It's an adventure being a mom to teenagers. They want to be grow but they want to be taken care of also . When it feels like its a no win situation I am so glad I have a compass in the word of God to show me the truth. You can't get much bigger than the creator of the universe to ground you and remind you that the stability of your sanity is intact, and you are so doing an amazing job at parenting.
Seeing my girls go through struggle and tension of growing up I wish I could take the hard stuff away, I wish I could do it for them. Standing my ground and not being run over by the Mack truck of attitude is a challenge for me, time is too short to live with regret of missed opportunity and cowardliness in discipline. Someday I want to be their friend, right now I'm mom, I will always be mom but adding friend will be fun. The struggle is worth it when I see them succeed, they are so far ahead of where I was at their age.
Proud mom moment when your teenager texts you an apology for a stinky attitude, with in minutes not days!!!
Wouldn't trade this mom gig for anything in the world.
Fast or slow life is going to happen. Big time or tent city you have to do this thing called life. Sharing my steps,missteps,joys and tears is my goal. For you to bust out of ruts, think differently. My story is being written every day by grace and so is yours. Thank you for reading be blessed.
Mack truck is right!!!! lol but you are also right that when they succeed it is one of the best feelings in the world.
