These are so good, Karen. I’ve been pondering a social media (with Hannah!), and I’m so grateful for your insights. Can’t wait for your book!

I love this, sister, Ma'am. Lol. I love that you're seeing people on socials still doing the work of building up the church! That is encouraging. Because we read all about that in Paul's letters! I don't have a big following on Instagram, I'm "comfortable with just the few." I'm more of a local-church type of gal--teaching the Bible and encouraging other women to get deeper into God's Word. But I've been stepping out a little bit more, by the Holy Spirit's prodding. And my goal is to help others have a deeper understanding of God and His Word, so that they "live out" God's Word more genuinely--and so build up The Body. Phew! Glad for this post! And excited for your book! My Instagram is @rice.and.shine (I'm one of your followers) just in case you were wondering. Lol. Much love to you, Karen!!!

I'm thankful for your presence in your local church, Maria - keep teaching and training and raising up, we need it. I came out of the pandemic with a deeper appreciation and love for my local church. I renewed my commitment to love and serve the local saints, and I don't regret it one bit. My eyes were opened to see God's hand moving powerfully in corners I didn't even know existed - we're being renewed daily for the tasks in front of us, and the ones yet to come. Keep moving out in faith, He promises to met us with every step.
