The other day, it just occurred to me that this blessing of sisterhood has been a blessing over the years. I know so many amazing people and indeed I have been transformed my the story of many people. Some male some female.
When I think about each person, each story, I see the role I play. When I reflect about theses wonderful people I see the kind of sister I am to them.
I am..,
The sister that believes in her
The sister that thinks she can do it
The sister that doesn’t understand what more to do or say to connect with her
The sister that will take her burdens as mine
The sister that accepts her
The sister that believes he can do it
The sister who’s heart is intertwined with his
The sister that felt like a twin
The sister that took him seriously even when others didn’t
The sister that will help him stand up and be real
The sister that would ignore his faults and help
The sister that wants to be like him
The sister that takes him for him and loves him no matter what
The sister that will make him do what’s best for him
The sister that would help him clear his mind to think clearly
The sister that would help him see the world with matured eyes
The sister that brings him close to see how easy life in Christ is
The sister that guides and watches to see him gradually become
The sister that is willing to tell her the truth
The sister that just doesn’t understand her
The sister that wants to know her more
The sister that really thanks God for her
The sister that wants to lift him up but not sure how
The sister that knows she is stubborn but loves her all the same
The sister that is similar to him
The sister that’s just so grateful for him
The sister that is grateful for where she is today
The sister that loves her unique ways
The sister that is proud of him
The sister that wishes to be closer to her
The sister that is careful what she says to her
The sister that prays for the best for her.
The sister that wished we were closer
The sister that cherishes her from afar.
These and much more are ways my sisterhood relationship has been expressed towards people in my life.
Some I have seen my prayers answered over them while others its still ongoing. Some I have felt close to and other I consider ongoing.
For sure it’s been a blessing having people to relate with as sisters and friends.
I continue to build my archery of sisters every day. People that I can call myself a sister to (at least in my own eyes). If you have read to this point you may have identified the way I see the relationship I have had with you or want to have.
No matter where you fall, close or far away, remember that I want to be that sister that truly desires that you become all you were designed to be.
Sisterhood definitely can be expressed in very many ways. Mine keeps expanding and keeps evolving.
I am glad to be a sister to many.
I thank God for each opportunity I have been given.
And I thank you all for letting me be your sister.
