1. Both me and my mentor got to do some deep digging within the scripture that we went over today mostly about who we are and who we're suppose to be.

2. I do now. I didn't before. I always thought that it was such a hard question and it needed some awesome answer but in reality, it's simple. I was made to glorify God in everything that I do.

3. We are still focusing on my time management. But she told me something and it's just amazing.

"My life is a gift from God; what I do with it is a gift to Him!"

1. The best part of the mentoring experience this week was getting to share with each other verses that have been an encouragement over the years and have reminded us that God has a purpose for our lives and wants to share it with us.

2. Yes, my purpose as a follower of Christ is to worship him in all I do by loving God and loving people.

3. Today my mentor and I discussed devotional life and how God is using that time to speak new truths to me.

1) My mentor told me the story of how she knew what she was supposed to do for her life and the journey she took to get there. It was encouraging for me to know that it took her awhile to know what she really wanted to do so it is okay that I am not sure right now.

2)Yes I know that I am supposed to make disciples and to love God and to love others. What I am having an issue figuring is how I am supposed to do that. I know I want to do missions and I feel like maybe something with youth girls but I am not sure. I am still trying to figure out what I am supposed to with my life and how I am supposed to glorify God in what I end up doing.

3) We talked about all of the goals this week and how I was not doing good really in any aspect and it kind of made me want to get on the ball and do better~!!~

1. I really enjoyed reflecting over the scriptures today with Lowell. We each had unique perspectives on the scriptures and how we can apply them in our own lives.

2. We both agreed that as Christians our Biblical purpose is quite simple, just to love and have a relationship with God and love others and tell them about your relationship. We only have trouble when we try to discover how that specifically looks like in our lives. We must always be willing to simply align ourselves with God's will and not stress about following every single little step. As long as we our willing God will help us discover our purpose.

3. We returned to the whole idea of how God will strengthen me as a leader as long as I ma simply loving him and loving others and I am willing to be shaped by him.

1. Both me and my mentor had unexpected things come up last week that prevented us from meeting during our regular time to discuss the lesson of the week. However, we were able to spend time together at Special Olympics and I was able to have dinner with her and her daughter Saturday night. Although I did miss the one on one time we usually have talking I really enjoyed getting to spend time with her and her family.

3. We are continuing to focus on my future plans.

We met and discussed my week.

I know that God is calling me to be a beacon of light to those around me, but as far as his specific plan for me, I can't say I know right now.

We discussed looking into the book "A Purpose Driven Life" and studying it as a way of meeting some of my goals

1. We had some discussion on the scriptures and what each one meant to us and why we felt that way.
2. Yes, as a Christian, God calls us show His love to others. Sometimes, I struggle on finding the way that God is calling me to show His love. We each have certain ways that benefit the most.
3. We are focusing on God's specific calling for me and figuring that out!

1. We really dug into the scripture that was provided for us in the lesson. I really found some scriptures that can help me daily.

2. I am getting closer to discovering my purpose and through some experiences I have had as a witness (which I shared), my Mentor is helping me learn how I can use myself as God's will.

3. My goal is to keep allowing God's timing to be my own and to be okay with that.
