as iron sharpens iron proverbs 27:17

I have been trying to find the right words for this post for about a week now...the way these ladies in my life have just blessed me is humbling and all I can say is I love each and everyone of them to pieces and in honor of all of you and your amazing families... :)
I have had the privilege to be surrounded by some AMAZING women these last few weeks. These are women that I aspire to be and I'm thankful I get to live life alongside them. I'm excited that I get to live life with them. You may not know the same women I do but I know you "know" them, you have them in your life.
These women help me grow daily...As iron sharpens iron, right?...They inspire me to be the best me I can be they encourage me in the daily struggle that is being a mom to my awesome boys and a wife to my wonderful husband, and the calling I have on my own life.
We look to scripture to learn how we are supposed to be, how we are supposed to live. How awesome is it that in our lives we have living pictures of women who are striving to live up to this call and purpose.
This women are strong, fierce, bold, compassionate, loving, servants who see need and are quick to act. They look for ways to reach out to those who aren't as fortunate as them. To those who are hurting they wrap their arms around them, they pray for them and they try to fulfill needs they cant during their grief. They pick up the slack when your week isn't going great. They encourage, lift up, and help maintain accountability in friendships. They help restore your faith in people. They surprise you. They love deeply and fully. They struggle, they live very real lives, sometimes messy, very imperfect but they demonstrate Jesus.
OH how boring and hard life would be without these ladies in my life. I literally cannot say enough good things about them, words cant describe what all they mean to me and the crazy thing is...I know they would say the same about me and they probably wouldn't realize I'm talking about them, because we don't often see the good in us. We are our own worse enemy but you know what these ladies are simply amazing, oh. so. stunning, selfless, life affirming people. They give so much life, its an honor to be a part of the iron that sharpens.
For all of you wonderful women...Thank you! I love you beyond what words can say and I literally don't know what I would do without you, you are all special, stunning individuals and I'm oh so thankful for each one of you that God has placed in my life. You all inspire me!!
There is no doubt that God has intertwined all of us together, for this season (and hopefully LOTS more).
As iron sharpens iron so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17
so thankful to call you friends
