Mentors

This week in my Developing the Focused Life class at Rockbridge Seminary, I really had to do a lot of introspection. The week’s instruction dealt a lot with the need for mentors in our journey. To be quite honest, this is an area that I have been lacking. I have never actively sought out a mentor, or at least someone that I specifically keyed in on specifically for a mentor role. Yet the bible gives tons of examples of the mentor/mentoree relationship when God is calling someone to something.

First Bite Complete

Question: How do you eat an elephant?
Answer: One bite at a time.

I’ve always loved that quote, though I’m not really sure where it comes from. What it means for me today is that I have completed my very first seminary assignment. That’s one down with about a million more to go. Okay, so I might be exaggerating a little bit on that one, but who knows. Either way, I’ve just finished my first bite. Now it’s on to the next bite.
