Early Mornings......
"Who's on your team? Who knows you well enough to glimpse your potential as it emerges? who can nurture and encourage you for the distance so that you become the person you were meant to be? We need people who will help grow us into who we really are." Chris Hodges { Fresh Air } <------ Click there
Accountability is a wonderful thing, especially when it comes from a sweet friend.
I love that above quote from one of the books my friend and I have read together, who is that trusted person that can be by your side praying along with you, in every season of life?
Every Tuesday at 5, yes ehem, 5:00 AM, (I still think we are crazy) ....before work starts, before babies wake up that are home with their daddy, my friend Hannah and I meet for coffee, time in the word, and holding each other accountable with all things in life. Things such as business strategies and marketing, meal planning, ministry work, working out, house projects, making sure we prioritize true rest. We talk about child raising, books we want to read together and mission trips.
How sweet it is to have a friend to remind each other to pray for the current and the future things in life :) If you have not heard of these books in the above picture please Click Here!
Having a prayer warrior friend that I meet with on a weekly basis has changed me so much, and is continuing to. God has used this time to push and sharpen me, to really live out what Ephesians 2:10 says "For we are Gods masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
I love how Jesus modeled by the twelve disciples the importance of choosing those to share your heart with, your life with, your hardships and your joys!
I am just blessed enough to share this with a long time friend on Tuesday mornings, and other dear friends who God has hand picked for me!
Who is that person in your life? Its so easy to let time go between catching up, or be together and not be intentional with your conversations, I know we at times have to reign in our conversations ;) But I would so encourage you to pick a good read, or a book in the bible and read through it together, you can meet for coffee or set up a phone call chat, depending on your season of life. Even for those who are wives, sometimes the men in our lives can only handle so many 2 + hour conversations, but us girlfriends sure can! Its been such a wonderful gift in my life and I hope it will be for you too!
I just love this song by Ellie Holcomb!
Have a great week!
