To start with be warned that a bad spiritual parent will spell a total destruction to a flourishing christian life.
1. There is no limit to what one can share with a spiritual parent if the individual over long years is proven to be totally & consistently godly,holy,faithful,righteous.But if the person has flaws and is inconsistent and carnal then totally limit what you can share.
2.Choosing a spiritual parent requires deep carefulness,lots of time and prayers.However you can have multiple spiritual parents by way of receiving direction and counselling from different people at different times since no one person knows it all.This requires wisdom to know how to ask questions and to discern good counsel from people.
3.Since you are shy, you can approach the person in private when she is going home from church or when she's alone or ask a member or worker for her number.
4. Since you are female and shy its best you relate with fellow women.Shy and unstable ladies always easily fall prey to even so called spiritual men in the church.

Even if you fail to get a spiritual parent at the end of the day,always ask the holy spirit to be your spiritual parent and guardian.

Friend... you don't "need" a spiritual parent. You may listen to and consider the advice of more senior persons, but they are not always right. Look only to The Lord GOD Himself.... "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." -Proverbs 3:6

"It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me." - John 6:45

"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven." - Matthew 23:9

foolish atheist, you cannot disprove the God of this deluded christians and you called your self wise? The thread say for christians only. Keep off satan.

why is it that people in churches are not able to see spiritualy what and how their pastor/prophet or general overseer look like spiritualy?spritual eyes and knowledge is ultimate knowledge ad the people following the pastors and prophets etc cannot spiritually see who they following which should be the light of Jesuschrist Exposing the hidden things in the congregation then means the light of Jesuschrist is lacking in such places because Jesuschrist being the light of the world must expose the hidden things wherever he is and the pastors and prophets are not exempted to be exrayed by followers if they have been empowered with the LIGHT of Jesuschrist?

I believe what you mean by spiritual parent is discipler, a matured christian who can relate with you,counsel you and help you in your spiritual journey. It is unfortunate that in many christian circles, elderly Christians are unable to identify a young person who needs spiritual support to develop otherwise, you would have been identified by a matured christian who should gladly take you into her wings.

I advise you look for a warm christian couple, begin by relating with their children and get close to the family. Alternatively, try and locate where Revival Labours in Lagos (RELAG) members meet. Its a programme by Bro Gbile Akanni. If you don't mind, you can pm me.

You are blessed.
