My mama’s heart hurt for my 14-year-old daughter as we drove to her last soccer game of the season. She had been a starter the year before, but for whatever reason, she had been a bench warmer this year. A few new girls had joined the team, but she didn’t feel like they were any better than she was, so she questioned the coach’s judgment in keeping her on the sidelines.

I  left our church’s youth group meeting with my heart heavy and my soul feeling burdened. I rarely leave feeling anything but joy and contentment. I find our meetings are usually filled with laughter, bonding, and a mutual excitement for Jesus. But this night was different.  My original lesson for the evening centered on sharing faith in real, tangible ways. We talked about how important loving others is, how growing up and walking in faith is hard, and how Jesus wrecks us in the best ways possible. The girls had great, albeit it difficult, questions for me surrounding these things.

I was turning into a woman who deeply desired to reach out and minister to the young women in my sphere of influence. It…

I’m curious, what do you think of when you hear the word mentoring? Actually, before you read any further, would you mind leaving a comment or drop me a note to let me know. I’d love to hear your perspective! Maybe you’ve figured this out already, but mentoring is something I’m super passionate about. Yet I remember a time when the word made my stomach turn. I know I’m not the only one that shares that feeling. But I wonder if it could be for all the wrong reasons. What do you think causes the squirm factor?  Is it because there is a…

The graduation announcements are beginning to arrive on my desk as my students joyfully proclaim to the world that they only have a few more weeks of high school left. And in two years I’m sure I’ll begin receiving college graduation announcements as my first group of mentees will celebrate another milestone in their lives as they prepare to launch into the workforce. I remember my own high school and college graduations. What a time of excitement and fear all bundled up together! I couldn’t wait to start the next phase of my life, and yet I was scared stiff.…
