Wow, a few people consider me a mentor!

But though I stand by my first statement of Jared and Continental Admiral, I have tons of people I would consider mentors here and elsewhere in the world, and I don't want to leave anyone out, so, I shall name NONE OF THEM!!!! $\:D/$

Funny you should ask... my two best guy friends' grandpa asked the same thing in a workshop (from our worship conference) today.

This is what I came up with:

Mom
Dad
Jamie (highschool pastor/birth to young adult overseer)
Jeremy (jr. high pastor/youth worship overseer)
Jennie (my best friend)
Ellie (my sister)
Brennan (one of the aforementioned best guy friends)
Chandler (the other aforementioned best guy friend)
Jenny (a leader at church who shares a lot of my views)

I thought of one more! There was the sweetest lady at my church. She didn't have a very good up-bringing, and didn't have a very good lifestyle before she was saved. After she was saved, she had a lot of ups and downs, but once she was firm in her faith, she was the most amazing person I've ever known! Her spiritual gift was definietly encouragement, every time I saw her, she gave me a big hug, and smile. We were pen pals, and her letters always made my day! Even now, when I read them over, it's encouraging.
Now, she had a back problem, and had to under-go a couple of very painful surgeries, but she never, ever complained. She just kept encouraging others. I wasn't the only one, she gave everyone at church a present on their birthday, she corresponded with at least one other girl. She was staying with a family at church, the ones who had brought her to the chapel. One day, Mr. K came home, and found her on the floor. She was taken to the hospital, but she had already died. They thought she may have had a heart attack. That was two years ago.
But she was such a mentor to me, because she was a great example, I don't know if I could be so sweet and uncomplaining if I were in her shoes!

My mom has deffinatly been my mentor. She's always there for me and she encourages me. Another plus is she puts up with me and my sibilings. Also she deals with my dad who is like another kid/teen. She is my hero and she is my mentor. I love her so much, its rediculous!
