Friends!! I’ve missed you, but felt the need to step away from this space with weeks of overnight company, cooking and feasting, games and movies, books read aloud, time to simply be with each other, and battling guilt that I wasn’t doing ‘more.’
We don’t see the opening of the teen years as the start of rebellion and irresponsibility. Expectations are powerful. We see it as a time that they’re growing in who they are, growing in honor and responsibility. Some bumps are expected, but we come alongside them, staying close as a loving guide who can see further, a guide who is willing to step in if needed, a supportive guide who l i s t e n s to the desires of their heart as we know God plants hopes and dreams there at a tender age.
