Yesterday was a fun day, I met my mentor liason for Youth Villages yesterday and was interviewed/ trained. I am excited about the oppurtunity to be a mentor to a teen in the foster care system in Jackson. I have been praying about this for while, and God has made it possible for me to do what i enjoy doing, hanging out with people who do not have the chances that i and many others have. It is going to be fun, and challenging. I am ready to meet my mentee.
The reason i have decided to be a mentor is because I really want to invest in a child that is in a bad situation, i have the strong desrire to show the love of Christ to "the least of these", i need experience for the job market after december so i can hopefully land a job in the psychology field and hopefully the place i work can pay for my LPC lisensure, to get my fix of "romania" while i am dilegently waiting upon God to say ok it is time to GO while i am in America- this oppurtnity is right down my alley because of the situation in Romania with the orphans and homeless, and above all to declare GOD's Glory to a child that does not neccesarily have the chance to see it.
So i ask that you would pray with me as i begin a relationship with my teen, and also know that i can not share any information in accordance with "hipa" laws, So i ask that you pray for my teen, and pray that he would see christ through me, and come to faith if he already has not! and if he is a follower of christ that i would be able to disciple him into a deeper relationship with Christ!
Thanks for reading this, i appreciate it, until next time
Let the Glory be HIS!
Had to go on and do it....

So were you actually accepted as a mentor -- wow, it must have been some good references. :) But hey seriously, I will be praying -- I know you won't be able to share and I know there will be stuff that you want to ask for prayer, but remember Romans 8:28 -- the Holy Spirit will intercede...
