Appreciating My Mentor (Glenda)

January 11, 2012 By: The Card Sender Category: Random Acts of Kindness

The other day my mentor Glenda went to spend eternity with Jesus. I was shocked at the sudden death and in some ways, I am still in shock. Saddened by thoughts of not having her as a sounding board to share with. I also felt a little angry. It seemed that our mentor mentee relationship was to brief. I found myself selfishly wanting to ask God “why”. Then it dawned on me.

My mentors death was not about me. Her life was precisely placed in my path by God. Our paths meeting at the crossroad was never by accident or coincident. Our lives had been a planned connection. Our destiny was intricately woven within each others journey. We were supposed to meet. I am so much better for having been in her presence. Thank you Lord for your plan.

I’ll probably never understand death, nor do I think I want to. I thank you Lord for helping me, to meet great people that teach me about living.

In appreciation for my mentor (Glenda Foster-Oney),

Warmest Regards,
