Account-ABLE

After chatting with many Aggie women these 2 weeks, I’m amazed at how MANY want a friendship in which they can be accountable. In Christian circles, this is called an “Accountability Partner”. Sounds super-spiritual? It’s not. It’s friends who challenge each other to growth. This is an absolute priority to have sisters like this in our lives! THEY MAKE US BETTER.
An “accountability” time is not just getting through material, keeping lists, or sticking rigidly to a plan.
A good meeting is always an encounter with the Living God through His people. My favorite times with friends are ALWAYS the times I sense the presence of the Lord, the sharing of His Word, and mutual care for one another. A sense that God Himself has pulled the veil back from Heaven and shown you a picture of what the fellowship of the saints looks like…in the context of His Power.
I was in a Bible Study like this for 6 years and it TRULY seemed that we “saw” God nearly every time we met. He spoke through the book of Hebrews and I Peter in ways that STUNNED, CONVICTED and FORTIFIED us. We left always feeling refreshed…a long drink of Living Water surrounded by trusted sisters.
May we all have this gift in our lives! Search carefully (and prayerfully!) for friends that walk with God, love His Word, and want to become more like Him. Surround yourself with those who bless you and challenge you. Maybe the greatest indicator of a successful meeting is not “what was accomplished” but WHO showed up.

Blessings to you from Him,
Tristie
