Without a doubt, one of the best decisions that Barry and I ever made after we got married was to find a set of mentors. My only regret is that we waited so long to do it. Having a set of mentors is a smart decision for any couple…..they give you advice, hold you accountable, and they pray with you when you need it. Plus, they’re really awesome to have around for fellowship.
Our mentors are Roger and Lori Holbrook. They just so happen to be Barry’s kin, so that’s a nice plus. When we asked them to be our mentors, I was really nervous that they were going to say no…..but we were blessed when they said yes. We hold Roger and Lori in very high esteem – they are a blessing to us. When Barry and I aren’t sure about something in scripture, we ask them. When I don’t know why Annie is behaving like a wild native, I ask Lori. When I’m worried about something, I ask them to pray. When I need someone to give me a hard time, I go over to Roger’s house.
