Today's Edification (7 January 2025)


Hello again sisters!

I hope this finds you pressing on in the faith! One more day to labour in good works as He gives the ability. Everything is about Him and for Him isn't it sisters. Nothing is for our glory. But yet if we abide faithful, obedient, and humble here we will be glorified with Him but that will be in due time and not now and not if we exalt ourselves! 


When we have the Holy Spirit we know our lives will be about holiness, loving it and living it. 

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1 John 4:12-13 

The precious fruits of the Spirit will be in our lives... 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 
Galatians 5:22-23 


(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord..
Ephesians 5:9-10


His ways are so good aren't they sisters! 


And it is the battle of the flesh versus the Spirit we will be in but we have been told about that and what the works of the flesh are to crucify. I share this passage for greater context to the one I shared above. See how precious the fruits of the Spirit are when listed after the nasty works of the flesh... 

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 

Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16-25 


Here's another good and related passage... 

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Romans 8:8-17

And indeed this is our hope... 

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  
Romans 8:1


May we be rooted and grounded in the truth in Christ in this world where confusion abounds and quite honestly things are going insane. 

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:14-15


Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew 7:24-27

I'm going to keep saying it and believing it...how we must stay so close to the Word and beware of humans and massive deception in these days. Treasure the Word sisters. I know you do but we can never treasure the truth and indeed the Lord Himself enough. But then we must also put it into practice of course! 


Keep soldiering on in the faith my sisters! Love and peace to you in His holy name.

Salutations to my sisters in Christ! 

I hope you're doing well today...physically and most importantly, spiritually! Either way we can focus on our Lord more and more and if we're going through trials that will help us as He is our Helper and Saviour after all! 

Let us rest in the fact that His precious grace is sufficient for us... 

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 

Yes what if we didn't have His grace sisters? We would be most hopeless and lost. That should be enough to give us eternal joy just thinking about His amazing goodness to us humans who are needing so much help and in such a mess without Him! We know this is shown in our Saviour Jesus Christ. So may we abide in Him. He came to save us from our sins that we couldn't! The truth makes us free and His blood cleanses us! 

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 1:7


This is a beautiful description of wisdom... 

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Proverbs 3:17

There's a lot in Proverbs about it though. We know it is true godly wisdom and not the wisdom of the world. This scripture also describes it beautifully too! 

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17

This is precious in this dark and wicked world. May we seek to have and cultivate this wisdom in our lives sisters remembering that the fear of God is the beginning of this true wisdom! You could spend a lot of time studying that scripture and each of the attributes of wisdom. And good to test ourselves too and amend our ways if needed but there's always room to grow isn't there! 

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 


I got to listen to all of Proverbs the other day and there's so much in there but the concept of faithful stood out to me too. 

A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. 
Proverbs 11:13
A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. 
Proverbs 14:5
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
Proverbs 20:6 
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 
Proverbs 28:20 

We want to be faithful don't we! 

Well I shall go now sisters! God sees us all, me writing this and you reading this wherever you are around the world. He sees what's in our hearts and what our actions are. May we remember we will stand before Him alone and give account. May we be in godly fear of Him as that will keep us from sin won't it as we know wilful ongoing sin leads to His wrath and indeed the wages of is sin is death. But we have a Saviour to flee to for refuge when we sin and we know we must forsake our sins and strive on. 

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 


Hold fast to the truth sisters! Love to you in His name.

Greetings in the Lord to my godly sisters!

I am back on yet another day He created and gave us!

Here's a scripture to ponder today... 

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Hebrews 13:5-6


We know covetousness is not to be once named among the saints and that it is idolatry. 

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Ephesians 5:3
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Colossians 3:5-6

And as it says be content with such things as we have. Contentment is a big area we sisters want to have and grow in isn't it. We know coveting other things is not pleasing to the Lord whom we love. 

And in that first scripture I shared it mentions not fearing what man can do unto us too. Reminds me of this scripture too... 

