Frienship

I've been wanting to write this blog for a long time, but could never figure out the words I wanted to use. My life has been full of ups and downs, much like everyone elses. The two things that get me through everything are God and friends.
I am so blessed to have such an amazing group of friends, old and new. And more recently have am amazing group of girls that are so uplifting to my spirit that I cry tears of joy to have them in my life. I truly believe that the friends I have now are meant to be in my life for good. We have such a great support system in eachother and it is all based on out belief in God. We can pray together and cry together and share together, how amazing is that!
I borrowed a book from my sister, my greatest of all friends, yesterday. "When it Pours, He Reigns" It's a book about overcoming life's storms and let me tell you that in the one chapter I have read it has given me such peace. A quote from the book says,"We will fulfill what God created us to do only by getting and staying connected with those who join us on our journey." This is the TRUTH!!! As I read that I sat and thought about the things I have been dealing with this year and how I don't think I could have made it through as well as I have without the women that God has placed in my life. We are destined fro greatness!
We encourage eachother to stand tall and not to give up. The enemy will try and attack, but we have to claim the victory that is already ours. The book also touches on sharing your expierence with others because you never know who your testimony can speak to. There are others out there who need to know what we know and what we have gone through to get out on the other side, we need to help them to know that no matter how dark the tunnel is, there is light on the other side.
I am stronger for the things I have gone through and have learned some very valuable lessons, not only this year, but in the 4 years leading up to it. I can now stand and say that God has been my driving force, but the friends that he has placed in my life have been my wings, helping to carry me through the rough times.
I love you all more than you will ever know!
