New and need accountability
Hi DW and Everyone,
My name is Shelley, I live in a suburb of Philadelphia, PA. I'm new here also, and have the same problem as DW, I need prayer and someone to bounce questions off of, that sort of thing. I'm not sure how much time I can devote to be online, or even if anyone here would be in, or around my age group. I'm 56 years old., I'm desperately seeking an accountability friend. I need someone who can not only define accountability, but also explain to me where and how Christian friends play a part in helping to provide accountability. Do you or anyone here know about the subject of accountability?I'm a fairly new born again Christian (2005) I'm trying each and everyday to grow in my Christian faith. It is hard. The Lord is telling me I need to become more open and more friendly, but by nature I'm terribly 'guarded'. I need help to open up! I feel God is leading me in this direction. All my life I have been terribly introspective. Lately,I feel God is showing me an actual little box in my heart with a door which has my name on it and asking me to step outside of the box.And become a friend to SOMEONE! Have any others here ever experienced God's calling you to be a less selfish, less self absorbed person? I really hope I can find someone whom I can open up to on this board.Seems there are so many people here from all over the world, and of all ages. I just want a Christain online friend! And I also want ot offer freindship,and prayer in return!
Yours,
Blessings!
