I am so grateful for my girlfriends!
I have met some amazing new friends and have kept some of my amazing old friends. And I have learned so much from them all.

The Bible talks about characteristics of good friends in the Bible:
Proverbs 13:20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
-I want to have wise friends
Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Out do one another in showing honor.
-I want to love my girlfriends as sisters and them to love me as a sister, too.
Luke 6:31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
-I want a mutually sweet friendship.
I've been making a list of all the reasons my friends are my true friends. Some are more serious than others. If you have some of these qualities in a friend, you've found a gem of a friend :).
