Selvaggio post #2
After I graduated Eric and I still maintained in touch. We meet every Wednesday in the Summer and we pick a book of the Bible and we read a chapter and take notes then when we meet we discuss what we learned from it. So we would meet at the same place and just pray before we started talking. Then we would go over what we read and then just discussed it. After we talked about the passage we then would talk about life and what is going on in our lives. He invested in me, but he also was vulnerable and told me what was going on in his life. This made a big difference in how we met. Because for me I always thought a mentor relationship was one sided and that they would just ask about my life and how I'm doing. But he made a two way street which I think made me more vulnerable and wanting to share. Our meetings slow down during the school year because he teaches and I am at Wheaton, but we still meet once every couple months to make sure we still maintain our relationship.

Theo,
ReplyDeleteThat is really great stuff man. It is awesome that you have found someone who is so committed to pouring into your life like that. Don't take that for granted and take advantage of meeting with him. Being vulnerable with one another is super important in order for your relationship to truly develop on a deeper level. Keep grinding.

ReplyDeleteThat is amazing that God has placed Eric in your life. You two seem to have an amazing relationship. I hope your relationship continues to grow and you can take full advantage of the times you and Eric have together. God has big plans for you and I can't wait to see how God works in your life.

Theo,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear about your relationship with Eric. I am glad that you have someone that you can be vulnerable with and talk about your faith with. Thanks again for sharing. I look forward to hearing more.

Theodore,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight to your mentor relationship. I really think that you are a stud and keeping up with people once the proximity between the two of you gets further apart can be very difficult. I reckon that since you've prioritized the relationship so far that you two will probably be able to stay close for a while.
Love,
