Mommy's Best Friends

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.


Let me take a minute and introduce you to my best friends! On the bottom from left to right, of course Im the first one, then Liz, Christy and Rebecca and on the top left to right is Jen, Brittney, Ginny, Kat and Sarah.

As I begin to write, I feel my eyes well with tears and my heart becomes a little overwhelmed when I think about each and every one of these girls. They are my lifeline, they are my listeners, they are my encouragers and best of all, they are my sisters in Christ.

About a year ago, we decided that we should join a bible fellowship class at our church. After attending for about 7 years we decided we had better delve in and find our home. Never in a million years would I have thought that in a year I would have 8 best friends that I could never imagine my future without. God has given me these girls, each and everyone unique and so important in their own ways. When I need a laugh, there is always one to make that happen. When I need encouragement, there is always one to encourage. When I need to pray, there is always someone there to pray. When I need a verse, there is always someone there to share. When I need to cry, they'd cry with me too. When I need a push, they're right behind me. In fiftenn years, theyre the ones I imagine right beside me when my babies are graduating highschool. In twenty five years, theyre the ones I imagine right beside me as my babies begin to get married. In fourty, theyre the ones I imagine myself becomming a grandma with. In fifty years, they're the ones I imagine I'll be going through sad times with and growing old with. I pray that wherever God leads us in our lives that He always leads us together and that our heartstrings are always tied closely.

With thanksgiving coming up, I could not help but think about how important it is to tell you about my best friends. Because to God be the glory for each and everyone of them! I love them just as if they're my sisters, they are the sisters I never had. Growing up I always wished I would have one sister, waiting certainly pays off because now I have 8.

We are the family that we have chosen for ourselves. Together, we strive to be godly women with a godly purpose, through Him We are victorious, together we are victorious!
