"A Shout Out to My Sistah-Girl(s)"
Happy Wednesday - Back in the day, the famous rap group, Whodini, sung the song, "Friends, How Many of Us Have Them." The song was a major hit. As I thought about those words, I started questioning my friendships. One of the things I have always taught my sons, is that they needed to make sure of their friends; any friend or friends that constantly keeps you in trouble is not worth your time. And so it is with us as women. Any friend who constantly keeps drama going on, you need to release them. A real true friend to me, is someone you can let your guard down with. Meaning, if you feel like acting a fool, she will be right there with you, acting just as foolish. When you need a shoulder to cry on, she will lend you hers. When you feel like venting about all the craziness that's going on in your life (i.e., husband, children, boyfriend, work, just life), she becomes your listening board, and when you feel like you can't go another mile, she will be there to encourage you, that you can. See, that's what real friends do. Real true friends, you can fall out with, but when the chips are down, they totally forget about what you fell out about, and will come to your rescue. Real friends don't hold grudges; they value your friendship far above any petty disagreement. True friends, are like precious jewels; they're rare, they're valuable, and they're not always in plain sight. Sometimes, they're just in the background, pushing, encouraging and praying you through whatever you are dealing with. I've learned through life, that true friends, don't tear down, they built up, they don't compete, they compliment, they don't weaken, they strengthen, and they don't condemn, but rather, they cover. Again, "friends, how many of us have them." Every true friend that the Lord has placed in my life, is a blessing, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. The funny thing is though, we may not always talk, we may not always hang out all the time, but one thing I can be sure of, is when I need them, they are there. Kudos to your favorite sistah-girl(s)!!!