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 

We are to fear God alone. And in our human flesh there could be a number of reasons we may fear man whether we fear them harming us physically or fear them deceiving us or falsely accusing or slandering or stealing and any number of things. We just leave what others may be able to do in His hands as they can only kill the body at the most and are not able to kill the soul. Praise God for that! It's freeing not caring what man can say or do and leaving things to the Lord and living to please Him! And of course we are to beware of men and cautious and not let them deceive us. But we don't need to 'fear' them. We trust in our mighty Lord! 

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Proverbs 29:25


The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Psalm 37:23-25

That is a comforting promise that the Lord will not forsake His own. Now we do know sin separates so let us cast off all sin and weights that hinder us. 

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isaiah 59:1-2

No we do not want to be separated from Him who is the only source of good and light and hope and peace and joy. May we trust in our Saviour to save us from our sins! He sets us free from the bondage of sin by giving us the power to overcome them and the ability to be forgiven with His precious blood. What a priceless gift this is and indeed a fountain for all uncleanness. Let us be washed! 

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 
Zechariah 13:1


And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation 1:5



I was pondering the Lord's righteousness. And indeed we are to seek it ourselves. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33


It's just very refreshing to think of that which is right in this world where so very much is wrong! 

For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
Psalm 11:7 


And indeed we are to be righteous also. 

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 

So let us press on sisters. The battle is still on so let us not grow weary in well doing. But we must through much tribulation enter the kingdom. So may we endure all hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ's! 

Mercy, peace, and love to you. Farewell.

Greetings sister saints! 


I share this awesome scripture to begin! 

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 

As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 

Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Colossians 1:2-15

That is packed full of good things starting with some love of the saints and about their faithful witness and also going on to talk about our glorious Saviour and how we are to walk worthy of Him! His Word is riches indeed and of course so much better than my words! 


I hope you're all pressing on in the faith sisters, striving to be accepted of Him while we are absent from Him for we walk by faith not sight! May we be preparing for the marriage supper of the Lamb and also comforted that He has prepared a place for us! 

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew 25:34


Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:1-3


That is our hope sisters! And we know He is the way there! 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6


Let us follow hard after Him! He is the truth and His ways are the truth. If we are outside of His ways that means we are not in the truth. Truth matters so very much. Let us diligently seek the truth and love it and hate every false way. 


Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 
Psalm 25:5

 


For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 
Psalm 26:3

 


Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 
Psalm 40:11

 


Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 
Psalm 86:11

 


I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
Psalm 119:30


May we be all about the truth of God sisters, which we find in His Word and I am so thankful for that! We cannot make up our own ways and call them truth. It doesn't work like that! God is the Creator of this whole universe and the truth is what is truth according to Him! It is pleasing to Him when we search out the truth diligently! May He help us and give us the strength to walk it out in practice too! It's not good if we know something but don't obey it. We will surely be held responsible. 


Keep striving on the narrow road sisters. The Lord be glorified in us as we bear much fruit under His good care and pruning! Love to you in His name. 

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:8

Greetings sisters! 


Here is another good day to serve our Lord in good works and a thankful pure heart for all He has done for us! 

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Hebrews 12:28

For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 

And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

How awesome we get to serve the living and true God! This is an honour and a privilege and so many more blessings! 


Paul is quite clear in the message he was giving here by the Spirit... 

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:1
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Philippians 4:4

Amen always in the Lord we can rejoice. In the world we will have much tribulation but we are to be of good cheer/courage as our Saviour has overcome it! 


Loving God is so very important isn't it. He told us also how we do that and therefore what it looks like. 

For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John 5:3


And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy 6:5

 

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John 14:23


And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
Deuteronomy 10:12

 

And this is comforting... 

But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1 Corinthians 8:3

And this too... 

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28

And those who love Him will get to be with Him for all eternity! How precious. 

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21

 

I've had a busy day so I will head for some rest and Lord willing be back here to edify us all tomorrow! Keep pressing on in the good works the Lord has for you sisters! Love and peace to you in His name.

Hello sisters! 


