What???? Are you kidding me??? Verse 21?!?
We’re just four verses from the finish line, Sisters! To God’s great glory, we’re doing this thing! I grinned from ear to ear two weeks ago when someone posted “Jesus wept” as her verse. That’s fair game! All of us could use a little catch from time to time. You guys bring me so much joy. May God cause His love and power to explode within you because you’ve worked so hard and fought so many distractions to get to this point.
OK, Girlfriends, here’s mine:

Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 The NET Bible

if I make my bed in the depths,[a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.

and carries them aloft.
