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:

Dear Beth,
I know that this is a comment that will not be posted. (And should not be!) However, I wanted to tell you that this morning I picked up my spiral to review my new verse. My heart was overcome. You see, I had chosen Ps. 16 5-6
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup, you have made my lot secure, The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I knew a few days before NOV 1 that this was the scripture I was being drawn to this time. I never knew that on Nov. 1, I would be laid off from my job. My spriral will be ever present with me as I walk through this day. My savior will be ever present with me. Although I feel like a truck hit me during the night, I chose to walk by faith. Thanks for listening. And thanks for encouraging all of us to learn the word.
