Crystal,
I was wondering if you are planning to memorize another book of the Bible this year. About a year ago, I decided to memorize a book of the Bible for 2012. I had planned on doing Philippians (as I had memorized most of it back in 1980, when I was in 9th grade). Anyway, after I saw you were memorizing Colossians, I decided to do it, too. I’ve completed it and am reviewing now.
I’m trying to decide what to memorize this next year. Are you planning to do a book, or do you know of any program listed online like Colossians was this past year? Thanks for any suggestions. I always enjoy seeing your goals and what you’ve accomplished.

I’d love to hear what you think about The Circle Maker. I just read it and couldn’t put it down, so I’m studying through it again. It has rocked my world!
Victoria says
I can’t wait until you can tell us what you are writing.

I always love to see how well (or not so well) you’ve done with your goals Crystal – it reminds me both how good goal-setting is in organising my day/week … and reminds me that the world won’t fall apart if I don’t in fact successfully cross everything off my list *that* week. Though I did join in a few weeks this year, I am hoping to properly join in with posting my goals each week, come 2013. I would love to be able to feel like I’ve actually achieved some things when the end of the year rolls around, rather than wondering where time went! … Thankyou for putting this linky up each week – I hope you are planning to continue this through the coming year!!
Crystal says
I’m excited to have you joining us regularly in 2013. And thanks so much for your kind encouragement!
Shelly says
I am glad to hear you almost have Kaitlynn’s scarf done. Looks like you were able to accomplish a lot this past week.
I had a busy week and it just flew by. I was able to get most but not all of my goals done. I am just happy that this week will be a little less crazy for us. But we will be doing a lot of baking so the house will smell great. 🙂