Time for some more simple edifying from the pure Word of truth! So thankful for that in this world where falsehoods and impurity is widely accepted. He is our Rock and so is His Word and we can build upon it and we won't get swept away! 


In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 

Ephesians 1:13-14


Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 
2 Timothy 2:15


Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 
James 1:18


And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
Psalm 119:43


Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. 
Proverbs 30:5
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Psalm 119:140 

Amen! 

I hope all you sisters are set in your hearts and minds to keep pressing on for the Lord another year! But we can only take things one day at a time or even really the second that's in front of us right now. They all add up to a day and those all add up to a year...and then a lifetime, so really each second does count. Are we being faithful with each one sisters? There is so much to examine and test in our lives against the written word of truth of which we live by every word. We cannot compare ourselves to others, to the world or to other believers, it must be to the pure Word of truth! 


And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
2 Thessalonians 3:14-15

We know there is a place for separation from people. That is clear in the Word. It is to obey the Lord and never because we don't like someone or such fleshly ways. It is because of their sin. It is to shame them not discourage or condemn as if they truly love the Lord they will be ashamed and repent. But if not then the separation must remain and God will deal with them. I sometimes ponder this scripture too... 

Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 

So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 

Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

2 Corinthians 2:6-8 

We know there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repents! And we know the Lord loves His children and so we too are to love and comfort each other in the Lord when we are all walking in the truth. And this is one of the truths to walk in! 

We know love is the bond of perfectness so let us excel in godly love! 

And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 
Colossians 3:14 
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8

 

So that's my simple edifying for today! Still going here with garden work and sewing mostly with the occasional cleaning job too and other Titus 2 works day by day. Keep going in your duties with contentment and thankfulness sisters! Those subjects are huge and big ones to keep working on in our lives to live simply and peacefully unto our God as He sees. Grace, mercy, and peace to you in godly love! Be strong and courageous in the faith my sisters! And stand! 

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:10-13

Today's Edification (1 January 2025)


Greetings again sisters! 

Another day and year to keep serving our good Lord and Saviour who has made the way for us! No matter what comes, physical trials or spiritual ones, we want to focus on Him and His goodness! There are so many aspects of His goodness to ponder on and be reminded of and study in His Word! But we can count on there always being great reason to rejoice...in Him. It's all about Him. When we lose our focus from Him and look at all that's going on around us, perhaps like Peter on the sea, then we will have troubles and 'sink' if we don't call out for Him to save us, and take action ourselves to return our focus to Him off of whatever is causing the issue. There are hundreds of things that could distract us and things that are troubling as the world goes downhill fast but we must keep our eyes of faith on Him stedfastly! 

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:22


And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Matthew 14:29-31

It is also interesting to ponder the connection between doubt and lack of faith and obviously we don't want that. 

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 
Romans 14:1,23


I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 
1 Timothy 2:8


And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Luke 12:29

May our faith be strong. And if we are struggling we probably need to look at our faith and what we are focused on I think. And if we focus on Him I'm sure that will solve a lot of problems we may have! It is uplifting to read the Word on His goodness and be comforted in the truth. The truth always makes us free! We do not want to be in bondage to the flesh and sin and lies...no!

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

Praise God for that hope! 

The wicked one is looking to condemn and accuse and devour us so we must keep hoping in Him in faith to overcome! 

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:1
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:4-5 

 

I wanted to read Proverbs 15 today! Just as it's so good and there's so many verses in there I wanted to share so I thought I'd just read the whole thing to edify us sisters! 



LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Psalm 39:4-8

 

May we keep striving to attain... 

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Philippians 3:10-15

Yes may we press forwards and forget those things which are behind and keep reaching forwards towards the mark! We must press on actively.

And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke 9:62 

And we will press on won't we sisters! Our race is before us and we have been told to strive and fight...spiritually of course as we do neither physically! 

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12


So let us redeem this next year (if the Lord gives it all to us) in all good works, day by day, and grow up in Him some more through all He allows us to go through and read and ponder in His Word. Hold fast sisters. My love be with you.
