GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE


When I was little,

I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,

and then I started to become a woman.


And then I found out that if you allow your heart
to open up,

God would show you the best in many friends.




One friend is needed when you're going through things
with your man.

Another friend is needed when you're going through things
with your mom.


Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight

in your children and their activities.

Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke,
or just be.


One friend will say, 'Let's cry together,'

another, 'Let's fight together,'

another, 'Let's walk away together.'




One friend will meet your spiritual need,

another your shoe fetish,

another your love for movies,

anot her will be with you in your season of confusion,

another will be your clarifier,

another the wind beneath your wings.


But whatever their assignment in your life,

on whatever the occasion,

on what ever the day,

or wherever you need them to meet you with their

gym shoes on and hair pulled back,

or to hold you back from making a complete
fool of yourself ...

those are your best friends.




It may all be wrapped up in one woman,

but for many, it's wrapped up in several..

one from 7th grade,

one from high school,

several from the college years,

a couple from old jobs,

on some day s your mother,

on some days your neighbor,

on others, your sisters,

and on some days, your daughters


So whether they've been your friend for
20 minutes or 20 years,

AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,

pass this on to the women that God has
placed in your life

to make a difference.
