DAY 10
Affirmation — “For the Sister Bond”
“Our connection is more than shared blood — it’s shared becoming. We’ve seen each other in every season: the laughter, the silence, the healing, the glow-up. I am proud of the woman she’s becoming, and grateful to have been a witness to her growth. Her strength reminds me of my own, and our bond reminds me that love like this is lifelong. We don’t have to talk every day to be connected — we just know.”
Date of Bond:
October 8, 1995
October 21, 1996

She’s independent, resilient, and outgoing. She always finds a way to make things happen, no matter what life throws at her.
There isn’t one specific moment. She’s just my go-to person to vent and talk things through. I know she’ll always have my back, but she also keeps me accountable when I need it.

What’s one promise you’ll always keep as her sister?

“Father, thank You for the beauty of sisterhood — a bond that time can’t break, and distance can’t weaken. Thank You for giving her someone who knows her heart even when words don’t come easily, someone who’s walked beside her through laughter, heartbreak, and every version of becoming.
God, bless their relationship. Let understanding grow where silence once lived. Let grace cover every misstep and love speak louder than pride.
Remind them that they are each other’s mirrors — reflections of Your faithfulness, strength, and joy.
When one feels weak, let the other stand in the gap. When one shines, let the other celebrate without envy. When life pulls them in different directions, let their spirits stay intertwined through memory, prayer, and love.
Lord, teach them to see You in each other — in the way they comfort, in the way they challenge, in the way they love without keeping score.
Let their bond remind them that family isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence.
And as they grow, bless them both with peace, laughter, and the wisdom to always find their way back to each other — no matter where life leads.
‘A friend loves at all times, and a sister is born for adversity.’ (Proverbs 17:17)
Amen.”
