can a stage four person be counseled by a stage three? I recently entered into a mentor relationship with a woman at my church whom I became friends with over the past year. I thought this mentor relationship would be a good thing, and I still do, but I dont know how much I am going to learn. She is a very loving person, and very sincere about her commitment to this but I dont know if she is the best mentor for me. But Im doing this for a reason and maybe I can learn something that I would never expect thru this relationship. I hope so. I shouldnt disqualify an experience because it doesnt like the best at first.
