We just started D-Group last week and I am so glad that I found this great group of ladies. D-Group stands for Discipleship Group. Here's more info about these groups started by Tara Leigh Cobble. We meet every Thursday on zoom over my lunch break. There are 8 sessions per year and each session lasts 6 weeks. For Sessions one and two this year, we are studying The Apostles' Creed (Good Book Guides) by Tim Chester. 

Last Thursday, we met each other on zoom and had our Launch Party. It was mostly a time to get to know each other and a chance to go over the schedule and packet and talk about how the rest of the session will run. We also went over the weekly challenge, watched the Week One Video together, and assigned roles to some of the members. I was assigned Time Keeper, so I am in charge of keeping us on track while we're on zoom. Hopefully, I do well at this job. 😅

One of the things we have to do each session is to memorize a passage of scripture. In this session, we are memorizing John 3:1-8, but it's divided up into smaller chunks each week until the last week when we say the whole passage from memory. So, for week one, we had to memorize John 3:1-2 and try to recite it at our next meeting. I kind of slacked off and didn't really work on my memory verse much until yesterday morning. This was bad because week two of D-Group was yesterday at noon and the first thing on the agenda was reciting memory verses. 😬 I didn't do terribly, but I definitely didn't have it memorized. I mostly paraphrased and that's not good. So I decided I need to put the wallpaper on my phone and I needed to create a recording of myself saying the next set of verses so I can do better next week. 

Here is a short YouTube video I created for John 3:1-4 to help me memorize it:

I will keep working on my scripture memory, and I'll post an update on how it's going. I think I will also write about the chapter we are doing each week and my thoughts on the questions. Until then!
