My list still contiues on the women I love and appreciate. Women of God, women of power. Here is another woman who deserves to be appreciated and acknowledged by many as we celebrate women's month.
It seems like I attract or I am drawn to shy, soft-spoken,
sweet and reserved ladies as friends. To my list of the likes of Tumie, Masego,
Lebo and Ruth I have another friend whom I appreciate. Her name is Florina Moerane better known as Flo. I named her Flawless Flo (became her Facebook
name) because of her nature and spirit more than just her very light, spotless,
blemish-free skin. Well truly-speaking, I am drawn to different kinds of people
who all have one thing in common. That is the love for God and their pursuit to
constantly be in His will.

Flo and I (2011) |
Florina is her mother’s only child and comes from
Bloemfontein. Hmm…seems like most of my friends are not from Johannesburg.
Haha! I am joking. I met Flo at our church, Grace Bible Church in our Saturday
evening’s services in 2010. We both used to attend those services by ourselves
without any friends. I happened to always sit next to some very introverted
young guy called Mogwera. He was Flo’s friend and he happened to introduce us.

I was fascinated by Flo’s commitment to seeking the Lord and
the things she spoke. She didn’t speak what girls her age would speak about.
She spoke the word of God, His love and as well as marriage. I was also wowed by
her spirit of giving. She gave to those she knew are in need. We became very
close in that year as I saw her daily after work. Flo is a self-employed young
woman.

Flo and a Furry Friend (me in a mascot) |
Flo makes friends easily so she has quite a number of
friends. She is one of the most loyal and supportive people I know. She can
wake up early to be at a friend’s place at 6am to come and assist with
anything. She can stop doing whatever she is doing or finish with her last
client just to get to a friend who needs her presence or help. Flo does not even
mind travelling long distances to be there for her friends. All her friends are
her friends and not treated differently or have any special rights. By that I
mean she is a friend indeed who is there when her any of her friends are in
need.
Flo is quite an
introvert, does not like texting or chatting much on social networks so she
would rather make a call which some people can take advantage of. I have gotten
clients through her as well and she is another loyal client of ForeverFaith
Couture. Whenever she thinks of a new dress she calls me and I am happy to
serve her as she is the easiest person to dress.

Flo's friend Tumisho with me and Flo |
I really appreciate having this young lady who is as young
as my youngest brother as a friend. She is one of the ladies who stayed up the
whole night with me before my wedding while I was still finishing the groomsmen
garments. She is the one who did my hair together with Ruth Mofokeng the night
before my big day. She did my make up within 5 minutes and did my nails on my
way out to the matrimonial service. I can never ask for more or less of a
friend like her and my prayer for her is for the Lord to protect her heart
because she is such a giving person. She gives so much of herself without
expectation and I pray God rewards her for that. I thank God for Florina.
