If like is a balancing act, then why do I feel so clumsy? Have you ever felt clumsy at life? Oh please, tell me you can relate.
Is the act of tripping and falling a reoccurring theme in your life, as it is in mine at times? It’s those days when you wake-up and before your feet can hit the floor you already seem off balance in attitude, speech, or thought. How are you suppose to juggle those moments? Or how about when there’s too much on our plate and we’re frustrated and exhausted?
There seems to be so much to balance that I’ve learned I have to have accountability built in to my life to maintain a steady juggle. But have you ever noticed that the accountabiity you build in to your life always seems to come back to you on the wrong day — the day you don’t want to hear about it.
Yes, while you try to ignore the art of juggling well that’s the day the friend says . . .
where are your goals,
is your attitude a little off today, or
I haven’t seen you write in awhile.
While having accountability is not always fun, I do treasure the gift of those precious loyal friends who can speak into my life for the better. Today, I count them as blessings.
91. a friend who stretches me
92. a friend who encourages me
93. a friend who confronts me
94. a friend who believes in me, more than I believe in myself
95. a friend who cries with me
96. a friend who struggles along side me
97. a friend who walks beside me on a long road
98. a friend who will help you find your balance again once you’ve fallen
99. the friend who knows when you’re down and stretches out a hand to help you back up
100. the best Friend of all, Jesus, who forgives and forgets when we stink at juggling
Thank you, friends, you know who you are! Linking up at A Holy Experience counting precious gifts today.
This season of my life feels a bit clumsy but, like you, I am thankful for friends that remind me of what my focus should be. Thank you for putting in our minds the importance of accountability.
Rhonda – yes, those friends are priceless in our lives. Those we can trust with our goals and dreams and they can help us focus. Blessings

I loved this list, Alene! (and yes, I’ve been there too!) This is so true: “the accountabiity you build in to your life always seems to come back to you on the wrong day — the day you don’t want to hear about it.” You obviously have a lot of wonderful friends who look after you — what a blessing!
