I met them first at a spa night and I didn't understand why someone was just wanting

to paint my nails to be nice or do my hair to be nice So at first I was

very skeptical of these very loving supportive women rallying around me Um and I had more interactions like that um

in streets hope with them and I was so warmly greeted uh and remembered in a way that I hadn't

been for a long time when I first became paired with my faithful friend I very

much anticipated the relationship to be something of a mentor um mentor leader like relationship I expected to

show up and to be advised on the best way of living you know to be gently

corrected in in ways that I might be a stray and that was not at

all my experience Um I was truly met with a reciprocal friendship my relationship with my refined friend

and with the other ladies involved in refined it represented any relationship I could ever have again and

the relationship with a fine friend is on learning old things while re learning a new

way and it's worth it Mhm The way that the refined women are loving other women

is how jesus calls us to that's how jesus loves us Um The relationship with refined

and women it's setting an example for me for how I'm supposed to go out and

and love other women you know and if I know anything about jesus it's that he loves me and he

wants me to love other people Yeah okay I mean what else do you need from that That's

everything yeah
