Scripture Memory

As most of you know, I love love love Beth Moore. I love following her blog and I love how she helps me understand the Bible. She is all about some scripture memory, which is something that I want to be all about as well. On her blog  for the new year, she has helped start a system to help us memorize 2 scriptures per month. You are supposed to get a notebook and write a scripture down on the first and fifteenth of the month to think on and memorize for the month. Another great addition that she has added is a "notebook" for scripture memory for the IPad or IPhone. If you have one of those devices, check out her blog here:

There you can download the app and watch the video tutorial for how to add your scriptures and start memorizing. I have started the process a little late...just downloaded the app, though, and late is better than never :) So here is my first verse for the month of January,

1 John 3:18-20
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything."

I want to memorize and think of this verse to remember to love people with my actions. So many patients  and people I come into contact with daily need a dose of true, real, Godly love and I want to love them with God's love that flows from Him. I hope that by memorizing this verse, those thoughts will stay near my heart and I will love others well. Also, such a great reminder in this verse that the Lord is much bigger than my thoughts and fears and He knows them all....such a peaceful and awesome truth.

If you want to join the fun, post your memory verse here, or write it down somewhere and start the process of memorizing Scripture with me!!!

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a

Reflections

I am currently about to be done with my last class ever in PA school. That fact combined with the fact that I have to turn in my computer in about an hour has inspired me to blog! I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is almost done. As I look back over my life, I think of the many things that I have done and sacrificed to prepare for this moment. High school and working hard to make the best grades possible and be involved so that I could achieve something and do something with my life. College and majoring in Biology so that I could go into the health care field. Figuring out that I wanted to go to PA school and my course changing. I ended up having to take about 36 extra hours on top of biology courses just to get the pre-reqs I needed for PA school. I remember back to the application process and attempting to make sure everything was in order. Then I was devastated when I did not get into PA school that first time. I began a job after we got married at the Heart Center to
