“We are family, I’ve got all my sisters with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah...” I know you’ve all probably heard the past hit by Sister Sledge. But I’m not just talking about your sisters that you cross paths with everyday. How about you’re sisters who’ve walked the path to the cross? I have a half sister, Brittany, and I absolutely love her to death. She recently said “I do” this past June, and is now happily married to my brother-in-law, Jeremy. Then you have my best friends—Nikki, Lily, Makenzie, Lindsey, Sarah, Kaylynn, and Millie. They’re all like my sisters, too. But I have other sisters. Long lost sisters I can’t wait to meet someday. Ephesians 2:19 states, “So now you Gentiles (Which is what I am because I’m not Jewish) are longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” So if you’re one-hundred-percent-amen sure you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord, we’re related. That means I have millions of brothers and sisters across the world...awesome isn’t it? It’s not always easy being a Christian, especially being a teenage girl. You see at school on a daily basis. Alcohol, drugs, sex—everyone’s doing it, right? Wrong. There ARE other Christian girls out there, facing the same situations you are. Proverbs 17:17—A friend loves at all times, and a brother (or sister!) is born for adversity. So when life gets rough, remember to stay tough. And we CAN do it...together. Because we’re not just average sisters. We’re sisters in the Savior.

Hey Anna,
That was a great post :)
And I love the new look, and yes, I'll design you a new button -- that is, unless Lany's going to make you one with your new blog design :)
Luv,Emii
Anna, in a recent comment on my blog; you asked me how I got so many "followers" and all I can say is, God did it. It took months and months before people actually read my blog and began to follow it, but even then; it was slow. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and he'll make sure that others will find out about what your doing. Hope that helped!
Hi Anna, Thanks for commenting on my blog! I am so glad you found me! I am getting into this ring of girls that all know each other, and I would love to meet the others! I know, Chelsea (she's the one who found me and helped me find new friends!), Libby, Emii, and now you! I love meeting, as you said, "long lost" sisters!!!! For I too am your sister in Christ! :D God is so good!!! Also, I read what Elizabeth J. said(don't know her, I wish I did though. :D) and I have to say, ME TOO!!! I have twelve folowers, and, I've had my blog for over a year, so, it just takes time. LOVE YOUR BLOG, BTW!!! Wow, that's a long comment. :P Hehehe.
Love in Christ,
