit...you've got a cold. Something you ate didn't agree with you. PMS...ugh.
Or, maybe you had a rough day. Someone hurt you. Or, even worse, someone hurt you on purpose. Ick.
You look marvelous; you just don't feel it.
But what's really rotten is when you don't feel marvelous because you messed up. You were rotten and lousy, and it was all you, babe. There is no one else to blame it on.
Bring on the uglies. The "you always", "you messed up", "you're such a loser", the "when will you ever learn?".
I'm so glad God doesn't say those things to us. He says, "You had a less-than-marvelous moment, which is so unlike you, for you look marvelous". (But without the Billy-Crystal-as-Nando-accent.)
I don't know if you needed to be reminded of that today, but HE thinks you're marvelous. As a matter of fact, you're the apple of His eye. His favorite, even!
Psalm 30:8-10, NIV
To You, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."
Have a great week everyone; I'll "see" you on the 15th.
