Blessings in the Form of Girlfriends

In today's hustle and bustle I don't think we take the time to celebrate the people who impact our lives. So right now I just want to take some time to celebrate the wonderful girlfriends that God has placed in my life. They are such a blessing in my life and such a source of inspiration to me that they deserve a little celebration.

The Girls

*Lauren Michele* (AKA The Best Friend)
Lauren is my best friend. We are so much a like it is scary (this probably has to do with the fact that we are 2 days apart). She is the person that knows everything about me, who sees me for exactly who I am and still loves me despite all my craziness. I can be completely silly or neurotic or enraged or heartbroken and she is the one who I call. Her spirit is the most amazing. Everyone needs a friend in their life just like her.

*Jill* (AKA The Southern Princess)
I met Jill in our first class (Foxy Knoxy) Freshman year of high school and we have been friends ever since. She is the only person I know who is probably more sarcastic then I am (which is really hard to do). She also is the most caring, generous, kind-hearted person you will ever meet in your life. She gives of her time, energy and resources like no one else I know. She inspires compassion in me.

*Robin* (AKA The Quite Beauty)
I have known Robin the longest. We grew up in church and school together (I use to steal her pink carpet in preschool). Her house was always the cool house to hang out and I have so many memories growing up that involve this woman. She has quiet beauty because she doesn't always talk as much as I do, but in certain moments she has spoken some of the most profound pieces of wisdom. Her gentle spirit inspires me.

*Katey* (AKA Christian Soldier Barbie)
Do not worry she calls herself Barbie so it is not an insult. Katey and I share similar stories in some ways that sometimes I think gosh am I looking in a mirror. She also has one of the most intense faiths and incredible testimonies I have ever heard in my life. She doesn't just speak her faith she lives it. Her faith inspires me to an even deeper faith and relationship with God.
