Fostering Friendship
Sarah N.
We are five women who have formed a friendship that has lasted 10+ years, who rarely fight, always treat each other with grace when we do disagree, who don’t try to use each other for selfish gain, and who don’t judge each other for being “real.”
Do we sound like magical unicorns?
Maybe we are. We actually have had people question how we manage to be such successful friends. But we see ourselves as totally normal people, who are made stronger because of the friendship we have built.
And we did BUILD our friendship (and continue to build it). We didn’t grow such a strong relationship by accident. We are who we are because we intentionally tend to and foster our friendship.
Sure, we take fun girls’ trips and shop together. But we get to enjoy the good times because we made the choice to be there in the bad times.
We’ve seen each other at our lowest lows and at our highest highs. From births to deaths, to a lot of life in between, we choose to put ourselves aside and love each other the way Jesus loves us.
Our desire for this blog is to share with you some of the things that have helped us grow closer as a group and stronger as individuals. We hope to show you how fostering friendship looks for us.
