I was recently confronted with the idea that the term Iron Rose Sisters was exclusive, not all-inclusive because it refers to a specific ministry and not to Christian sisters in general or broad terms. I bristled at the comment and was stung by the possibility of its reality.
With all that I do through and for Iron Rose Sister Ministries, I hope and pray that it includes every woman that wants to be encouraged in her spiritual journey. With the image of us being unique roses and God as the ultimate gardener, we can take advantage of a visual reference, like a parable that uses an earthly example to explain a spiritual matter.

Two of my Iron Rose Sisters. Happy Birthday, Maryellen![/caption]
Makeover Monday is a great opportunity to makeover the way in which I refer to Iron Rose Sisters. Every woman is always welcome and invited to serve as iron sharpening iron, to encourage and inspire each other to be as beautiful as a rose in spite of a few thorns. If I ever say or hint otherwise, I encourage you to be my iron sharpening iron and let me know. Thanks!

Becky, Michelle, & Pam[/caption]
This past weekend, one of my college roommates, Becky, came to Denver with her family (husband and three kids). One of my other college roommates, Pam, her husband and their four kids live in Greeley (about an hour north of Denver). And the final of the four roommates, Mandy, lives in North Carolina with her husband and daughter. Mandy was very disappointed she wasn't able to join us this past weekend.
Every time I get with any of these three ladies and their families, I am blessed to spend time with people that know and love me - that have known me from early on in my spiritual journey. We remember those fun times in college, but we also honor and recognize where God has brought us to at this stage in life: a place that is unique for each of us.
Who can you honor today wherever they find themselves on their journey?
