After months of carrying around ring-bound flashcards in college, I decided to make a few changes of my own. Being able to study on the go was a definite plus, but there were a few problems with the flashcards I bought in stores. The ring the cards came with was much too flimsy for carrying around on my keys or snapped to my backpack. After a dozen or so times of losing all my cards because the ring pulled open, I switched to a sturdier carabiner. In addition, I taped a rubber band to the back card so I could keep the cards in a neat stack when I wasn’t using them. I used duct tape and a thin rubber band that eventually broke, but for the time I used the first “Keywi ™” cards they served me well! From much use and being transported on my keys everywhere, the card edges got a little worn and discolored, but the trade-off was that I actually put to memory some encouraging verses that really applied to my life.
I'll always remember memorizing Psalm 138:8!
One in particular I had the foresight to date: “10-6-03” Psalm 138:8 “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands.” (NIV ’83) It was the only card I dated. I believe at the time I was hoping to look back at that date someday and see the fulfillment of God’s purpose over my life, because in that moment I was truly at a loss for what to do next.
With the cards always with me as I went about my day, I was amazed at all the extra time I found to memorize the verses. Time spent waiting in line and various breaks throughout my day found a new purpose…in a very real sense, time that normally was idle time was redeemed! I was encouraged at my progress and my faith was bolstered by the constant meditation on truth this new method provided me.
