The Sister Pact

I feel that as I am getting older, my circle of female friends are getting smaller. I mean its o.k with me and doesn't really bother me much because sometimes less is better. I use to think that all my buddies (male and female) from high school will always be my buds forever. I found out that was a lie! It is not until presently that some of the friendships I've made while in college and maybe a few high school friends would be the most lasting. God has a way of placing people in your life for a reason and at times for a season.
He weeds out those who are after to see you fail or just unnecessary in your life. Most importantly he reminds you that he is the greatest friend of all who will keep you connected with his V.I.P.P (very important peculiar people) that will keep you in the path that destines you into greatness. You could read Titus 2:14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works. As well as 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 

It is indeed possible to have a positive friendship with females (and of course males). Although the media displays that female circle of friends are either filled with drama, are jealous of each other, conniving, violent and calling each other out of their God given name. There are real friendships in the real world that are not even like this at all. I don't want to place most of the blame solely on the media but we can admit that some of the women share in that responsibility. We must be careful who we consider our friends and whom we associate ourselves with because it can be a reflection of your character to others. Even the bible gives us advice on this: Proverbs 22:24-25Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Proverbs 12:26 One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. Proverbs 13:20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.Proverbs 14:6-7 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding. Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge.

I believe if we are an encouragement to one another, becoming honest with each other or even take the time to be there for each other then that will make for a great lasting friendship. God has truly blessed me through the years with my friendship with others. He has surrounded me with able minded folks who are achievers, go getters, full of ambition, intelligent and beautiful inside and out. This is my sister pact.
