Inspirational Power Punch!
Holiness does not mean long dresses, no makeup, no jewelry, or no fun. Holiness means wholeness, healthy, fulfilled, full of unspeakable joy, and available to God. Holiness means you love what God loves and hate what He hates. Holiness means you are pliable or flexible to His will. Holiness means trusting God to give you what and who you need, even if that manifestation doesn't reflect what you think you want! Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God has plans for us that are going to bless us beyond what we can even imagine! However, in order to receive it, you must surrender everything. Come on, Sis, risk having nothing for a moment, so that you can have it all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Do You remember..
That tea party you prepared for all your little doll babbies when you were six or seven? Do it again.
But this time:
- Invite one or three or ten real sisters--sisters in your family or "sisters" in faith.
-Clean like Martha--or at least until you can find the tea pot (& the stove)
-Plan impractically like Mary - or at least impractically enough to ignore for one afternoon the calories in the crumpets or pie
-Make a centerpiece that proclaims "Sisters Together, Sisters Forever."
-Then welcome your guests & laugh together until tear stream down your cheeks and no one ever wants to leave.
-Thank Jesus for sister & friendship!
Friendships That Last -- Connected by Grace
