Friends

~As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17 NLT

~If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. 2 Corinthians 5:13 NLT

I have some of the craziest friends in the world.

It's a good thing we are crazy first and foremost for Jesus or we could get ourselves into some real trouble.

I am so thankful for them. I don't know how I could walk though this faith journey without them.

Each of them has taught me something that I don't think I could have learned on my own. They are there when I need someone to lean on, someone to help with my kids, someone to just listen...
I don't know how people go through life without people they can trust around them. I can share my deepest, darkest secrets with them and know that it is safe. I know that I can tell them those thoughts most of us never utter and they will pray me though. I know that I can trust their advice because each is rooted in God.
I treasure our prayer time. I wish we could do it more often but life just gets in the way sometimes...
My prayer for each of my friends tonight is that God would open the floodgates of Heaven and pour blessings on you that you won't have room enough to take it in! Blessings in your marriages, in your finances, in your heath...in any area that you feel lacking as you read this, may God fill you.

  1. Thanks Michelle :) We love you and pray the same for you. And I love that even when I'm crazy in a not so good way you don't hold it against me! ;)

  2. Michelle, I am so thankful for you for soooo many reasons. Some you know, some you don't. I love you like a sister and I'm not too sure I would know what to do with myself without you in my life. I pray all of those things over you as well. Nuff said!
