Army Sisters

Life has been a whirlwind the past few months. Our first PCS, job-searching, settling in to a whole new region of our great nation, volunteering, appointments, meeting new folks, THE WHOLE GAMMET! It often seems like there are not enough hours in the day. I'm not even a Momma yet! Sheesh, I can't imagine! Those of you military spouses who have children are my HEROES. Thank you for your great service!!!

I'm a bit off topic, but let me reign it in. Through all the chaos I have been fortunate to make some of the most incredible friendships! Quickly they have come into my life and I'm forever grateful. I'd like to share with you a bit about each of them. The ones who have truly touch my world in the "lately".

First there is Ms. Sonja. She is a foreign-born spouse that daily amazes me with her love for country (ours and hers). She has an incredible servant heart and she gives and gives and gives. She's also one of the single most talented women I know. She has so many crafts to her skills. I am quite possibly drawn to her the most. She challenges me to think outside of my box, and yet loves me just they way I am. She's my WONDERFUL.

Ms. Gen - This is my silly, fun, creative pal who always loves to DREAM with me. I adore her. She was my best pal long before she married into the "officer spouse" space. She loves me for me and I for her. We just laugh and live to the fullest together. Our favorite things to do involve anything complete exotic to us... foods, entertainment, movies, stores, etc. She's my ROCKSTAR!

Ms. Lisa - Lisa keeps me grounded. She keeps my eye on my FAITH. She keeps me trusting in God and focused. But this girl is the one who CRACKS ME UP! I just laugh and laugh with her! Some of the silliest of sillies! We have a kindred spirit to each other. She always has a spark in her eye and I always know when I'm with her I will learn something profound. She's my ROCK.

Ms. Star - This is my big sister. We can talk about anything in the world. She is constantly encouraging me and at the same time letting me allow my spirit to be what it is and take it's own form. I adore her entire family. They all make my soul-shine. Star is my steady voice, my friend, my companion. She is strength and softness all in one stroke. A beautiful piece of art that inspires me daily. She's my SHOOTING STAR.

It's funny how each can fill a different place in your heart. So different they are. I could go on and on about Carla, Vickie, Tara, Ruth, Jackie, Michelle... I just want to be sure to remind you all to thank the women in your life that inspire you, that grow you up to excellence and lift your spirits. The ones who make you laugh and the ones who let it be okay to cry. After all, in the Army at the end of the day it's our "Army Sisters" who just 'get us'. Thank them, and love them well. Thank you for allowing me to share about my loves. I only wish I had more time to tell you about them all.
