Another neat way to memorize is to write out the first letter of each word in the verse. It gives you a prompt while not giving the answer. You have to work hard enough that it sticks. At a women's retreat a few months ago, we used alphabetic beads to make what was supposed to be a bracelet. I picked 1 Peter 3:15 which was so long I had to make it a necklace because it wrapped around my wrist twice. I had been trying, off and on, to memorize it, but the necklace did the trick.
Great devotional and plan, Kate! Have you heard of the husband/wife band, Poor Bishop Hooper? They have written a song for each of the Psalms. Like you mentioned, music is a great way to hide God’s word in our hearts.
Never heard of Poor Bishop Hooper. Wow - the song for Ps. 119 must be 20 minutes long! ha! Thanks so much for reading and then contributing to the conversation!

Wow Christy - I love it! Neat idea, thanks for sharing it!

Funny you say that! They did divide it out as in the Bible.
