[tempus vernum]

I AGRee 100% abt boundaries and abt internalizing. it is hard. But I’m still working really hard to give it to God. I’ve recognized at a certain point it becomes their responsibility to work out their faith with us to offer prayer and guidance.


Something I recall all the time is that judging a parent based on kids behaviors and beliefs is like judging Jesus based on Christians behaviors and beliefs. For a long time as a 19-24 I rejected god because of Christians treatment of me. As a parent, when I see a struggling kid I immediately pray for the parent and recognize that it maybbe nothing they’ve done. I’ve watched amazing connected parents have children walk away from them. I’ve walked Punitive Controlling parents with amazing kids. Same w abuse- I’ve seen adults from abusive relationships become amazing godly people. I’ve seen people
From abusive Relationships become pedophiles.

When it Comes down to it, it’s really up To our children and God. We must “raise our Children In The way they must go” but ultimately it’s between them and God.

When I get scared and try to Control Them, I preach this to
Myself.
