I just spent the last three hours having the greatest heart-to-heart talk with one of my dearest of dear friends. She is incredible. A woman of God. An honest soul. A faithful friend. An encourager of my heart. A challenger of my faith. A supporting sister. I seriously don't even know what I am going to do without her over the summer. She is flying to the other side of the world (Mozambique) to bless people with the gifts God has given her..... and I couldn't be more proud of her. What a lady!!!
It is the hugest blessing to me to have friends I can share ANYTHING with. Those friends are my girlfriends. They are the girls you don't always get along with, but can never stop loving. The ones that remain your friends even when you say hurtful things (that you often don't really actually mean). The ones that challenge you! I only hope that I am being as good a friend to them as they are to me.
I had a sweet reunion with a dear friend this week and spent time chilling in silence on the couch, chatting by the side of the pool and mocking boys while giggling hysterically sitting on her bed. I also had the privilege of making a new friend this week. And not only that.... she is my new "sister"... boarding with us over the summer. God is so amazing. Putting such awesome people in my life in the moments that I need them most.
Every day is with these girls of mine is special.... walks down the road, breakfast dates, water aerobics classes, coffees at the beach, chilling in the sun, late night ice cream runs, sushi lunches, good bye hug/prayers, tea times, car rides, movies nights, good 'ol girl talks... every second is cherished and filled with laughter, silence, tears, chatting.... whatever is needed in that moment.
So thank-you, Jesus, for the girls you have placed in my life.
