It really doesn't matter your age, but rather are you following the command to make disciples and in the process be held accountable by someone to help guide you along.<BR/>I think there's 3 layers to all this. I'm 56. I'm actively discipling girls and women younger than me. There, I'm the older woman. Then I have a group of trusted friends - peers may age or close - we are in the same life stage. We hold each other accountable and encourage one another. And then I am the younger woman. There are some Godly Christian senior women that I like to meet with. They have taught me so much about never giving up, never retiring from "the ministry" just because you're older. I see the value of the wisdom of these precious saintly sages. I'm blessed to have their wise counsel in my life.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476239476912894265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635761.post-33813644176155755282009-04-06T10:28:00.000-05:002009-04-06T10:28:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing; I discovered you At The Well &...Thanks for sharing; I discovered you At The Well & have enjoyed your blog here now.
