A WETV Throwback: For The Bestie Who’s Always There

This throwback to our “Messy Connection” series is something I wish we could all do a lot more of. There are so many moments when a friend, trusted with an audience, shines brightly—but beside her, there’s always a sister who keeps her grounded. The one who stays level-headed, steady in her faith, and ten toes down no matter what comes their way. I had to take a moment to give flowers to my bestie, and I want you to do the same. Share this video with someone you know who deserves theirs too. Let’s honor those who hold us up in ways that often go unseen, but are always felt.

you definitely want friends who are

where you want to be so you said

something about you know you didn’t want

to be around people who were in the same

the same Circle as you the same

predicament you want to have friends

that can take you above where you are so

in certain aspects I have different

friends who are who are in different

levels or higher levels than where I am

so that I can push myself not that I

have any type of jealousy or I want to

be where they are but like you said Co

God is showing me what’s available to me

or where I can go and having friends at

higher levels helps push me out of my

comfort zone and that’s a few guys even

Courtney hearing you speak at your

company about diversity and things that

helps me too because um public speaking

that’s something we everybody’s having

to do especially in quarantine so that’s

something I’ve been stepping out of my

comfort zone doing even more and I

appreciate you all for helping push me

out of my Nest it’s my

pleasure Courtney I have to tell you

that one of the things I admire about

you that I hope to continue to just

apply to my life is your loyalty your

consistency and your stability like you

are the one of the most

consistent stable loyal focused people I

know and I know that you always talk

about like how you don’t have to like be

on the front stage like you don’t mind

being behind the scenes but a lot of

people say that and they don’t really

mean it and it shows up in how they’re

envious of other people people and I

can’t imagine that it’s always easy for

you to be in that position but you stay

there in such a way that makes me make

sure that I’m showing up as someone who

is as consistent as loyal and doesn’t

have a need to even take a little piece

of the spotlight you know but to really

allow people to have their moments

you’ve been so great at allowing people

to have their moments and I feel like

honestly I I wasn’t planning on saying

this I I feel like there are so many

moments that you have allowed people to

have and for every moment that you have

allowed people to have that God sees

that a seed for you that it is you

sewing into the moments that you’re

going to have and you’re going to get

them consecutively when it happens it’s

going to be like God I thought you

didn’t see me God I was there for

everyone else I didn’t know what was

happening and that God was actually

saying I had your Spotlight I had your

moments all on reserve I feel that for

you for real

oh you always got a word thank you don’t

you start I didn’t need a lot I don’t

need a lot I

will I will go out how do you do that

though Court like who do you have to

become in order to remain that

consistent and stable I honestly think

in my friendships I give what I didn’t

have that I desired in my

family so I I I don’t know how else to

like describe it like as loyal as I am

to people that how I wish I had for my

family the the trust that I have with my

friends that’s how I wish I had with my

family the communication that I’m

learning to continue to have that’s

something I’m evolving in um is what I

wish I had there and so I guess I’m just

rebuilding what I felt like was a void

that I lacked in in being intentional

and doing that in my friendships I don’t

want to continue to be this woe is me

this or oh you know in spite of this

like I want to be able to live out

everything that I’ve always desired that

I felt I lacked in other people so I

can’t be upset that I can’t trust my

family or that my family wasn’t loyal to

me if I’m not demonstrating that to

others and so I feel like that’s kind of

why I do it wow I love

that me too well it shows and I stand by

what I said you’ve been so great so

consistent
