# 3 Key: Holding One Another Accountable...6 Keys to Lasting Friendships

Did you watch for opportunities last week 

• to be a friend to someone, 
• carry her burden, 
• encourage her, or 
• spur her on to love and do good deeds?

 #3 Key: HOLDING ONE ANOTHER ACCOUNTABLE

Before we get into this one, can we pray? This chapter isn't the most glamorous of topics and we often times shrink of doing it & receiving it. 

"Father I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, I thank you for this opportunity to read your word and grow in a new area this week and that my new friends will grow too. 

I ask you to help us hear the words of your holy Scripture today. I ask that the blinders and scales be removed and we truly hear the message of truth tempered with love. Please prepare our hearts and open our minds to receive our portion today.

In Jesus' Holy name we ask theses things...
AMEN!!"

#2: Key to Lasting Friendships: Bringing Out The Best in Each Other

How did your challenge go last week? Did you look around at your area of influence and take notice of a woman whose younger or newer in faith than you-

• Were you available to be present for her
• To encourage her
• to be "WHATEVER" God would like you to be in her life for this season?

One of my younger sisters was heavy on my heart as she struggles through some life changing situations. Actually she isn't struggling, 

the rest of the family is, and right, wrong or indifferent she is my sister and 

we all love her and support her.

Wow, what a statement! Originally I purchased this study nearly 10 years ago in hopes of sharing this study with a group of ladies I went to church with. Truthfully I was in no shape or form to even attempt to read the first the chapter. (Funny how after all those years of holding on to this study, the moment is now...LET'S GROW TOGETHER!)

Thankfully I did get permission to share this study online, though ONLY limited parts unless we set up a password protected site. I believe that permission can be honored and at the same time share enough so all can grow from what is shared.

I can see this being a GREAT benefit to those who have purchased the book as well as those who are unable to. 

I have compiled a FAQ page, if you have any other questions please feel free to comment below!

BECOME 

THE FRIEND 

YOU HAVE DREAMED 

OF BEING AND HAVING!

As I watch my 4 year old girl play with her friends, I remember being the same way- we all loved being a part of a group of friends who made us feel special. 

Then we grew up, we got busy, yet the need for friendship is as strong & Real now as it was for us all then.

We need other women:

• Who will be with us in our everyday lives, to share our dreams & hopes
• Give us feedback
• Laughing with us
• Enjoying each other presence
• Or someone to cry with us
