It's a Girl Thang

This has been a good week. Among other reasons, I reconnected with four girlfriends with whom my one-on-one catch up time was long overdue. The revival of these neglected ties gave me a renewed appreciation for the importance of female friendships.

Interestingly, I encountered these four women during different phases of my life - in my teen years, in college, at work, and as a new Christian. In reflecting upon our rendezvous via Skype video conference, phone call, dinner date, and a mid-afternoon visit, respectively, I marveled at how our friendships had evolved over the years, and how far we've come in life since we first met. They are reminders of the journey that has led me to this resting spot. And they will help me find my bearings as I forge ahead.

Here's a shout out to J.A.G.S., the special women who warmed my heart this week. You may not know each other, but you each hold special places in my heart.
