In a conversation with someone, I was reminded of the reality that bringing ourselves into some form of accountability is never easy.  You agree to pay the price tag of privacy…which is not cheap.

As I have both enjoyed and been uncomfortably stretched through accountability, I have found it in several scenario’s.  Through Heidi, as my wife, she brings accountability as she gets to see me “up close” and see’s faults/weaknesses like no other person in my life.  Then there is they guy I meet with weekly who pokes and prods, encourages and corrects as we share how our faith and life are meshing together.  Finally there is my L.I.F.E. Group.  As we have been together for just over a year, trust is being built and lives are being shared.

These are not fool-proof ways to grow, but at times difficult means of making sure that my life is a part of something bigger than Dan Cornell.  I hope that your Christmas celebration was deep and meaningful and your New Year is full of Christ’s work in you and through you.

“God delights in diversity. Humans tend to find it a ‘problem’” (The Word & Power Church, Doug Banister, p. 117). I find this to be true for me and have seen it to be true with others. We like to be comfortable and get into a small group setting with others that are “like” us… you know… normal.

Well I have also found that when I am stretched, although it may be uncomfortable, God begins to help me grow in ways I probably wouldn’t have in my comfy setting. Contact me if you are not in a L.I.F.E. Groups, would love to help you meet others and grow together as we live out this life with a Kingdom mentality.
