IN MY LIFE:
How is it possible that I’m the mom of a high schooler? How is it possible I don’t have kids in elementary school anymore? As much as I cherish each stage of parenting I find myself in, I also find myself looking back on the previous stages. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the one piece of parenting advice I’ve received through the years that’s always been true is that it goes by too quickly.
Today, my kids both start a new school and my daughter enters high school. I realize no school is perfect, but we’re praying they each find their place this year with friends, teachers, activities…all of it.
One more thing you need to know: I just found out my friend Jessica Turner’s new book #StretchedTooThin is half-off TODAY ONLY! Get all the details here: https://ow.ly/Qem830lpMjq
PRAYER FOCUS: Wisdom
As my kids start school today, I pray wisdom over them and each of you.
