Honest?

Mandi and I end our accountability questions with "Have you been completely honest with me?" Not because we think either of us would lie, but it's important to ask.  I think it's easy to leave something out that I would rather not share with Mandi sometimes.  It's harder to tell a bold-faced lie and tell her that I have been completely honest with her.

This happened last night.  We got to that question, and I told her that yes, while I had been honest in everything I said, I had one more thing that I wanted to share with her.

It was a result of God's prompting, and as much as I didn't want to tell Mandi, I did.  I listened.  Had Mandi not asked that question of me at the end, I might have chosen to not listen to God and not tell her what I know I ought.  

I'm glad she asks me that question, even though 9 times out of 10, the answer is just, "yes."
