March and April Memory Verses

by gidget faith

I’m still working on my memory verses with Beth Moore’s blog community at the Living Proof Ministries blog! Chiquita always asks me to read my verses and then still throws in an enthusiastic “Amen!” when I’m done (or when I’m halfway through- whenever inspiration strikes her really).
