My Sister

I cannot begin to express just how thankful I am for my amazing sister.  God truly blessed me when He planned for us to be in the same family.  She has always been my sister and has become my best friend over the years.  The way our relationship has grown and evolved is only by God's grace.  I think it was destined from the beginning that we would be close.  We were born just 18 months apart, became followers of Christ not too far apart, and even got married within a year of each other!  I was so relieved to have her close through that whole process.  She was encouraging through the hard times and always there to giggle at the fun times.

We are approaching a new chapter as sisters though.  This one may be quite different than all of the others.  Yes we made a smooth transition into marriage.  We were able to split our clothes evenly and understand that we would need to make dates with each other since we now had husbands.  This next part of life, mainly for her, will be so different and I can't help but think it will be different for me too.  She will now be a mother and I will be an aunt again!  This means she will have another priority in her life and it may be harder for us to get together.  I know that our friendship will continue to grow, but sometimes its just scary to face new seasons.  This sounds selfish of me and maybe a little weird but we have gone through things together most of our lives and I guess it's just a little weird knowing we aren't going through this one together.  I love her so much and can not wait to meet this new creation.  My hope is that our friendship will grow even stronger through this process.. and that Brian and I will get to babysit lots (of course after gma and gpa have been asked already:)).  And I look forward to the day that we will maybe be pregnant at the same time!
