Many of us have heard of older women mentoring younger women, but have you ever stopped and thought about the fact that you don’t have to be a certain age to be a mentor? As teens and 20s, we tend to forget that there are girls and young ladies that look up to us and would love to learn from us. You may be thinking, “But, I can’t be a mentor, I haven’t learned or experienced enoughin life!” Let me share with you a tidbit someone shared with me: “God doesn’t call perfect people to mentor”. Even though we are still considered young women, we can walk alongside some of the girls younger than us, helping them grow in their love for the Lord. With that said, I would like to share with you an upcoming opportunity that I am really excited about.
On October 2nd & 3rd 2009, Cedar Springs Christian Retreat Center will be hosting a seminar specifically focusing on mentoring young women. Women of all ages are encouraged to attend (I believe they recommend 11 and older).
The speaker willbe Amy Vest, who has been mentoring young ladies since she was about 17. She has founded Loving the Lord Ministries to minister to young women in their walk with the Lord. Amy will be coming to share with us how to minister to young women and will even give us the opportunity to practice mentoring through a role-play exercise.
Both days of the seminar are identical, so you only have to sign up for one day. The seminar runs from 8:30 am to 7:30 pm and includes lunch and dinner. Cost for the seminar is $25 per person. For families it’s $50 for mother and one daughter plus $15 for each additional daughter. (Prices are American currency)
As I said, I am really excited about this seminar. God has worked in the life of a young woman and is using her in the lives of many other young women. He has worked in each of our lives and now we have the opportunity to influence the lives of girls for His glory. God is working. I encourage you to be a part of His amazing work!

Encouraging others, building and pulling them up and along toward the things of God, day after day, as long as it is still called "today", with God's promise of Strength for Today and Bright Hope for Tomorrow.
Welcome!
Welcome to Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow! My goal, and the purpose of this blog, is to encourage young women in their daily life and their walk with God. The wonderful hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness, which contains the line “Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow”, has become a favorite of mine as God has given me strength each day to follow Him, and the bright hope for both my earthly future and eternity in Heaven. As Christ brings me strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, I hope you find it as well. Great is HIS faithfulness!
