New Year! Same me...but making new choices

Don't panic. I'm with you.
   There's no need to fear for I'm your God.
I'll give you strength. I'll help you.
   I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.


The above scripture verse is from Isaiah 41:10 taken from The Message.

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
   do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
   I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

(from NIV - for comparison)

This year I plan to follow along with Beth Moore's siestas Scripture memory group.  We have made the commitment to memorize 24 scripture passages in the year 2011.  How exciting to look forward to the ways God will work in making changes in my heart for a new season! May these changes help to form me into the person God has created me to be.  So many people in this world will try to make you think otherwise.  A good friend and mentor once said to me, "Don't listen to the voices that say 'you don't measure up'... but listen to the voice that says 'you can.' "

I have committed to memorize this verse and will carry it with me for the next 14 days.  If you would like to be a part of this, here is the web-link:  http://blog.lproof.org/2011/01/2011-siesta-scripture-memory-team-verse-1.html/comment-page-77#comment-153086
