So I am going to do something that I have never done before except one time for a very short length of time.
I am going to be mentoring the wife of one of our Renewal Ranch residents. I am so excited. She is precious and we have photography in common. She has a college degree in photography! I was researching tonight about mentoring and it stressed the importance of having something in common although it is not necessary.
I read how we do not have to be spiritual giants--just be sincere and authentic in our relationship with Christ or in other words a heart for Christ, experience in the Christian life or a few steps further down the road than the mentee, and a love for people.
One of my main purposes early on will be to establish what she needs from me--
--a better understanding of the Bible
--a prayer partner
--help in establishing a better devotional life
--parenting help

o, here is what I need from you. Would you kindly, in the comment section or in a private email to me, tell me what you think are the most important aspects of being a Godly mentor?
And if you've ever been a mentor, would you share what about it was the most challenging and what was the most gratifying?
And if you have some outstanding literature that you would recommend, I would be most grateful.
My mentee is already a Christian so we are one step down the path which I hope and pray will be a rewarding one for her and for me also.
One of my daughters-in-law has a mentor that she has had for at least a decade.
Their relationship is to be cherished. That is what I want with mine.
