The Power of Friendship

My Girls

The young women you see in the photo are the young women I have become very close to. I met them through church and closer through our C-Team. C-Teams are our small groups at Cornerstone Church. I have forged a friendship with each one of them and I have been blessed beyond measure because of them. I am quite older than they are, but I see in them a desire to know God intimately and the desire to live their lives as best they can. They are each talented in their own right. This small group is consisted of an artist, a singer, a graphic designer, an athlete, but most importantly they are all Christ-followers. What I find so ironic, is that most of my close friendships are always with guys. That is just how I prefer my friendships, but it has been wonderful to have these young women in my life. Because I am older, I am able to mentor and advise them on various events going on in their lives. What I find the most valuable is that we get to spend time together and just have wonderful conversations. We laugh together, we cry, we console one another, we pray for each other and we share with one another our joys and sorrows – in short, we are there for one another. Taking a step back and looking at the bond I share with my girls, I realize the importance of small groups and the vital role they play in church and in our lives; had it not been for our C-Team, I don’t think we would be as close as we are and I can’t imagine not having each one of these lovely ladies in my life. To my Lisa, Lee, Stephanie, and Nini…I love you girls and I pray this for you everyday.
“The LORD bless you
and keep you;
the LORD make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” ‘
Numbers 6:24-26
