accountability.

hello beautiful princesses of God!

i hope summer is going wonderfully for you! here's a little recap of our final lesson last sunday. (btw, it was beautiful!)

accountability is a mutual promise to hold someone responsible for their choices &help them be the person God has called them to be.

basically, an accountability partner is the person that helps you be a better person!

keys to accountability

(there's always a reason behind the choice)

authenticity

(be real)

consistency

courage

(it's a tough job but it is so worth it)

patience

(look at the person not the mess up)

trust

(care about the person)

encouragement

(hug instead of scream)

prayer

(God is the ultimate person in charge)

perseverance

(nobody is helped with lies)

(it's not about who's better, it's helping each other)

ephesians 5:8-10

you groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. you're out in the open now. the bright light of Christ makes your way plain. so no more stumbling around. Get on with it! the good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

you're not the same person you were when we started small group.

your faith has grown as well as your knowledge

don't fall back to who you were before

take what you have learned &use it!
