I was all set to write a blog about Day 60 of my Bible challenge and how I had an awesome weekend, full of good food, bad basketball, ball rolling and reading. But i changed my mind this morning.

This morning I got an email from a young lady who is in college. She has the same major I had. We have sort of become friend over the past year or so. I recently helped her out with some stuff and she sent me an email to thank me. She also wrote something very strange. She said I was a great person and she considered me a mentor and she hopes that she is like me someday.

Come again?

I am 24 years old. I have a degree in sociology. I work at a dead end job (an emphasis on the end part) where I get payed peanuts. I try things alot, and often fail. I do alot of things okay. I do nothing perfectly. I am not a perfect person. I am not a perfect wife. I am not a perfect Christian. I do not smile enough. I don’t always see the bright side. I laugh at inappropriate times. I am a terrible singer. I like to read, but I would much rather read Harry Potter than Charles Dickens. I don’t do things right all the time. Not even close. Yet this girl sees me as a mentor.

That’s so awesome. But here is what it makes me see. I need a mentor myself. I may not be all of those things myself, but I want to be, because I know this girl wants to be. I have never had a mentor before. I have had people I admire, but never a mentor. They have always seemed sort of like those weird “life coaches” to me. But if I am this girl’s mentor, then they can’t be all that bad, right?

So who is your mentor? Tell me about them. Also, I am totally taking applications for my mentor
