I believe that I have come a long way in my life. I have overcome some pretty crazy obstacles in my life. I over came running into a parked truck with my bike when I was five. It was a painful experience. Ok that wasn’t that big of a deal, but I have truly overcome some crazy things. The thing is I never did it by myself. First I had the help of God. I know I would be lost without the help of God in every life situation. God has given me wisdom, peace, strength, and endurance to overcome a lot of different things. I can’t thank God enough for the way he has rescued me in so many situations. I also can’t thank God enough for the people that he has put in my life that have help shaped me to be the man I am today.
There have been a number of people that have come along side me and helped me reach my full potential. These men have mentored me. I have been blessed by godly men who wanted to invest in me, wanted to see me grow. I think of my Dad, my youth minister Cody, my high school small group leader Bruce, my college small group leader Jason, and my previous co-worker Nick. These men helped to grow me into a man that I needed to become. Where would I be without them? What would my life look like? I know I wouldn’t be where I am now. I’d still be an idiot. Mentoring is such an important process in the life of a Christian. We need someone to take us under their wing and help us grow. I have always said, try to progress forward every day. Be a better person than you were the day before, and mentoring helps us to do that. I’m glad I had men invest in me. If you don’t have someone investing in your life, you should try to find a person that can invest time for you.
