A lot like me in many ways. Many of them professional.
They are the people whom God has placed in my path. I really don't know what else to say.
They have helped me fill in the blanks. Protected me. Made sure that I was put in good places.
I have been on and off. People naturally seek my advice for reasons I can't figure out.

Apart from God, I wouldn't say I have a mentor for every aspect of my life, but the Lord certainly has placed a few in my life for different things.
My grandmother has always been a mentor an dencourager when it comes to faith and my relationship with the Lord. She has always been one that I look up to.
My parents have been mentors to me throughout school. They are incredible parents and teach me how to love unconditionally. Neither were brought up in the Lord, but I have been blessed by the morals and values they have taught me to have.
My aunt has always been one I have been able to go to about personal matters that I wouldn't want to go to my parents or grandmother. She has a way of not judging and understanding. It truly is a gift of hers, she is able to give incredible advice and share her own experiences. The Lord certainly has worked through her in my life.
Currently, my pastor and his wife are mentoring me throughout my studies. It's been an incredible blessing in my life.
I have found that these special people in my life are always there for me when I need support, but the Lord has a way of placing individuals even if for a day to help me in other situations. He truly is a loving God and cares deeply for us.
As far as being a mentor to others, I would have to say perhaps I have fit that role for my sisters and a few friends. I certainly pray the Lord uses me with the kids I work with as well. It's all Him though.

My pastor. Basically he's kind of my uncle I say he is since I've known him all my life as a family friend. He is a Christian man with a good sense of humor who is always ready to help & willing to direct.
Why him? He was dying in a sinful life... & he changed his life completely & now serves The Lord as a minister.
The doctors don't understand how he lives because they told him about 5 years ago that he was going to die in few months & he was in the hospital for a few months.
Now he started a church & he is constantly being invited to other churches. How do you describe that: when this man prays in service to The Lord for those that have faith & need healing there is healing?... Its good to see an example of how we are to serve The Lord so I don't feel scared or far from salvation because with constantl study & a Christian teacher its a little easier. I attend service with him & he is helping me by asking me to speak in front of church & give thanks to The Lord.
I am seen as a mentor by some.

I have mentor, i meet her at church when I attended a class about I'm Jesus Follower. Every day she follow up my spritiual journey with God and i tell everything about my past and she help me to find God. In here for the first time I meet God personal and I feel God is alive in my life. After I finished my class she ask me to mentoring me. For 2009 till now, we will meet for sharing and praying at weekend and we always have communication almost everyday by text message, yahoo messenger, or blackberry messenger. We have intimacy relationship cause from mentoring-discipleship-fathering, she is my spiritual mom in God, I learn many things from her life and she really blessed me. My parents know about her cause she give impact in my life, she really patient to Encourage and guve me some advise Either im in right track ot wrong track when i follow Jesus, when i was wrong she will pull me back on ritght track. Sometimes we have different argument but at the end we can solve it clearly. Recently I'm become mentoring and I mentor one person. In my church we doing mentoring and discipleship.
I do have a mentor... well, several. I'm part of something called a Lifehouse. It's a residence for young adults that acts as a safe environment and a place to keep one another accountable. Once a week "outside influencers" come into our house and speak with us about different topics. I consider these my mentors! I love them all so much. (Trust me, it's not as stuffy as it sounds... these people are my best friends.)
All of the people I have in my life guide me in regular "life" stuff... not just God-related. I was lost without them and they help keep me on some sort of path to success. Haha Plus they add a lot of laughter and relationships to my world! They are people that were originally "assigned" to me, but will be in my life forever!

I have sort of a mentor. We try to meet once a week just to talk about life and have some accountability with each other. I have been discipled in the past, though, and it was an amazing experience. I learned a lot from a guy who had a genuine heart for the Lord and he passed on a lot of his passions to me. I then had the opportunity to disciple someone myself and it was a really sweet experience. I really miss it, actually and look forward to the next time I have an opportunity to do it again. I really think that every Christian should have a "Paul" (mentor) and a "Peter" (someone to mentor) in their life. They're both major blessings!

Do you have one?
Yes, I believe I would use mentor as a description for someone in my life.
What are they like?
The best you could ever hope for. The sweetest, most caring, compassionate person you will ever meet.
Why them?
It wasn't my decision, it was all GOD that put us together. There are literally thousands of miles separating us.
How have they affected your life?
I jumped the fence.I joined the creator and HIS team. how's that for affecting my life?
Are you one?
yeah, sorta, but i'm really pathetic at it. Just trying to be a friend and let it blossom from there...
I need characters, so I will say that you should read my signature...it's right underneath this text.
