I totally agree. Especially in our “addictions.” We definitely need to be real and raw — first with God and then with a trusted believing friend who can walk with us through those dark places. He’s so gracious to give us one another. Hugs to you, sister.

The enemy is a liar. Always. We need one another. God designed us for community. I guess there is a place for wisdom. We do need to stay cautious that we’re not depending on others more than on God. Seeking Him first and foremost. But! We were definitely designed to be in community, encouraging one another and carrying each other’s burdens.

A lie that I was a burden to the person that I consider my accountability partner, who tells me the truth and speaks truth into my life. Often times I am in a hole when we talk and she helps turn my eyes to Jesus. So vital to keeping me on track!
