Spent the day with my Dress Sale Buddies! There is nothing quite like spending time with girlfriends. Especially when your a PW! During our conversation it became crystal clear to me just how important it is to have a group of friends or family that let you be you. I posted this on my Facebook page after our lunch.....Talking with my girlfriends today just reaffirmed my opinion that Pastor wives need a circle of friends outside of church that not only keep it real but that love you like you are just one of the girls! This fishbowl we live in can be lonely and rough! So grateful for my WABC family but also grateful that I have a close knit biological family and girlfriends who not only pray for me but who luv me for just me!
Later that day one of my friends asked if I needed those relationships so that I would have someone to act a pure fool with. Its a great theory but in reality I need the kind of girlfriends that will call me on my mess!!!
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
