REALly Letting The Word Dwell Within Me

For the past 11 years I have been trying to be a REAL New Creation in Christ and I have discovered the only way I can truly do that is by learning the Word of God.  About 8 years ago I attended a women's conference that would beging my journey through the Scriptures with sisters.   

Whlie driving home we talked about our desire to keep the fire burning that had been lit at the conference and that resulted in the commitment to memorizing weekly Scriptures together which we called Well-Versed Women.  At the time we all lived in the same area and attended the same church so it was "easy" to encourage one another & hold each other accountable as we would mee in the church kitchen to say the verse together and give the next verse to be memorized to each person on an index card.  But, it wasn't just a memorization group.  We would share how the verse spoke to us personally, how we were able to personally apply it to our lives and even share it with others through our professions and daily walks of life.

Unfortunately, a move took me to the Indianapolis area and our weekly routine came to an end.  Moving stopped our weekly Word moving but that didn't stop the Word from moving.  You see, I began a little group on facebook called SIS Sisters in Scriptures for about 5 of my friends to use and begin focusing on a weekly Scripture together.  Don't ask me how or when but before I knew it, the group was growing larger and moving beyond the United States.  

Four weeks ago I felt the nudge to REALly step it up and ask others to join me in ending 2011 with an 8 Week Real Scripture Challenge.  The facebook challenge can be found at

but you don't have to be a facebooker to be a part of it.  You can also join in the remaining 4 weeks of the challenge by signing up to receive it via email at the Get REAL inC homepage on the right hand side below the flamingo.  http://www.getrealinc.org/

On the SIS page of my blog I will begin to share how I am learing, loving, and living the Word of the Week.  Feel free to drop in and share your thoughts and insights too because it isn't about me.  It is about WE & HE!  So, won't you join me to fix our eyes upon Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith?
