When I was in my late teens, I was a bit of... a mess. I was struggling, yall. I was making poor decisions even though I was a believer and knew the truth about Jesus that set me free. Thankfully, when I met my first mentor, things started to turn around. By the time I graduated high school, I had straight As, prom queen title, a full ride to college, and most importantly, was walking with Jesus... okay, stumbling along with Him...

I went off to college, and things went a little downhill again. Why was I in this vicious cycle of right and wrong?! I felt just like Paul when he said in Romans 7:19, "I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway."

Yes!!! That was me!!!

Fast-forward fifteen-ish years, and I realized where I went wrong. I was trying to just "wing it" and figure things out on my own [a.k.a the hard way] when I could have been seeking wise counsel and asking for help. My stubbornness wasted me some of the best years of my life, and looking back, I would have done quite a few things different.

When I was younger, my mom would always tell me, "One day when you have kids of your own, you'll understand." I still don't have kids, but I do finally understand. I understand the value of experience and wisdom. I understand how much you learn when you "walk in it yourself" and then look back. I understand how helpful it is to talk to someone who's "been-there-done-that."

I want to share what I've learned in hopes that you make better decisions as a young woman in the best years of your life. I want to be the mentor for you that I wish I had ALL of my younger years (and not just when things were goin' good.) I want to listen, encourage, direct, and guide you God's way—not my way.

I want to pray you forward.

The future launch of PHF mentorship will be a free pilot program! For those interested in "trying out" online group mentorship and community, we want to hear from you!
