Girlfriends are Godsent

So, I've been thinking about how loved I am lately, and how I totally don't deserve the friends that I have! In the past few weeks I've spent some good time with girlfriends that mean the world to me.  I wanted to give a little shout out to the girlfriends (old and new) that I count as blessings in my life.

• Amanda - My sister, my best friend.  She knows me so well, I can't get anything past her.  She knows the best because, well, she's known me the longest!  Amanda is always there to cheer me up with her joyful spirit.  She's multi-faceted and there's never a dull moment with her around! I find myself constantly impressed by her care-free spirit and her love for living life!

• Tara - Last Friday while our guys were out of pocket, we were able to catch up over dinner.  Tara and I became friends in the 3rd grade, and God has preserved our friendship over all these years! We always pick up right where we left off, even if we haven't talked for awhile. She's seen me at my worst, and loved me anyways!  I find myself often blown away by her creativity and her faithfulness.

• Laurie (LoLo) - Laurie is our roomate, and the best roomie ever!  I've known Laurie since 2001, she's one of the first friends I made when I came to Fellowship Church.  Laurie makes me laugh everyday, I can't believe all of the random crazyness that she brings up in conversation.  She's smart, strong and beautiful, I find myself amazed at her passion and dedication.

• Sara (Miss Sara) - Sara has one of the best hearts I've ever known.  It is public knowledge that she's a gem (and that she cries at almost any movie that's slightly sappy)! She's a friend because she remembers the important things and she's a cheerleader for your success.  I can always count on Sara, I find myself in awe of her knowledge of sports statistics and her sweet, sweet heart that seeks the Lord first.

• Kara - Princess Kara, as she's also known, is sassy and WAY fun!  She's got all the latest scoop on everything under the sun...music, movies, fashion, concerts... I'm not sure how she does it, but man, there is no keeping up with her!  I love her straight-forwardness and her 'N Sync dancing skills! Kara and I have much in common, and she's my AI and Scrubs watching buddy!

• Crys - My prayer warrior and my beloved HomeTeam leader! All I can say about Crys is, she is always there for her friends.  She has a sincere heart and will always tell you the truth, even if it's hard to say!  HomeTeam and our group of friends wouldn't be the same without her. I can trust Crys with accountability issues and things that I need prayer for.  I love her consistency and her witty humor.

Amy, I love you too! What sweet things to say about your friends. I have to say that I equally enjoy spending time with you. We always find something to laugh at, whether it be hiding Jonathan in the shower or Kelly's horrible performance on AI! I love you and am blessed by our friendship!
