Life Support

I had a conversation with a friend of mine last night, and it makes me think and question about the role of relationship in the church. We both had commented that we would love to see a " woman if wisdom" come into our lives and speak life into it. As I was reflecting on my life as a Christian, I have had no one who has been an undying support to me and my ministry. I am wondering why that is. Titus 2: 3-5 speaks a lot about the role of the older women teaching the younger women.  I would love to see that model in every Christian church.
Do you have a woman who is your " life support?", that speaks into your life and encourages (and challenges you) to be a better woman?
