I've mentioned a few times that our God's Girlies family has grown with the addition of some young ladies who have it in their hearts to serve our preteens through mentoring.  One Thursday a month, one of these fabulous girls will be highlighted. That which is being shared comes from an application each girl completed.

Rebekah is one of these lovely girls.

Your testimony:

I was saved the summer I was going to sixth grade.  I was at Preteen camp and there was just this feeling of completeness when I finally accepted Christ.

What made you want to be a mentor?

I really wanted to do it because I wish that I would have had a mentor when I was that age; someone else to talk to.

A Bible verse that has had great meaning in your walk with Christ:

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest. 

Take my yoke upon you

and learn from me,

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls. 

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30

What is something you wish you had known when you were a preteen that you now know after growing in Christ and maturing in your faith?

I wish that it would have been stressed to me about not going to your friend for everything. - Just go to God first.

Pray for our mentors as they grow in their walk and live out their faith.  If you see one of them, hug their necks and let them know how thankful you are for their witness.  I know I'm thankful.

 If you have something to share on "A Thursday for Your Thoughts"

Preteen girls, moms, aunts and grandmas, remember that "A Pumpkin Project" is this Sunday at 3:30 in Edu 102 where Rebekah and Brittany will be leading fifth grade girls and up in our devotion.  Don't miss it.
