Happy Sunday!

 

Is everyone enjoying a bit of sunshine that we have had in last few days? I know am! I was reflecting over the past week and I was just overwhelmed with how blessed I am with true friendships! I hope you all have those close girlfriends you can lean on when life gets tough or someone to Celebrate amazing things happen in your life!  I just love how God brings us the “right” friends at the right time. Yes…I have had friends who have hurt me, I have had friends who were in my life for a reason and just a season as the saying goes…but, ALL of them have shaped and molded me in some way. I LOVE that my true girlfriends do not care that my house is messy,  that I am not perfect, they can see past my flaws and love me anyway. They can genuinely see that I WANT to be better and strive to be loving, kind and generous. But, sometimes I fail miserably and fall flat on my face. I am thankful they pick me back up and love me more. I know I can call them and they will not just say what I might want to hear. They give me TRUTH even when it hurts. They support me and cheer me on without jealousy.  THEY WANT ME TO BE HAPPY.  Gosh…I could go on and on. Thankful today for each and every one of them. I have such unique friendships and each woman is special in her own way. Thanking God today for knowing who I needed and blessing me more than I deserve.

 

If you can…take a minute to pray for your girlfriends and do something sweet for them.  That could be kind word, a sweet text, a note mailed or a surprise visit with their favorite coffee;) I know I love surprises and it doesn’t have to be elborate! Thoughtfulness goes a long way!

 

Welp…enjoy your Sunday and I hope you remember that no matter your situation today…you are loved and all you have to do is look around to see your blessings 🙂

 

*you know how a song reminds you of someone or something? This song reminds me of my friend Kerri. We met through Facebook of all places and our lives look completely different than they did just 4 years ago. We have put in some hard work and  it’s soo awesome to see the fruits of our labor. Of course we could not do it alone. God brought us together and helped us more than we could have imagined. It’s so awesome to see! I hope to share more of our stories one day. Enjoy this song!
