Ok Will after i had finished reading a book Your not on your own- By Jason Perry. He had talked about getting a mentor.

I was thinking when I was reading this do I have a mentor?
Is a mentor someone that you can just go and talk to them when you are having a bad day? Is it someone that you look up to? (Well I know that learned it a few months ago)
Me and my mom were talking and she told me I need to find myself a mentor. Someone that would catch me when I fall, or well tell me what I’m doing wrong type of thing.
I was thinking about the people who I have looked up to thought the years or months and only one or two people come to mind.
One of them is the lead sing of a City of refuge- He is a strong Christian that I can see, he cares, when I'm down he makes me smile, he BELIVES in me( unlike someother pepole), with my school he just tells me that i will get it next time, and he give some of the best advice, and sometimes i do need it, and one thing he is there when i need someone to talk to, there are times that I just need someone to talk to and if hes not busy with his work or that he well listien and try to help me, i dont know why but anythingi have trouble with i go to him, he wont try to hurt my feellings he will just be there for me to trun to. His music has touched my heart like... Brooke, Covered, Clear.

People that know me like my sister. I use to look up to her and that but I don’t anymore because she as gone so far from God how can I grow in Christ with her ( I wont tell you all she has done) and she just never has time for me anymore. She hhangso ut with her so called friends and she just is not there for me anymore like i cant ask her for anything anymore its has been like this for a while all she care about is her arrongant b/f who is a big Jerk, and i cant say nothing because i never get to talk with her or that anymore :-(
With my sister she doesn’t believe in me. Like school she doesn’t ever tell me good job ,she tells me but she doesn’t mean it. That’s hard she said that I won’t graduate because I can’t pass TAKS. and a sister is not supposed to do that. My mom has more faith in me but no-one in my family is a Strong Christian. so I can’t look up to no-one in my family so I have to go to some who I can look up.
Someone that I can talk to
Someone that will help me out with my faith.
The other person I think that could be my mentor is Paul,
With Paul he goes to my church and he’s about 27 a little bit younger then the other mentor I might have,
with Paul I can ask him something and he will tell me what he thinks he doesn’t give me false information if he doesn’t know he will tell me he doesn’t know and I’m like ok.
But The first mentor I can talk to him almost every day... and with Paul I might see him once a week.
I don’t know who to have a mentor.
How do ask someone ... I don’t know why but when it comes to things like this its hard for me to just go out and say it

With me i dont have those "TRUE FRiends" all the so called friends i have during school yes we have small talk but outside of school no-one talks to me and yes it hurts me becuase it hard enough for me to make friends and that so yes i could have a mentor that can also be my friend. I think that would be great for me.

Well if you can just help me out how should I ask because i think i know who my Mentor i ( the frist person)..
if you could just helpl me out I think im going ask him when i see him.

I think it's really good that you want to have a mentor. I'm proud of you because that shows a spirit of humility and a yearning to do right for Jesus.

A mentor for you NEEDS to be a strong woman of God. Someone older than you, of course, mature, grounded in the Word and willing to give you some time. This should be someone who will not criticize you when you fall, but gently pick you up, let you know you are loved, let you know (kindly) what your error was and then help you back on the right path. If you don't know anyone, ask your pastor for a recommendation.

Mentoring is a ministry. Being mentored is a blessing! I'm praying for the right woman of God to come into life. You have to remember that she is human and may make mistakes, not be perfect, and not always live up to your expectations. But if you have grace and display and spirit of acceptance and forgiveness if she makes a mistake, you will truly be blessed. Please get back to us and let us know. I'll pray for you.

Titus 2:3-5

3The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
