This teen parenting is not for the faint of heart, but I know it is a tool in God's hand for our good and theirs.

That's...Yes, you're right about the layers. That's a good way of looking at it. My oldest is 11, so I'm thankful to you for sharing your mesons from boundary boot camp! :)<br /><br /><br />I'd like to point my readers toward your social media profiles. I've found your Bloglovin' and Facebook pages - please let me know if there are other profiles you'd like included as well.

Even though I learned boundaries and release many times, each time it goes a little deeper and I comprehend more and surrender more. Raising a teen is like boundary boot camp for me. God has a use for this season for my good and to bless our family. I always love when you come by and read and let me know you were here. I am so honored to be featured! Thank you.

But you've prompted me to consider how I might be clinging to control over people in ways I've never realized. I'll be chewing on this one for a while, to be sure. <br /><br /><br />I'm glad you linked up with us at Grace & Truth!

We can only control ourselves. It took me a while to realized and accept that though. But it's liberating and fulfilling once done. :)<br /><br />Blessings!Lux @ About Life and Lovehttp://www.aboutlifeandlove.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-39893598739737818302015-04-20T22:24:10.858-07:002015-04-20T22:24:10.858-07:00My eldest turns 11 soon.

But I hear a small whisper telling me that perfect Love cast out fear, not to be afraid of a new season, He is in control. Thanks for the confirmation Patty.Paola Collazonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-24932058587355799152015-04-18T19:06:55.040-07:002015-04-18T19:06:55.040-07:00Mary,
Thank you so much for coming here to Hearts...Mary, <br />Thank you so much for coming here to Hearts Homeward and sharing your journey as s mom with me. It is such a great practice to offer choices. I often think teachers get training all us parents could use (classroom management, positive discipline, motivation techniques, etc). It is a personal learning curve, to be sure. I'm so grateful for God's patient leading and support.HeartsHomewardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-12724000442527442232015-04-18T13:03:59.617-07:002015-04-18T13:03:59.617-07:00This is awesome!

Being a teacher, I always provided choices for my sons and then they chose-both choices were ones that I could live with. I guess this was controlling but to my sons they were making the final choice unless that backfired and I made the choice for them. Yes there is control here and as my kids great older I learned that by releasing a lot of it to them, they felt free to come to me to help them with a decision. Somehow it has worked but I am still in the process of letting go of complete control over everything in my life. So blessed you linked this up at The Weekend Brew.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345217407843497124.post-15454704196966755562015-04-18T07:47:55.413-07:002015-04-18T07:47:55.413-07:00Thanks, Leah, for coming by and for commenting.

Not one ounce of profit indeed - I'm seeing more deeply through the lens of having a teen now what it means to let go and really trust. God is so gracious to allow us to grow in increments.

Over the years, though, I have learned that there is not one ounce of profit in doing that. It only frustrates me, and hinders God's work. I totally enjoyed your post. Stopped by from #GraceTruth! Have a wonderful weekend.Leah Adamshttp://www.leahadams.org/noreply@blogger.com
