So they just literally opened up their home in a time that I didn't have that safe space.

I was living in a city and it was wild and people knew who I was.

And they're like, just come sit on our porch.

and I would go on prayer walks in their yard, and they would just be there.

And so many times at the end of those prayer walks, at the end of that porch time, they'd just pray for me or ask me what God was teaching me, and it was so helpful, and it was just such a blessing.

And so I think I had had God in a box for a long time, and that was my—

time of busting God out of that box because they were teaching me about the Holy Spirit and asking God to speak to me in dreams and stuff I just never even thought of before.

So that was like mentorship that really, really shaped me in a heavier way.

Now I have three kids.

I'm not always meeting up with people and all that kind of stuff, but I have a group text and you're in it.

And my like mentors are in that group text and it's my prayer group.

And I'll send

very real updates on like what i'm going through what we're walking through and when i send the text i mean prayers just start coming words of encouragement start coming and that was formed through relationships that i've had with people who have said the words i want to pray for you and i'd be like hey will you be in this little group chat and i'm going to be honest with y'all and so most of those people actually i don't think any of them live where i live

You know, but y'all are so steady.

And so maybe it's that for you.

Maybe it's like, okay, realistically right now, I have three kids or life is crazy or busy.

I'm in a stage where I don't know how much I can show up, nor do I really think that the person who I'm asking can show up on that level because they're so busy and they are doing all their things.

But I can be really honest in a text message or I can pick up the phone and call.

Like start doing those things.

And I will say from the younger person, you're going to have to put yourself out there and ask.
