Aug. 25, 2007 - The Power of Accountability
There are several like-minded families that we know and we call our little group our sharegroup. At any rate, one of the ladies in my sharegroup put forth a bit of a challenge to join her in attempting a 54 day rosary novena. This began on the feast of the Assumption on the 15th. So after so many attempts to begin saying the rosary daily I figured why not give it a try. And wow - I've done it every night! That is the most number of days in a row that I have ever been able to keep to a daily rosary, EVER! Something about thinking about emailing the ladies and being able to say, "I'm still doing it." gives me the extra push I need to not neglect my prayertime! What a testament to the power of being accountable to others. I figure I need to apply this to more areas of my life. Being accountable to a friend can apply in so many ways - prayertime, homeschooling, housework, working on virtues, etc... So think about it - and call a friend and share what you are working towards! :)
