Girlfriends

What will I do without them.

Maria...
She's the one who embraces me when my soul is all bruised and battered. The princess with an inner core stronger than she would appear to possess, yet tender enough to understand the needs of a sensitive soul. Loyally fierce. In her arms I find warm hugs no one else can give, the kind lovingly given, dearly needed and greatly appreciated.

Shwing...
With our feet in the pool, with our hair flying in the face of the wind on the swings, we sing songs of worship to our God. With light-hearted giggles, we fall all over laughing about the sweet things God reveals. Timid and shy maybe, but you don't know her until you've watched her come alive in the presence of girls. She is God's gentle reminder to me that sensitive spirits are never alone.

Joylynn...
Steady as the river winding between the lush greens, a joyful sound, flowing with waters of life. Trustworthy, faithful and always there. The obvious distance does nothing to lessen her intangible presence. Through joy and through tears, we were there, upholding one another, seeking God together. Her friendship made possible the two tumultuous years.

Yan Hui...
Like a Springtime bud blossoming under rays of warm sunlight, she makes me come alive. Like a streak of lightning, she unknowingly surprises with occasional revelations. With her, words flow freely and there are no inhibitions. She enters the room and suddenly, the world is filled with colours again.

Joanne...
Strong leader, faithful counselor, constant guidance, a source of wisdom. She lends strength in my moments of weaknesses, reassures with her standing in my life, directs me in my states of confusion, shows love even when her own strength fails.

Girlfriends.
Each one of them precious, each one of them God sent.
Bonds and ties to last a lifetime.
