Accountability Circle







Accountability is the most recent theme in my life. I saw a quote on my friend's Facebook page awhile back. I had a conversation about accountability with that friend yesterday. I received an email yesterday from life coach, Lisa Nichols. The subject read: "If someone's not checking up on you, they should be!"

After reading the email, I brushed it off. I, then, started to find reasons not to have an accountability partner. I immediately named about five reasons why I didn't need a partner. Usually that means, it is something I need to do that would make me uncomfortable, so I fight it.

Lisa's email, today, gut punched me. She simply said, "get comfortable being uncomfortable." Really, God? Okay, You have my attention. What should I do? "Sit still. Believe." I cried and just gave God thanks, thinking 'I can do better'. As I drove to work, still uncertain of what else to do, I just let Him consume me; feeling safe, warm and loved like my dad was holding his little girl (how I miss that). Once at work, tear-streaked face and all, my assignment was even more clear. The prayer circle was to be resurrected including ten ladies. I invited the names that were given to me...
I batted .900, but it is a circle of ten.

I sent the following message:
Morning Ladies! Welcome to our Prayer/Accountability Circle. Thanks for linking up! I charge each one of you with holding me accountable.
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23 KJV)
Lord God we seek a pure heart. We pray for a breakthrough in 2015 so we can go next level in our faith & lives! Make Your vision plain! Have a Worthy Wednesday. Peace & Love.

Reasons for an accountability circle:
1. Responsibility
+
2. Inspiration
+
3. Commitment
+
4. Growth
+
5. Encouragement

= Success

Though they don't know each other, each one knew me at different stages of  my life. I am so curious why He chose them and His plan for us. I cannot wait to see how God connects them.
He has a purpose.

Communicate. Character. Capacity.
