Mentoring

Is it time to gain your confidence to live a life of impact?

Recognizing and Embracing My Influence in the Everyday

By

Back in 2014, at the Allume blogging conference, I attended a breakout session called Being a Trailblazer given by Anne F. Downs. In it, she spoke about investing in the next generation. I laughed, I cried, and it seemed everything she said resonated with me. That’s because I have always had a heart for youth ministry. The funny thing is that although I felt called at a young age to work with teens, I have never actually done it. On and off throughout the years, I tried to get involved in various youth ministries, but it never worked out. I couldn’t…

The Coming Alongside Part of Mentoring

Does the word “mentoring” sting your soul, reminding you once again that you’ve never felt more alone? Have you longed for someone to speak into your life and invest time into you personally? Maybe you’re an older woman, sincerely hoping God would slow down one single younger gal long enough for you to connect with her in an authentic way.     Oh friend, no matter how you feel about mentoring, you’re not alone.

I had written exactly one sentence and one word when my newest son toddled over, put his hands into the air, looked me straight in the eye and said, “Up.” I sighed as I closed that journal along with my Bible and picked up that precious baby.

I did not second guess my choice. That one sentence and one word were the first I had written in…

Have you struggled with longing for a mentor? Do you wish someone would step up to the plate, in the way you think it is happening in someone else’s life? Are you ready to have the empty chair beside you filled with someone who really cares and is willing to invest in your life over the long haul?   Oh friend, you’re not alone. I’ve heard this heart-cry time and time again, and I’ve experienced it myself. But I’ve also discovered that often our longing for a mentor is something God wants to fill for us, if only we’re able to look…

Mentoring Hearts, Not Just Perfection

Mentoring Hearts, Not Perfection

By

That lovely spring evening was begging for a family outing — the kind in which you forget the budget and seize the moment to walk down to the local fro-yo place. But what began with most pure intentions for innocent family fun soon became a trip steeped in doubt over my value as a mentor and my potential as a mom. As the wheels of the stroller rolled over the newly refurbished sidewalk, I couldn’t help but notice the names carved in the cement. They weren’t just any names.
