One thing this year that God has really shown me is how important the role of a mentor is in my life. God has blessed me with so many amazing women of God to model my life after.
God has refreshed me so many times by my amazing youth group leaders! He has allowed me to meet new role models and stregthen my relationships with old ones. :) I don't care if my hair is messed up around these people, because I know they won't judge me and love me for who I am.
This year at church summer camp one of my favorite people, Hannah Dean, my youth leader and mentor went as a camp leader. And I must say she made it the best year yet! She encouraged me, laughed with me, did crazy fun things with me, helped me grow my faith, and loves me no matter what. That to me are the signs of a GREAT mentor.
Last year God blessed me with getting to know the fabulous Laura Milner. I would have never met her if she would have not decided to help out in our j-high youth group. I'm so thankful God put her in my life. She is such a blast! And a great voice of wisdom in my life.
I want to be a great mentor like these ladies. I pray and strive to be like them. What qualities make up a great mentor to YOU?
