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:
Beth, Houston. “Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of the varied grace of God. Whoever speaks, let it be with God’s words.

Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 The NET Bible
Let me hear yours!
Stay the course, Sweet Things. You are so dearly loved and planned for by God.

Such a great question…
1.)Helpful: I really have been blessed when others share scripture to help me through a tough time. Also, genuine listening and support with phone calls, emails and text messages. I just need to know people have my back. Also hearing other similar situations and glorious outcomes gives me hope that the Lord isn’t finished with me yet…that I can make it through with His support.
2.)UNhelpful: When others discount my need to “vent” and immediately start telling me how it’s “going to be okay…” right off the cuff. I don’t like the feeling that my current state is making others uncomfortable, burdened or irritated.

So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don’t live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants. Don’t drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5: 15-20 The Message/NIV
