40 Verses for Lent

We are in the season of Lent and I have committed to meditating on one verse per day.  I picked out verses that God has revealed to me at some point during the past few years of Mommyhood.  As I study and memorize them, I'll tape my note cards with verses to the kitchen cabinets.  I'm looking forward to plastering my kitchen with scripture!
