Girlfriends...
So, I've been pondering again. It's a dangerous passtime. I've been reading the Sisterchicks series of books these past few days. And don't you dare laugh at me. All of us need our releases, and mine just happens to be cheesy, girly, feel-good novels. I know they are super cheesy...but I love them! But anyway...I've been reading these books and realizing how grateful I am for the girlfriends I have.
I was pretty lonely all last year out here in the middle of nowhere...I missed my sorority sisters and the community I had with them. I missed late night donut runs and girly movies. I missed having someone to hold me when I was crying and comfort me when I was upset. But God is good. It took me a year to really realize how important my girls are.
Today especially I realized that I am going to make it. A newfound girlfriend of mine from here shared with me that she has FINALLY gotten pregnant. I know she's not sharing that with everyone because it's still early. I am truly blessed to be a part of her life. I don't care what age my "sisterchicks" are...they are important to me! There's this friend, who is about 28, and then there's my pastor friend who is pushing 50...they both represent different things in my life, and I wouldn't be the same without them. It took a while, but when I was open and allowed myself to be known, the friendships came. Now I have to learn how to make time for them again.
Anyway...here's a shout-out to all my girls...even if we don't talk all the time...you have blessed me in some way...and I am glad to know you. I know that if I ever needed anything...I could turn to any of you and in an instant you'd be by my side if you could. Thanks for all you have been and are to me! I love you! God truly created us to be relational creatures, and for that, I am truly thankful. Amen and Amen.
