I heard a pretty incredible story over Christmas Break at a conference. It was about Sammy Davis Jr., who even on his deathbed did his best to pass on what he knew to his apprentice. In a sickly state he arose from his bed and did a tap dance for him. That’s how passionately he wanted to pass on what he knew to someone else.
I feel like if I had the opportunity to be discipled earlier, I would have avoided some pitfalls that I was silly enough to let myself encounter. Now, my friend Rachel has asked to disciple me, and every week we meet and talk about a section of the book of Romans. She mentors me and helps me grow in my understanding a lot! It’s also good just being able to talk about the stuff that’s going on in my life and how to deal with it best, and just learning to depend on God more than myself on a more consistent basis.
I hope one day to feel ready to be that influence for someone else.
