“Buddy check!” Do you remember the hot summer days at the city pool when the lifeguard blew the whistle and you had to scramble to find your buddy? In the back of your little mind you were scared to death that someone was going to be discovered at the bottom of the pool, or that your buddy was in the bathroom and didn’t tell you and you were going to be in big trouble.

How about doing a buddy check in your life today. Who comes running to your side when life’s whistle blows?And who is on YOUR radar? Who do you call when you realize you haven’t heard from them in a while? It is important to cultivate the crucial relationships in our life. We need each other.

Proverbs 18.24 says, “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” This is your buddy check friend.

I have a few of these kind of friends in my life, and I hope you do, too. They are rare and special. Without them, we might stay stuck in our setback. When they are running by our side, we feel like no one can stop us.

I’ve been talking a lot about my DreamMaker’s club because I believe in dreamers, and I know what it takes to work for a dream. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen alone. We need coaches with experience, and we need friends who will cheer us on. If you believe in your dream, invest in it. Schedule time with the right friends as if your dream depends on it. And keep dreaming…

    While I wait for my Jonathan David covenant relationship, I rely on the “Perfect Friend, the tireless, selfless, all-conquering, all miracle-working Friend” and even after I establish an earthly relationship He will always be my best friend and first love!!!!!
