My passion for as long as I can remember has been 3 fold:
- · To be used by the Lord- (even as a young teenager I actually wrote a song about this….and would sing it in the shower whenever I was overwhelmed with life.)
- · To move forward in growth—I have always wanted to grow and would often irritate people because I was always asking questions about EVERYTHING. I claimed Jeremiah 33:3 as my life verse because it said, "Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
- · To impact other women—As long as I can remember I have desired to help women want to be used by the Lord and to grow in their own walk.
“A mentor is a trusted counselor, guide, tutor, coach” Donna Otto, Scottsdale, Arizona.”
“Someone who shares God-given wisdom with someone else on a regular basis with the aim of encouraging that person in bite-sized bits to live a life that is pleasing to God.” Paula Scantlebury, Fairfields-Sunnyside, England
In other words, Mentoring is the giving of oneself in a relationship building format.
I especially love Paula's definition because it is something I know I can take in and develop.
Consider today how you can impact others and please ask God to give you one bite-sized bit to share that He gave you this past year.
Start the New Year considering your mentoring goals. Take up the challenge to make a difference in the life of just one other woman who needs a bite-sized bit of God’s that He has given to you to share.
You may very well be mentoring and not even know it.
Have a great week!
