... and now the joyous work pays off.... and more to come

Thanks for your support.

👏👏🎉👍

Truly, something to celebrate.

Thanks, its getting really hard to remember now! Appreciate this encouragement 😁

Don't worry, you'll get there :) As mentioned before, I use a second account, Phinehas, to practice my problem verses.

I also use the Practice feature here on learnscripture (click on the star at the top right where if you hover over it, it says "Progress". There you can practice any verse or any passage which is not actually due for review at the moment. You have to find the particular verse and then click on the bar at the far right, to the right of the stars which rate the verse's progress.

Of course, it's helpful also to have an idea of which verses are the weaker. To do that I maintain a separate list on a Google Sheet. Using that Sheet I assign myself the task of when I should practice a particular passage. If a passage is going to be due two months from now, then I practice it one month from now.

Great comments J/P. I too like the Practice feature. I go old school and print out the passage or Psalms on cardstock. At the top write (in pencil) date tested -- percent learned and when tested again. Then shuffle the papers. I like the paper because I am not attached to the screen. I can take outside or carry it with me. In the beginning I did a lot of individual verses. those are on index cards. eh gads. Those are the hardest for me- it's the number thing!

I like your comment mrsmoo. I'd like to go more old school. I'll give that some thought :)

forgot to add that the index cards go into a card file box which has month sorters- i do not write on them--- WAY TOO MANY of those. Guess I am showing my age. haha. It's the way I was taught. now there is an index card app. or so i am told. i still have a flip phone.

good ideas :)

I also forgot to add, speaking them out loud as you practice or review them ... whether on index cards or the practice screen here or whereever ... helps to reinforce memory.

Thank you for some great ideas... it does seem to be some verses in particular that won't stick. I was wondering about beginning to write some down, my weakest ones, to take in my pocket. Onward and upward!

amen

embarrassed to confess this, but i often forget to PRAY and give thanks for hiding these words in my heart AND bringing them to my mouth. But i rejoice in the journey and let go of the quest for a higher ACE badge. In case I forget to say... I appreciate y'all and love to see your names appear.... till we meet.... soon and very soon.

Thank you for sharing that, mrsmoo. I've had that experience too, most definitely. Our Lord is gracious and forgiving to those who humble themselves before Him.

Amen... this community is wonderful, I was telling my church family tonight how you've kept me going this last year. Very blessed by the scripture and the people.
