Friends

Lately God has been reminding me of just how many friends that I have and how very special they are to me. Maybe because I am getting better about dealing with my insecurity or that I have been praying about friensdhips, I don't know, but I am definitely surrounded by lots of people I call my friends. I have many different types of friendships. Each person in my life adds something unique and is a different type of friend. Sherri, who I've known since 6th grade, is my bff (lol)! She and I have been through so much together and I can't imagine not having her in my life. Then there's my "girlfriends", Linda, Christy, Erin, Stephanie, and Becky who have kids the same age as my kids that I have Bible study with and just hang out. They are so FUN and I love that we get together often for laughter and support. My sister chicks are Becky and Connie....I met them when I first moved here. They are such godly women who always give me biblical advice and are not afraid to call me out on my own junk....plus we have a great story about an overnight stay in a bed and breakast! There's Sonya who I call my therapist. Kris who is my new running partner...if I can keep up with her!! Tracy who is always up for Dollywood with us. Joy who graciously shares Beth Moore Bible studies with me....I am SO glad that we have become closer friends. There are so many more that it would take pages to name and tell how special they are to me. I believe God has placed every single person in my life. Not to mention my family, who are also my friends. I love how relationships grow and change, mature, as you get older. I am VERY VERY blessed and so appreciate everything that my friends bring to my life. Even if I didn't mention your name, PLEASE know that I love all of you and pray for you. Numbers 6:24-26
