God made us sisters, Hearts made us friends

Sisters are some of the most wonderful people God could've ever created. Every relationship between people is special in some way, because no two relationships are alike. You talk about different things, you joke about different things, you act a little differently, etc. Sisters are special. Their bond is like no other. Just like my bond with my sister, Bethany Jade. Wow... Bethany Jade. With such a beautiful name as that, she must be gorgeous! I bet you're saying that to yourself right now. And guess what! You're completely right! She's beautiful. She's so beautiful. The next time you see her, tell her that she's so beautiful. So often, as Christians, we tell ourselves to love people because of who they are on the inside. And, yes, that is so important. We need to love people for their hearts. But, sometimes we're so focussed on looking on the inside of a person, that we forget to tell them how beautiful they are ON THE OUTSIDE TOO!

HELLO! God didn't just create the inside of a person, he created their outward body too! And there is NOTHING wrong with celebrating that. So, anyways, I totally went off on a different tangent than I had planned. Back to the sister topic...

My sister is amazing. We have a most unique relationship. We're far enough apart in age to get along really well, and close enough in age to still have a lot of similarities in where we are in life. Bethany is great. We can go for a long time seeing each other not much more than just in the morning before we go to work or school, and still talk about deep issues when we finally get the time. It's like no time has passed since the last deep conversation. And when the two of us get together, we are SO crazy! We laugh alike, joke alike, say the same things, talk in (fake) different languages and ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND each other... and all that jazz. When people see us together, they know we're sisters. Well, that or they think we're straight from a mental institution. Close enough. We're so alike when we're together, but so incredibly different when we're running our own separate lives. It's weird, but it works. God has created us specially for each other. I couldn't have asked for a better sister. We're two peas in a pod, we are. I can't say that I've always appreciated my sister, sometimes I just get plain annoyed with her. But, we get over it. We move on. And I thank God for my sister. Because without her, life just wouldn't be as sweet. I love you Bethany. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
