Going Back to Memorization on Jan 2021

-

25 Jan 2021 

For exactly one year now, I hold my memorization goals, you might ask WHY? I tried to do an Online business at end of 2019 in the hope that I would be just working at home if I would succeed. My prayer request is to be able to quit my full time job at age of 40 so I won't need to go to office. However, the ways of the Lord is higher, because of the Pandemic, I was allowed to work from home exactly at age 40 for almost 100%. That's why before the year 2020 ends, I quit the Online business, my motivation was just not there. 

I am so grateful that I now had more time being at home. That's why naturally I returned to my quest to memorize the New Testament. This time, I'd like a slow but sure way. If memorizing 5 verses needs 5 years, and it seem difficult to keep up in some days, then I'll do smaller - 3 verses a day so that needs about 7 years, but considering I had memorized 20% before it shouldn't take that long "IF I WON'T STOP".

My technique now is to re-memorize the old ones while memorizing 3 verses of a new book. I started on Jan 16 and for 7 days, I am able to recall James even though for almost a year I did not review it. I would need to recite this for a week daily then I will put it into a weekly schedule then monthly. Also my new book is 2 Peter and thanks God, my current status now is 2:7. Praying each day that God provides me the daily strength and motivation to push through.

Memorizing Plan for the Book of Romans (Progress of John and NT Reading Times)

Oct 9, 2019 I’m on the last chapter of Gospel of John already as below schedule and planning for my next book already. You've notice I gave a lot of grace to myself on my schedule. Two days ago I haven't reviewed any old book and then yesterday I memorized 1 verse only as I am not feeling so well, so I take a day off from work today and I just changed the plan that suites me.  Here I am after feeling quite well rested in the Lord's help, planning for my next book already, this is one of a critical part which I already got the hang of it and loving this stage, like a kick-off. I thank the Lord for giving me the motivation I need although I still couldn't find a partner to memorize with, if you know anyone please contact me (catleyad15@gmail.com), even you're in the other side of the world! I’ve chosen Romans because I’ve read a few Christian blogs that they have memorized this book too and found so much insight. This is more known as the Gospel acco

I was inspired from a post "You Can Memorize the New Testament" . Thus I created my initial ideal plan 5 year plan , which I posted on Dec 2015. However, I have a two year hiatus from 2017-2018 which I consider also a blessing for I know how was my life when I stopped this activity, then I have now revised my 5-year goal, in God's will and His grace. I've re-memorized my 8 books and Romans 8 from January to October 2019, in this image below at date of writing I am working on Romans. I'm praying for the Lord's strength to complete by end of 2023 and I am open to revise no matter what helps to complete this in God's grace. This excel file below has formulas and also has 2 days break or interval between books like a grace period, then I usually change 'Plan start date' depends if the 'Actual End Date' of the last book was different than planned. This time I have some brothers and sisters who are memorizing too thus I look forward it is g

My Memorization Method and Schedule - Gospel of John on Final Month

-
Image
Note that this is one of the series posts I created and summary is in Memorizing Methods page.   2-Oct-2019  My memorization method is almost similar to Andew Davis link here  but I modified it by not memorizing the references. I did write before this in this link when I first tried to memorize John though now I don't follow religiously the steps like 10 times reciting, I use lesser effort since I notice I became better on this as years goes by.  To give the insight above is my enhanced format of my daily memorization, currently on Gospel of John. To refresh, my method is daily 6 verses (just happens I am re-memorizing John that is why sometimes I put more verses on some days). I always remind myself the benefits I am reaping , and it naturally makes it easier for me to follow my schedules. Sometimes I would also get motivations from blogs of those who also memorize. Columns from Left to Right: A -  Date of the month, ex. 1st Oct, B -  Day of the week, M
