My Girls....

I know you are thinking this is another one of those posts about my daughters. Yes, they give me a lot to write about. But tonight my girls are my girlfriends. I am so blessed to have an accountability group of girlfriends that truly are gifts from God in my life. These girls are such an inspiration to me. Here and only here do I find a way to be truly honest and open with my feelings and struggles. These sisters are there to encourage, rebuke and spur me on when life gets in the way. They hold me up physically when I can't seem to go on. They lift me up in prayer when life comes pressing down around me. They cheer me up when darkness tries to overcome me. They just simply make me smile.

Tonight I sat with them and we rounded a new corner in our group. Maybe even a new day has begun for us. I see a brightness and light at the end of tunnel that we all have been traveling. When one of us is going through a valley, the rest of us are walking there too, pushing, pulling, cheering and praying the others along the way. Tonight seemed as if we are all starting to climb up again.

Coffee night with the girls is a sacred night. Even my family has figured out that these nights allow me to come home and be a better wife and mother. I become a better friend and teacher. I come home with a new perspective and love of what our Father is doing in our lives. Never doubt that He is in control of how and when things happen. He is in control! We discover this each time we come together and share our lives. We see how His mighty hand has brought us together to fill in the gaps for one another. We continually find ways we are connected and how God must have known we would need each other. I stay amazed at how we have become this little sisterhood of friends.

The Coffee Girls.....one of my greatest blessings!
