Just what I needed to hear today. Parenting can be so overwhelming! You should read this, but be sure to read the whole thing.
The Myth of the Perfect Parent | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction
"It is time to acknowledge there is only so much influence parents can have." Scripture has taught us this all along. We are not sovereign over our children—only God is. Children are not tomatoes to stake out or mules to train, nor are they numbers to plug into an equation. They are full human beings wondrously and fearfully made. Parenting, like all tasks under the sun, is intended as an endeavor of love, risk, perseverance, and, above all, faith. It is faith rather than formula, grace rather than guarantees, steadfastness rather than success that bridges the gap between our own parenting efforts, and what, by God's grace, our children grow up to become.
