Thanks, Girls

One of the things God has blessed me with is the abundance of great people in my life.  Reflecting on my journey, I can see the relationships around me have not always been what I thought they should be, but have mostly served me very well.  While those closest to me know that I often lament the lack of a "significant other", the past several months have opened my eyes to the wonderful friendships present in my world, with mostly women.  I could rattle off a list long enough to be embarrassing, only because I don't deserve the blessings of these girls.  Some live close, some far (at least it seems that way), some are family, and some might as well be. Some are married, some not, some have kids, others have only pets.  No matter what stage in life in which they reside, they love me and minister to me in ways only each of them can.  
Don't get me wrong, I certainly need great guys in my life, too.  But You Know What?  Fellow women just have a way of understanding me that makes me a little more grounded and makes me feel a little less crazy.  So to all the many wonderful girls in my world--and you know who you are--thank you from the deepest parts of me, for being a light in my life.
