A few weeks ago our oldest son turned 13 years old. I have to continue reminding myself that this has taken place because it seems impossible. He can’t be 13 years old, we just brought him home from the hospital. We were just learning how to be parents (STILL LEARNING). WOW! Wholly camolly, I can’t believe my eyes, mind and ears! Garrett is 13. I remember being 13, that was the age that I felt God calling me into full time Christian service. I preached my first sermon when I was 13. Now my son is 13.
I am really waking up to the fact that I need to be discipling my kids. I know you already knew that, but I’m talking about going from knowing to doing. I am working right now on a plan that will take Garrett a year to get through. I’ve told him, that when he does accomplish this year long assignment, I will take him on a trip anywhere in the US that he wants to go. Right now he is saying he wants to go to LA! We’ll see if that changes.
How have you been discipling your teens. I would love to hear from some of you more seasoned parents.
