This is good news! God will help us raise our children and youth. He will also reach out and help our adult children who have left the next. I believe He will fill in the gaps of parenting and the lessons they resisted learning from us 🙂
God is the author and finisher of their faith.
BUT… We do have to do our part. I believe God helps us “see”which adjustments need to be done for parenting our children.
I have personally regretted times I did not heed the nudge or gut feelings God sent to help us at times throughout the years.
I have also been grateful for the promptings that helped me significantly.
I am grateful God wants to partner with us to parent our children no matter what age they are.

Often, I find many people have things in their heart they want to accomplish, yet they are discouraged and afraid. Some feel too tired to try since they have many obstacles to overcome.
A starting place for them to change is by renewing their minds and gain courage to go forward even when they may feel like quitting or giving up on their family, hopes and dreams.
I always encourage them to pray and read their Bible if they are people of faith.
The Word of God is stuffed with helpful verses that give courage and strength :
“That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT)
After those bases are covered…. I cannot say enough about The Iron Jen Show podcast. Iron Jen’s honesty and transparency keep me hooked on the show.
