Sisterhood

Have you ever watched the movie "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?" It's based on a book by Anne Brashares. As four best friends are about to spend their first summer apart from each other they decide to stay connected by passing around a pair of jeans which seem to fit each of them perfectly despite their different sizes.

Proverbs 31:25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

Sisterhood or brotherhood is women and men who share a common bond (spiritual or otherwise) despite their ages, past experiences or backgrounds. They offer wisdom, spiritual guidance and the safe space to speak your truth. They love you compassionately and unconditionally and accept you as you are without judgment. How many of us are in need of this? When you think of your friends who would you say is apart of your sisterhood or brotherhood?

Proverbs 31:26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

The best part of sisterhood is the magic that takes place when each of you is able to be vulnerable and let your guard down. By doing so you allow your sisters to know how they can pray for you and help you through the tough times in life. Everyone deserves to have a sisterhood that you can share your life's journey with!

My prayer is that God will bless each woman young or old with this kind of support system. Ladies who love you, support you, encourage you, pray for you and cheer you on when you need it most.

Proverbs 3:17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
