- Am I a friend who is faithful in good times and bad, sickness and health, rich and poor, tired or not?
- Do I speak ill of people I call “friend”? Do I betray their confidences?
- Do my “friends” only hear from me when I need something or am I there to meet their needs as well?
- When was the last time I reached out to someone I didn’t need anything from?
- Do I evaluate relationships based on what benefits they can afford me?
I am extremely blessed to have a few faithful, irreplaceable friends – they exemplify the risen Christ!

Marisa Pereira is a mother, fashion designer, currently runs a Design and Image Consulting business in Atlanta, GA, is a freelance writer and volunteers at her church and in the community. She holds a BA in Fashion Design and a BA in French with a minor in Psychology and has worked in the Fashion Industry for over twenty years. Frustrated at her inability to find appropriate church clothes for her 14 year old daughter, she heeded God’s call, and created the stylish but modest, Michaela-Noel clothing collection, now available on-line. Having lived in multiple countries, she is acutely aware of the emphasis cultures place on visual appeal. She analyzes the importance of presenting the best image of ourselves and passionately insists that it starts within. She regularly addresses adult and youth audiences – encouraging and teaching them to make a memorable first impact but more importantly - to create a lasting impression. Her websites are: www.mpcimage.com and michaela-noel.com.
