A few months ago TODAY'S CHRISTIAN WOMAN asked Cheri Mueller and me to write an article about faith-filled friendship. After days of parlay and debate (even arguing) over the topic we came up with our take. Our piece was ultimately titled SOUL SISTERS: 4 Ways To Foster Spiritual Friendships. Even after it was printed, though, we still felt as if defining soulful friendship was like trying to pin the wings of a butterfly.
It makes me wonder:
- What's your take on faith-filled friendship?
- What sets soul sisters apart from other kinds of friends?
- What defines spiritual friendship?
- What makes it a quintessential part of our lives?
- How do you define soulful friendship?
I'd love to hear from you. So, please join a Girl Talk . . . God Talk Conversation by sharing your ideas here. Jot down your thoughts by posting a comment on this entry during January. Share a sentence, share a story, share a paragraph, or two, or twenty. My assistant and I will choose several of our favorite comments and include them in a blog entry on February 1, 2008. I'll also post the complete article, SOUL SISTERS: 4 Ways To Foster Spiritual Friendships (along with a hilarious FRIENDSHIP QUIZ that accompanied it in TCW) for a Valentine's Day Post.
If your entry is selected for the February 1st post, you'll win a free copy of GIRL TALK . . . GOD TALK: What Your Friends Can Teach You About Prayer! (If you already have Girl Talk, we'll send you The Bible Is A Girls Best Friend: Experiencing a Fresh Encounter with God's Word, or Walk with Me: Two Friends On A Spiritual Journey Together.) Any of the books, by the way, would make a great Valentine's Day gift for a friend!
Thanks for joining the conversation,
Sally
