The Beauty of Sisterhood

Sisterhood .... I've always wanted a sister. Although I'll never have a biological sister, I celebrate the sisters I have in my friends. On Monday this week I had the blessing of experiencing sisterhood to its fullest. My dear friend was having a baby. She had given me the privilege to join her in here journey to bring her sweet baby into this world. I joyfully excepted knowing fully that this would not necessarily be an easy task remembering I have 5 little (and not so little) blessings of my own. Monday morning comes and I answer a phone call .... My friend, baby is coming today! Yeah, so exciting. Now the logistics. A few phone calls later ... Everything arranged and I'm heading to the hospital with my dear friend to meet her baby! I may not have blood sisters but to be a part of a beautiful sisterhood of friends was amazing ... 2 sisters to watch my kids, 1 sister to go with me to care for Levi so I could still nurse him, 1 sister bringing dinner to my family, 1 sister to encourage and support me as a labor support, a room full of sisters to help bring sweet baby into the world and one amazing sister who was the center of this beautiful sisterhood. It was a joy, an honor and a wonderful reminder of how truly beautiful God created us as women.
