So Sarah and I have made a commitment to each other this year - Intentional Friendship. What does that mean? For us, it is the agreement to set aside time for each other twice a month for accountability, sharing, learning, and just catching up and having fun. Admittedly, there are days I would so much rather just go home and crash in front of the TV, but by the time we're done with our evening and I can head home, I feel refreshed and encouraged.God is really blessing our commitment.
We tried this last year, but it didn't work out like we had planned. Life got in the way - work, ministry, family - and we didn't follow through. This time is going to be different. This time we're not trying to do this alone. We have enlisted the assistance of a very mentoring couple in our Life Group at church. They have permission to ask how we're doing on our commitment, and have agreed to help us if we're having difficulty keeping it. God never intended his children to live life alone or work through it by themselves. When we enlist the help of those we love and trust, we can encourage each other along the way.
