How do I know what I’m supposed to do? It all starts with who I am!\n\nOne Friday morning I woke up went out to the garage and started working on some furniture for our living room. Fast forward to an hour later when I was sitting in the ER having nearly cut off my toe. The problem was rooted in using the wrong tools for the job and being ill-equipped for the potential dangers of the task. If I had a higher respect for what could happen, I wouldn’t have been wearing flip flops while using power tools in the garage.\n\nThere is always a danger in using a tool in a way that goes outside of its identity. Ever use a crescent wrench as a hammer (let’s be honest, we use everything as a hammer!) I once used a pocket knife to unsuccessfully pick a lock (yes I still have the scar on my finger). Ok, yes, I have a track record for confusing a tool’s identity with its intended purpose because I’m lazy and don’t wanna go get the right tool out of the toolbox!  \n\nWhen we respect and value our IDENTITY as children of God, we make better choices when considering our intended PURPOSE in life which is to worship and serve the Lord! That, in turn, gives us confidence to care for and speak into our mentees’ purpose.  \n\n--\nPlease follow @youcanmentor on social media and give us a 5 star rating!
