5 Easy Ways To Memorize Scripture
Ally Rogers

As believers we are called to share the good news of Christ with those around us, but what do you say when that time comes to share the gospel? We need to be armed with scripture to spread this news. Although it may be tricky to know scripture, there are many ways to put these words to memory.

1. Write it down on your hand.

This is my favorite way to to put scripture to memory. If I come across a verse that I love, I will write down the first letter of each word on my hand so that every time I look at my watch or fiddle with my hands, I will see that verse. Just writing down the first letter to each word could also be a quizzing technique because you are not seeing the full verse!

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." -Philippians 3:20


2. Sticky notes on your laptop.

Many people place sticky notes on their laptop to remember to study for that big test or to remind them to be at that job interview at 4:00. Why not use the same tool to help memorize scripture? Write your verse on a sticky note, put it on your laptop, and be reminded daily. Don't have a sticky note? Use a small piece of paper and tape! (Also, many computers have a sticky note program built in!)


3. Set a picture of the scripture as your phone's background.

This is so helpful and also extremely cute. I am a huge Pinterest fan, and I am constantly pinning cute pictures of verses from the Bible. Why not go the extra mile, save that picture, and set it as the background to your phone? (You can also find these pictures on Google!)


4. Carry a note card with the verse on it in your purse, wallet, or backpack.

I have totally done this before, and it is not as pointless as it seems! Whenever I had a time when I was doing nothing in a class or waiting on time to pass by when I was out and about, I would go to my wallet and pull out the card. I would read it a few times, try to say it without looking, made sure I knew it, and then put it away- that simple!


5. Stay in the word.

The easiest one! Just by reading scripture and staying in my Bible, I have learned to remember what I have read and share that with others!

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
