Beautiful Girlhood & The Companion Guide
How do I make TIME to do this?
Right now I can almost hear you asking me HOW do I find enough time in the day to mentor my daughter? Did you know the average lifespan is 25,550 days? We are each given more or less 612,000 hours or 36,720,000 minutes in which to live our lives. Another way to put it is that time is a currency that we choose to spend the way we want. We all are given basically the same amount but the key is how we make use or allocate the time we are given.
My first suggestion to you in regard to the time you choose to spend mentoring you daughter is very simple. Plan a time. Proverbs 14:22b states, "Those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness."
- Look at your calendar and choose a day and time each week that you can start spending time with your daughter. Mark the day on your calendar. Marking the time down on the calendar for all to see has a way of keeping you accountable. By choosing and setting aside a specific time, your goal is clearly marked and easier to reach. Habakkuk 2:2
- Begin your time with prayer. Discuss what each of your goals are. Do you want a closer relationship? Do you wish to create a lifelong memory? Does your daughter want you to learn a specific skill? Ask God to guide you each time you meet. Read Psalms 25:4-5.
- Expect God to do amazing things in your relationship because He is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine! Read Ephesians 3:20
