Feeling Like a Failing Parent?

Feeling Like a Failing Parent?

This is a PSA for all parents who are drowning, frustrated, and overwhelmed. If you feel like you're failing as a parent, welcome to the club. It's been a rough few years around here, and I will tell you that the enemy is targeting our children like never before.

Raising kids in this day and age is proving challenging between technology and all the other things that are going on. It's a lot. Proverbs 22.6 tells us to lay down the foundation.

That's our job. We lay down the foundation. Then, if they make choices that break your heart or become wayward daughters or prodigal sons, we know that the foundation will be what God uses to bring them back home.

That's our hope.
