Mentor
So, I think I'm fine and then it all breaks loose. People have talked to me about a mentor before, but I never really gave it much thought. The interesting thing is, that as I get older I realize my need for one and my desperate lack of one. I'm in a bind and really sense a need for an older wiser person to whom I can be completely honest and who is firm in their relationship with Christ and can give me wise answers. I mean, I'm sure they won't always have the answer, but they can at least get me thinking or warn me against stuff. So, I'm in a bind, one that I would rather not explain here, and I have realized that I really need a mentor. I don't know what to do and I don't really know who to go to. I've thought of a couple people (a couple being 2) but I don't feel like I know them very well and I'm afraid that would get in the way of me being really clear and open. But I don't really know how to go about finding a mentor... Any suggestions?

Weeellll see . . .
I think you should pick someone wise, who you respect, and even if she's not too close to you, you'll have to talk to her. See . . . it's hard to befriend older/wiser people and get that close without being intentional, because we feel insufficient.
That's how I feel about it, anyhow. I have to MAKE myself be honest, even when I feel ashamed.
Anyhow, that's my word in. I'm here for the ranting, the rambling, and the praying. Love you.
