Girl Talk: Laugh Together

In my opinion, one of the things girls do best together is LAUGH! You can catch us sharing funny stories over dinner, or giggling at the check-out line together. We know how to have fun, laugh until we cry and can be just plain silly with each other. And it’s okay - more than okay. It’s enjoying life together. It’s making memories.

Girls, it is so important for us to spend time with girlfriends laughing and enjoying life together. There are so many ways you can ‘set the scene’ for a little fun: Girls’ Night Out, run a 5k together, check out a movie, tell funny stories or jokes over dinner. With a little extra planning, you could organize a sleepover, rent a log cabin for a night, or take a road trip together. There you have all the ingredients you need to get started; the rest just comes natural.

The key is to purpose to do it. Purpose means to set as an aim, intention, or goal for oneself. We all have crazy schedules, along with 50 other really good excuses about why we can’t, or don’t have time. But the old adage is true; you will make time for what is important to you. And Girls, this should be important to you. Why should this be important to you?

Jen had this to say in Girl Talk: “I don’t want to breathe my last breath filled with regret. I don’t want to say, “I wish I had …” I want a life full of memories and albums full of pictures. I want my old, wrinkled, gray-headed girlfriends to sit on the porch with me and laugh about our adventures. I want to show my grandchildren pictures of me and my friends standing in Times Square, arms linked. I want to run this race for the prize of unity, laughter, and a fully lived life.”

I want that. I want no regrets. I want friends to the end. And I want to leave a legacy for my daughter to have godly girlfriends who will love her, laugh with her, and go the distance with her until the very end.

Don’t you?

It’s never too late to start living life to the fullest, and making memories you will cherish forever. I’m praying for you this week; that you will purpose to make it happen! And although I can’t see your beautiful faces, God sees, and He knows exactly what you need right now. I trust Him to minister to each of you right where you are.
