To The Wonderful Women In My Circle

I wish I could take credit for writing this, but this message was forwarded to me in an email by a dear woman friend who embodies exactly what this is talking about: The sisterhood of women friends who are sent by God at the right time and right season in your life to supply what you need at that moment in a friend! I thank God for her and the role she plays in my life. I thank God for all of my women friends that have really been there for me in various times of my life.

THE WONDERFUL WOMEN IN MY CIRCLE

When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best
friend, and then I started to become a woman. And then I found out
that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the
best in many friends.

One friend's best is needed when you're going through things with
your children. Another friend's best is needed when you're going
through things with your mom. Another when you want to shop,
share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.

One friend will say let's pray together, another let's cry together,
another let's fight together, another let's walk away together.

One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe fetish,
another your love for movies, another will be with you in your
season of confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the
wind beneath your wings.

But what ever their assignment in your life, on whatever the
occasion, on whatever the day, or where ever you need them to
meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back or to hold
you back from making a complete fool of yourself... those are your
friends.

It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many it's wrapped
up in several... one from 7th grade, one from high school, several
from the college years, a couple from old jobs, several from church,
on some days your mother, on others your sisters, and on some
days it's the one that you needed just for that day or week that you
needed someone with a fresh perspective, or the one who didn't
know all your baggage, or the one who would just listen without
judging... those are good girlfriends/best friends.

I thank my girlfriends, those who honor intimacy, those who hold
trust, and those who hold me up when life is just too heavy! The
special bond we share is unique.

Thanks for the words we've shared. The prayers we've sent up.
The laughs, the tears, the phone calls, the emails, the shopping, the
movies, the lunches, the dinners, the talking, talking, talking and
the listening, listening, listening....

So whether you've been there 20 minutes or 20 years, I love you!
