girlfriends

Last night, I went to the movies with an old friend.  We had just such a fun time.  We laughed, we cried, shared wisdom that our Lord has taught us in the past few weeks.  We prayed.  

All to say, I believe those friendships with our fellow sisters in Christ are a gift and a blessing from our King.  And I am so very thankful for them.  We need to take the time out for them, cultivate them, cherish them.   

And the rewards are worth every sacrifice.

I think God meant it that way.  Not to take over, but to enhance our lives.  Girlfriends to come along side your struggle.  To point to the light when you can no longer lift your head, to sit with you while you rest.

Yup.  God knew what he was doing.  :)

And I am thankful for those beautiful sisters.
