We moms should never build the stability of our identity on the fragility of our kid’s choices. I’m saying it for no other reason, sweet sister, than the fact I need to get this into my own heart. Sometimes bad parents raise terrific kids. And sometimes terrific parents raise kids that chase bad things their whole life. So, what’s a mama to do? Embrace the process. Learn from the process. Let God speak to us during the process. And see the process of raising kids as an on going opportunity to invest beyond ourselves. We get to love our kids like crazy. Pray for them faithfully. Talk to them regularly. Listen to them tenderly. Model honesty and integrity. And point them to Jesus at every turn. And tucked within these privileges is the reward. As long as I look for the reward within the process, I won’t misplace my expectations. I have to rest in the assurance that God sees everything I invest in these kids.
