Thank God again for solid sisters!
I just want to stop for a minute and give thanks again to the Almighty for the gift of solid sisters in my life. He's brought the most amazing women into my life since He saved me in March of 2003. These ladies have had an enormous impact on my walk with Christ. God has used them to challenge me, to encourage me, and to say words that would be used by the Holy Spirit to bring about conviction in my heart. He has used them to say things that have made me jump into the Word and study. They have come alongside me in the dark times and have held me up when I couldn't stand on my own. They have beamed bright smiles at me when I've been in a sourpuss mood and have brought me out of my self-centered thoughts. They have shown me exemplary Spirit-filled conduct in trying situations where the flesh seeks to rule. They have been faithful to pray for me, with me, and have strengthened my faith by showing me theirs. They have studied the Word with me and we've rejoiced together over new jewels of truth God has shown us after a long time digging. They have called, written, and e-mailed Scriptures to me at the exact times the Lord knew I needed them. They've been obedient to the Word of God and to the Holy Spirit and have been examples for me to learn from and look to for guidance. They have gently rebuked me in love when I've walked out of line with the Scripture. They've listened intently as I've confessed sin and have never judged me or looked at me with condemning eyes. They've cried with me, smiled with me, laughed with me, and most importantly praised Jesus with me. They've shown me the love of Christ and I thank my God for each one of them.
I thank God for my Sisters! I pray that God uses me to bless them a fraction as much as He's used them to bless me.

Thank you so much for your comment, Missy! I'm amazed at how we've grown closer to one another and am excited to see your walk with Christ increase so much over the past couple of years. While I'm sometimes sad that we don't get to worship together directly, I am thankful for email and for ladies' nights when we get to encourage one another, study the Word of God together, and share what's going on in our lives and walks with Christ. It's awesome to be part of a body of believers that extends all over this globe. Thank God for you! You're a solid sister for which I am very thankful!

I too thank God for solid sisters. I did not have them until a little over a year ago when God called us back to Cane Run. I was on my walk without sisters for years. I now know the gift they are. For me it takes sometime to get used to the idea that there are people there that actually care and want to talk to me about whatever. So, it has taken a little time. But still I agree with you 100%! God has given us many gifts but i think our sisters are some of the precious ones. And I too thank God for them. And you being one of them that I am just now getting to know. The blessing you have been already. I love you sister. I can't wait to grow with you and know you better.

Thanks for your comment Taria! Sometimes it is difficult to trust women because in the world they are usually catty and unsafe. Here in the body of Christ though, we're supposed to love one another and build one another up. I pray that we will always do that for eachother. I thank God for you! You have been such an encouragement to me as I've grown closer to you over the past year or so. Your bright smile and kind words always brighten my days. Thank God for you, my solid sister!
