God brought two mentors into my life in two different seasons. One came during the summer of my life; in the time of childbearing and rearing. I learned how to be a mother and a wife. 

The other came in the fall of my life, when the children were gone, living their own lives, and my husband and I were home –alone.

 

Both of these women gave of themselves in prayer and counsel. They shared their own lives with me as examples of what Christ looks like in the midst of life. They poured their souls out like water before the Lord for me. 

 

The outgrowth of my first mentoring season, is that I became a teacher after my children started school. I teach children. I focus on bringing the whole scope of a scripture passage to them through plays or actions that show what our hearts should be like in response to Jesus and His Word. 

 

I think that teaching children is important. I prepare for teaching. I study scripture and look for the gold in the Word that children need to hear to be lights in a dark world. I pray that if children are well prepared with the truth of God they will be able to recognize the enemy’s lies when they hear them and confront the lies with the truth of the Word of God. 

 

I am involved in an intercessor’s group for an organization called Hearts of Fire. We are praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit here in the NW region; Joel 2:28  “It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 

 

I have been mentoring in the area of emotional healing. What God brings you out of, He makes into a place of help for others. 

 

In the Future: The greatest longing of my heart is to be a Spiritual Mother for the new Christians who will be born again through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They will need discipling. I have the longing for this and am training.
