| We all need a person we can count on. |
Do you know people who don't ask for help when it's needed; or who accept information from misinformed people; or who hardly receive wisdom when it's given from wise people? Sometimes they want to do their own thing and nobody can tell them nothing. I can almost guarantee that such people make lots of mistakes that can be avoided.
I used to be that person.
Grasping for straws in the dark. Asking for advice from fools. Of course I did foolish things as a result. The blind leading the blind.
A total hot mess seeking direction from total hot messes.
What a mess.
Now I'm wiser and I'm all the better for it. I have an awesome accountability person who has helped make me a better person. She has been my confidant, my wise bounce-off person, and a non judgmental friend. Just a few weeks ago I text her at 5am in the morning and asked if she could call me when she got a minute. I was having a hard morning that day. I was expecting a call a few hours later, which would have been understandable. I mean she does have a family and it was 5am. But she called me right away. I needed to talk to someone I could trust with no biases and that's what I got. That conversation did so much for me at the time and I felt so much better about my situation.

Everyone needs a person in their lives with wisdom, who's trustworthy, and who doesn't make us feel funny or regret disclosing personal sensitive information to them. Accountability people or whatever one chooses to call them, are important for our growth. In fact my accountability person also has an accountability person -- God's people helping people. Nobody knows everything and no one is always right about potential decisions. If we don't have a person in our lives we can get a second opinion from then it's possible we're playing Russian Roulette with our decisions with a probability of 1 in 6 of making the right decisions. That means we will make the wrong decisions most of the time.
