I have a friend. A very good friend. She is loyal. She is faithful. She is loving. She is supportive. She is fun. She is a listener. She is beautiful. She loves Jesus. 

When I read the Project 31 prompt “Write a Blog to Encourage Another Beautiful Woman,” I knew God was leading me to share these words with my friend, Brittney. 

Britt, thank you for being an example of what a good friend should be. I know I can always count on you to be there, and I am learning from you what a true friendship looks like. You have stuck by me through a lot, and I am eternally grateful. 

I want you to know I love you, and I pray for you often. God has a beautiful plan for your life, Britt. I have every confidence that He is working in you in a mighty way. He’s taken you through ups and downs, and you’ve followed Him faithfully. I am excited to see what awaits you and Nick around the bend. Just keeping holding onto Jesus. He will carry you.

I am inspired by your perseverance. You show this strong quality in every aspect of your life–and it is truly an example to me and to many others. Hold on to that hope you have within you, knowing God is act work.

Thank you for being my friend.
