Dear God . . . Why did you make me a girl? I think I'd like it better being a boy!
Oh Carren, I think you're wonderful just the way you are! God made you with your own special gifts and talents! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. The business world says, "mentoring is key" for passing along wisdom, training and self-confidence to achieve success. The same goes for the life of a child. A caring adult can make all the difference in the child's future. Don't let the idea scare you off. If you've ever taken a child by the hand and patiently helped him tie his shoes — you're a mentor! If you spend time helping a child with homework — you're a mentor. Now take it a step further — and do it on purpose! This is Wess Stafford. Be intentional — speak up with compassion to a child in your world.
