I am a firm believer that I have some of the most amazing friends in the world. I am blessed with women that surround me with prayers and steadfast love. And I can honestly say, I too, love and pray for them as well. These women have laughed with me, cried with me, held my hand, hugged my shoulders, listened to me vent, fervently prayed for my family. Godly women, that love the Lord God with all of their hearts and represent that love by reaching out, not only to their friends and family, but to the community - to live and love like Jesus. They are whole-heartedly Proverbs 31 women.
25 She is clothed with strength & dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
While keeping a dear friend's little girl last week, another dear friend called. She wanted to check-in and see how things were going, catch-up with the family and chat for a few moments. But more than that, she wanted to call to set up a time to come and visit & asked what I would like for her to pray for, for our family. Humbled and honest, I laid my heart out to her, as I always do when we chat. Love, it's as simple as that, we love one another as if we were created side-by-side.
Her requests got me contemplating how incredibly fortunate I am to have friends that desire more than just a shallow surface friendship. Friends that call to pray with me and for me and my family. That sort of friendship doesn't come easy in today's cold and self-centered world. I am blessed to be able to call SO many Godly Women my friends, we all have a common goal...Love Jesus with all of our heart and soul and share that love with the world. We all have the same desires in life and that is something that makes our friendships easy.
30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; But a Woman who fears the LORD is worthy to be praised.
I learned how to love ambitiously from my Grandmother, Mother & Sister, as well as the women on my husbands side of the family. Family will never be replaced, the things they have taught me about life have helped me to fair-well in this difficult world. They gave me roots & helped me find my wings. My friends have been the ones to help me soar, being the wind beneath those wings.
