Some of my girlfriends are having some really tough weeks, some of the toughest in their lives. And thinking of how I and others can best serve them makes me so grateful of how many loving and generous friends that I have to count on, in good times and bad. Don't get me wrong, I love how my husband supports me, and I am fortunate to have had some great male friends over the years, but nothing is quite like having steady "sisters" alongside in the walk of life. Whether by blood, extended family, shared circumstances, travel buddies, old friends and new; these women are there to lean on when you are weak, stand beside you when you seek fortitude, back you up when you could use extra strength, and serve you when you don't even realize you need help. Hopefully we all have some of these - those we see and talk to regularly, and those who live miles away or you haven't talked to in months/years but you know you could call in the middle of the night if you truly needed too.
I sure do hope that men also experience this in their friends with a sense of brotherhood, but in any case, mad love to all my lady friends/sistas!
* To Jen, Jojo, Steph - I petition for you in prayer, may you find the strength to be uplifted in God's love in your times of need.
**To my older sister Debbie, happy birthday tomorrow!! May you be blessed with many more years to enjoy with your precious family.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. It is an amazing gift to have strong, funny, supportive and prayerful women in my life on the best days and the worst. I am blessed beyond measure to have "sisters" like you.
I could not have said it better myself. The only thing that carries me through - is Father God, showing up through the people He's given me to walk through this life with. Thank you Liv & Bart for your love and prayers.
