Hello dear friend 🙂
My 2017 Top 9
Happy New Year! How I have missed you! I wish we could share a cup of coffee and you could fill me in on your 2017—the good, the bad, the character-building parts.
{Until then, maybe you could leave a comment with the one word that best describes your 2017.}
We have much to catch up on!
Soon I’ll sit and share with you what God has been teaching me.
2017 was a year filled with highs, lows, and lots of “only God” moments sprinkled in between. I’m still processing all that God taught me last year.
But this I know…I’m ready for 2018!
I’ve been on vacation the past two weeks {woot! woot!} and have spent a lot of time creating a plan for a victorious, power-filled 2018.
If you know me well, it won’t surprise you to hear that involves lots of Scripture Memory work.
And this year I’ve prayerfully decided to memorize all of 1 John.
Want to join me? Please?
Here are some ways I’d love to help you (and have you help me too.)
- I broke down 1 John into 52 parts, and created a calendar to keep track of the new memory verse(s). You can see/download the non-fancy 52 week schedule here: 1 John Memorization 2018.
- If you’d like a pretty copy that will help you get through our first four months, you can download it here: 1 John 2018 1 of 3.
- If you’d like a desktop screen saver of 1 John 1:1-4 (January verses) you can download below.
- If you give me your e-mail and/or cell phone number, I promise to personally email or text you once a month to see how you are doing. Send me a message to cindy@cindybultema.com.
- We can also have a check in on my FB Ministry page to encourage one another. (I need you to hold me accountable too!) Make sure we are connected here please. 🙂
Y’all know how passionate I am about memorizing Scripture. I’m not kidding – my life has been TRANSFORMED because my mind has been TRANSFORMED – and that has come by renewing my mind with His Word. If you are struggling with areas of defeat, discouragement, or just feeling “stuck” – God’s Word works, I promise!
Please give Scripture Memory a try, won’t you?
Don’t forget to leave me a comment with your “one word” from 2017. And please know I’m praying for you today, dear friend. May God fill this next year with oodles of His joy, hope, faith, strength, and power. You are so dearly loved!
In Him,
P.S. I’m opening up my Coaching Calls with Cindy for 2018 in a very limited capacity. I miss cheering speakers and writers on! Due to my new role at GEMS Girls’ Clubs (which I love by the way—yay God!), I am only able to take on 3 coaching clients at a time. If you’d like to learn more, please email my assistant Autee at autumn@cindybultema.com. I’d love to help pray for, encourage, and come alongside you as you step into all that God has for you, friend!
Perfect timing, Cindy! I decided to memorize 1 John too. I am doing a Proverbs 31 Online Book Study soon on this book of the Bible so I thought I would memorize it. Thanks and yes, let’s be transformed by His Word! The printable is exactly what I needed.
This post is perfect timing for me and the ministry i lead as well!
Reaching out to Autee for coaching also!
Thanks Cindy!
Hey, so I’ve decided to memorize 1John for 2019, and your blog was first to show up on Google.
I’m using your reading plan and wondering, did you manage to memorize 1John in 2018?
If so, do you have tips for someone like me with horrible memory?
I also worry that by week 52 I won’t remember week 1, how do you review as you progress through memorization?
Thanks and God bless.
I was able to memorize most of it. I do not have a great memory either. My biggest tips…pray and ask God to help you, find a partner, & practice, practice, practice! God’s richest blessings to you too!
