Mentoring

This is going to be a multi-blog post. I apologize to those who read more than one of my blogs, but it need to be shared in multiple places.

Titus 2:3-4 (AMP)
Bid the older women similarly to be reverent and devout in their deportment as becomes those engaged in sacred service, not slanderers or slaves to drink. They are to give good counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble,
So that they will wisely train the young women to be sane and sober of mind (temperate, disciplined) and to love their husbands and their children

Have you ever had a mentor, either through your church or just an “older woman” who taught you how to be a Christian wife and mother?

What about one that was not your mother?

Have you ever mentored a “young woman,” not counting your daughter?

I am asking these questions, because it is another thing God has impressed upon my heart. I finally listened to Him. For the past year He has been trying to get me to participate in the mentoring program at my church. I have ignored His call for this. Well, on Sunday, I went to the orientation coffee. I was the oldest woman there asking to be mentored to. All the rest were college students.

God had impressed upon me that this is a ministry I need to be involved in, and that I needed to go through it on the mentee side before I could mentor young woman, one on one, but that is also part of the purpose for Faith Filled Wives.

I am so excited about this next step in my journey. I think this is going to be a big thing in my life and I am ready to do what He wants me to.

    I got involved in a mentoring program at our last church. I also wanted to mentor but trusted God’s leading and ended up mentoring a younger mother of five boys…and a co-mentoring relationship with another women. It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve had as a Christian Woman.

    Kpjara,

    Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I look forward to my journey with my mentoring. I believe He wants me to be mentored to, as there are many many things that I need guidance in.
