Ode To Adolescence

“We are crossing over. You are my baby. But I cannot carry you now. You walk alone into a new world. I want you to linger here, but you constantly push. You will change. You will grow. You will stumble. You will rise. I will be soft and firm. I will guide and step aside. I will lean and I will pull. I will be lost and I will be certain. I will reach for you, and if you do not reach back, know that my heart remembers your heartbeat. And I will always be holding you there.”

This quote is from the the article titled, “Ode To Adolescence” @ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/janell-burley-hofmann/ode-to-adolescence_b_1335609.html?ref=parents&ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009

what messes up our life the most is…

“I know sometimes what messes our life up most — is the expectation of what our life is supposed to look like. Entitlement can leave you feeling entirely empty.”

This quote from the article titled, “The Importance of Being the Prodigal Parent” @ http://www.incourage.me/2012/03/the-importance-of-prodigal-parenting.html

a quote from Wayne Jacobsen

Most people think it is about church without walls. It isn't. It's about love without boundaries.

Food for thought… Is it correct to say “I am a sinner saved by grace?”
