Blessed

I spent this weekend with my three closest friends who are completely awesome! When we get together we totally revive each other. They are like a second family. It is always surprising the strength we draw from each other. All three of them are amazing women that inspire and encourage me everytime we talk. I have known two of them since sixth grade and the other was my roomate all through college and then some. We change a little in between the times that we see one another, but when we get together there is always that settling, familiar, and secure feeling. Over time we have all grown in our relationship with God which I am very thankful for. Every year they get more amazing. We have taught each other so much and I can't imagine who I would be if I didn't know them. Over the years we have seen many ups and downs and we have all chosen to love, accept, and help each other along the way. That is what true friendship and love are about to me. They are choices. I appreciate and value them as people and I choose to love and accept them just the way they are. And they do the same with me, which is saying a lot ;o)
God, thank you for the blessing of true friends who encourage me in my walk with you and support me through difficult times. I pray that you will grow our relationships with you and with each other.
Thank you for an amazing family too, that loves me unconditionally and supports all that you are doing in my life.
Amen
