We're Sisters

Several years ago I had the opportunity to sing in a fireside.  One of the songs that was part of the program was Cherie Call's song "We're Sisters."  The lyrics describe women in different places in life, with varying  longings and goals.  But when it comes down to it, they are all sisters.  They have the same BIG goals.  This is true for all of us.  We want our families to succeed.  We want to feel loved.  We want to know our Heavenly Father knows us by name.

I just got to my motel room after enjoying the concert performance at BYU Women's Conference.  What I feel inside, more than ever, is that truth: WE'RE SISTERS.  We might have different daily roles.  Some of us work inside the home, others outside.  Some of us are married and others are single.  Some of us have lots of money and some of us don't.  But when it comes down to it we are all living through our own trials and challenges, to refine and shape us.

I feel so blessed to be here.  I'm rooming with a sweet friend, her sisters and mothers and you know what?  We're sisters!  They have taken me in as one of their own and we are learning and growing and laughing together.

I want to publicly thank my husband for watching our three kiddos, including our 10 month-old Sam.  I told my kids I was going to "mommy school," to learn to be a better woman and disciple of Christ.

I have so much I'm excited to share with you on this blog!  I am learning SO much.  Best of all, I know my family can succeed.  I feel loved.  I know my Heavenly Father knows me by name.  Enjoy Cherie Call's song lyrics below...The Gospel is true.  I consider all my readers my sisters and brothers.  Take Care!
Love, Eva

We're Sisters

Artist: Cherie Call
Album: Women of Destiny, Volume 2

It's Sunday morning
In this little town
With people waking in houses everywhere
And there's a woman in a kitchen
Eating breakfast all alone
While another one is putting ribbons in her children's hair
And many drive away to the church house down the street
While others stay at home wondering what they all believe

And we have more in common than we ever choose to see
We care about so many of the same things
We all belong to all one Father on high
But we hardly think of that as we pass each other by
We're sisters

Maybe you're the woman sitting in the front row
Singing praises to the Lord on high
And maybe I'm the one all the way in the back row
Who hardly sings at all and isn't there half the time
Maybe you'd think that we would never get alone
That I'm a hopeless cause
But you'd be wrong

We have more in common than we ever choose to see
We care about so many of the same things
We have a Father who loves all of us the same
Don't you think it'd be time that we asked each other's names?
We're sisters

Some of us are 80
Some of us are 20
Some of us are hungry
Some of us have plenty
Some of us are lonely
But few of us would be
If only we could see we are a family

And we have more in common than we ever choose to see
We care about so many of the same things
We all belong to the same God above
And we all have things to learn about that redeeming love

We're sisters
Let us love and lift and pray for one another
We're sisters.
