Being a women means so many things today. Different things to different folks. I personally long for the sisterhood I use to see when I was little. I love the old movies where the women were like sisters. Titus 2 is a passage in the Bible that teaches this kind of relationship is what God had in mind for women. Why don't we have it today? Lack of humbleness, Lack of deep and gut wrenching honesty and transparency, Lack of trust.
If we decide it is possible to have this bond. I strongly believe in the Mentor relationship and like everything else I have to do it the "DOT" way. I personally select my mentors. I use to ask the people "officially" to take on the task of teaching and training a thirty something to be more godly and gentle like them. {Oh, the shock, fear, and slight confusion in some of the poor victims, especially the few that have been "younger") This became a very awkward conversation. So I have just elected those that I see exhibiting the traits and skills I want and pray for a door to swing open and allow us to work together without the awkward and stressfulness.
I have recently seen how a change in spirit and in mind (praise!!!) God has provided, "Fristers" Friends who are like Sisters and it is kind of cool sometimes we get together on Fridays!!! :). The best part is the ones that are Christians, we are truly Sisters in Christ, and despite what happens throughout our lives here on earth, we will always be together. My favorite song about friends is the Michael W. Smith song "Friends are Friends forever". (it is on the playlist player, scroll down and look for it)
This video really says the same thing, I loved the pictures and the essay is great! Enjoy and embrace your "fristers". I love when we get confirmations of our current direction and a glimpse of the purpose of a struggle or difficult change.
