Memory Through the Middle

OK Sarah and Susan did a fun thing that I thought I'd try it, although slightly different.

First I must list one fact that is somehow relevant to my life for each letter of my middle name. This is something that I decided to modify slightly, to make it something that I will use daily.

So my middle name is Amy. My mother gave me this as a middle name because it means the same thing as my dad's name did~beloved. Dad's name was David.



A- Awe . Psalm 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: I love this verse and I will memorize it using the middle name method! MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

M-Mightier. Psalm 93:4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters. Memorization will be so easy! MY GOD IS MIGHTIER!

Y- Years Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Years are yesterday!! MY GOD IS TIMELESS!

As I wrote this I did not try and stay in the Psalms, nor verse 4, yet I did. Amy means beloved, David means beloved and I found my verses in the Psalms! How is that for having an awesome, mightier, timeless God!

good job, but since your name is too short I think you should do it twice!

Oh I love you take on this, Jen. I did not know Amy meant beloved. I did know David does, because that's why my first son is named David!!
