As a Christian parent, don’t fake it. Let your kids know when you're in over the chin and then watch as GOD shows up to prove Himself faithful.
The reality is sometimes you are the only one able to keep moving forward, and it’s your turn to lead. When you start to wear out, God will send His refreshment.
Let’s stop apologizing for the clarity that comes from living for and in Christ.
The irony and absolute absurdity of our faith is in the moments we ‘feel ‘ the most powerless and ineffective, God shows up in our circumstances to super-charge us. Parents and spouses, get ready for a super-charge!
It’s remarkable how similar the process of “crisis-containment” can be for a sixteen-year-old as it was for a six-year-old, and it’s critical that we as parents are ready to wipe the tears and blow our magic breath back into the wounded pieces of our teens.
Raising kids up and into adulthood can be one of the most rewarding and most painful experiences a parent will ever face.
