Good evening everyone!
I am literally just across the road from Ft Meyer. Anyone going?
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Stay safe, all!
Road Trip time, thanks Lauren!
Bible in a Year: 2 Kings 1–3; Luke 24:1–35
As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you. 2 Kings 2:6 Who do you think of when you hear the word mentor? For me, it’s Pastor Rich. He saw my potential and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He modeled how to lead by serving in humility and love. As a result, I am now serving God by mentoring others.
The prophet Elijah played a critical role in Elisha’s growth as a leader. Elijah found him plowing a field and invited him to be his protégé after God told him to anoint Elisha as his successor (1 Kings 19:16, 19). The young mentee watched his mentor perform incredible miracles and obey God no matter what. God used Elijah to prepare Elisha for a lifetime of ministry. Toward the end of Elijah’s life, Elisha had the opportunity to leave. Instead, he chose to renew his commitment to his mentor. Three times Elijah offered to release Elisha from his duties, yet each time he refused, saying, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you” (2 Kings 2:2, 4, 6). As a result of Elisha’s faithfulness, he too was used by God in extraordinary ways.
We all need someone who models what it means to follow Jesus. May God give us godly men and women who help us grow spiritually. And may we too, by the power of His Spirit, invest our lives in others.
Who are mentors that are currently building into you or who have built into your life? Why is it vital for us to mentor others in Jesus?

Did you have to keep Giz on the leash again due to crowds or did you have the lake to yourselves yesterday?
It looks like you got lucky and the raucous weather has stayed well north of you overnight.
There were quite a few people out at the lake yesterday.(Waurika Lake) We did get to go around unleashed in the grassy area behind the boat dock at Chisolm Trail Park though.
It’s probably going to be busier out there for a while now that it’s warm again. Who can blame everyone for wanting to hang out at the lakes? :-)
At least you have an area where he can run unleashed and have fun.
