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.

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.

Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 The NET Bible
