BY She Reads Truth
Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
This week we will memorize John 1:2. In this verse John reaffirms that Jesus is God by proclaiming that He has always existed. His life did not begin at His birth on earth, but instead He has always been present as God, even at creation.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.
—John 1:1–5

Prayers! My family and I have gone through it. We had what we call COVID kits from frontline doctors that has medicine, antibiotics, etc. Best thing you can do, is trust in God and do not panic. There is no need to go to any hospital unless you’re struggling to breathe. If you can breathe just fine, then stay home and rest.

Traci Gendron I totally agree with you about talking about memories of those who have past. I’ve found the younger they were when they past away the hard it is for people to talk about them. My family and friends, especially family, have no problem talking about my parents who have past away but when I start to talk about my son and some of my memories of him they hesitate. I enjoy talking about him. I loved him and want to keep his memory alive. So Traci and Tina and all you others who have lost someone at a young age and people hesitate to talk about them, go ahead and keep their memory alive. George was a vibrant young boy who loved life and God and Christ.

Sisters prayers are needed my way. I found out yesterday while working that Finley, the little girl I care for, is positive for COVID. So what I’ve been thinking are persistent allergy symptoms may in fact be in part something else. Finley’s mom, Monica has had a cough also that she can’t get rid of. Finley’s dad, Chad and sister, Kyla, so far are asymptomatic. Thank you for all the prayers you do send out.
Sisters be blessed and stay strong. -
Praying for you, Christy!

I am currently battling chronic Lyme disease, and this has been the darkest and hardest time of my life. I am thankful for this study and for these verses as a reminder of how powerful the Lord is and that He goes before us and is in our past, present, and future. I truly believe he brings light into even the darkest and seemingly hopeless situations.

MARTHA, I have been doing EMDR and find it very helpful. May it be a balm to your soul and help you restore all the broken places. Recovering from PTSD myself, I have to remember that the Lord is the one who heals and he can use a variety of methods. We don’t have to fear being forgotten or choosing the right path(not that you stated that fear…I’m just speaking from my experience and hope it’s helpful)

Churchmouse thanks for pointing that out I was just wondering why the repetition in verses 1 and 2! I wonder if Jesus was always plan A why did He even bother with the tree on the Garden of Eden? Just a thought. Martha Hix so glad to see your name here and that EMDR is working for you.

Also, I have memorized this passage in John many times, so I am committing it to memory in Spanish (my second language). Learning Scripture in another language really broadens your perspective on it and also helps you understand the difficulties translators face and how much our understanding of Scripture is affected by our language and culture.
