Why the number 7? I played softball back in the 70’s. I was actually a pretty good pitcher and I hit a home run or 2. I was voted MVP! My softball jersy # you might have guessed by now was #7. My good friend Sherry’s grandpa used to call me lucky # 7. I loved that time in my life and who doesn’t like the #7?
Why accountable? I have been a Christian for 33 years…hum…that is an interesting # now that I type it! My confession is that I find myself on a roller coaster of having a faithful quite time with purposeful prayer and Bible study. I have 1 constant Bible study motivation in my life. I have taught a weekly ladies Bible class for over 12 years. We just started a new study two weeks ago… What Happens When Women Walk in Faith. We have been challenged by the author Lisa Terkeurst to ask God what purpose or dream do I have in my life to bring him glory. The key to knowing God is time spent with Him. So, here comes the “accountable” part…..I am going to journal right here on what is popularly known as blogging about my time spent in God’s word. The accountability part will come from knowing my friends and of course my precious husband, Gary, (who by the way has me hooked on reading several blog sites) will be checking up on me to see if I am following through with my desire to really search God’s word daily.
Blessings and pray for me,
Patricia aka to the blog world…..accountable7

Great first blog. I am really proud of you. The fact that you want to grow closer to God and be open for all to watch and read, encourages me. That may have been one of the reasons I married you. Have fun with the blog!
