When your kids grow, you want to squish them and keep them little. . I love the toddler years. . I love age 8 or so, when kids develop their interests and their personality explodes. . I love ages ten and eleven. Kids are giddy and growing but still have a side of silliness when no one's looking. . But kids grow, and we parents grow with them. . They need us to grow. . They don't want us to treat them little when they're growing bigger. . They don't want us to hover when it's time for age-appropriate, new experiences. They need us strong, with deep roots. . But do you hover? Or more likely, helicopter? Mamas, we need to be grounded in Christ. When we are, we grow, too. . #fledge #fledgethebook #raisingkids #raisinghealthykids #boundaries #family #familyministry #pastor #christianity #focusonthefamily #parentingcoach #parenting #parents

Loving @gemsgirlsclubs and the current and upcoming work I’ll be doing with them! 🌸 Cyber challenges are real for our girls. 😳 If you’re local, join @reason4hope46761 and I for our second Girl Talk event, this time on social media and technology. LaGrange United Methodist Church, 6:30-8:30 pm.

My daughter was in preschool when I first realized she wasn't my clone. She was a product of both her father and I, and becoming her own person, too. It's a surreal experience realizing your kids are not mini-me's. Yet it's tempting to parent them that way. Some kids learn how to please you and they're conflicted when they reach adolescence. They really don't think the way you do or want to do what you think they should do. Sometimes they keep it in and shut down. Other times they explode. And other times they save the hassle and do what you want while saying *&^% you in their head, or feel so insecure they're racked with anxiety because they don't know how to do something on their own without you. Let them be their own person, starting now. #fledge #fledgethebook #rootsandwings #parenting #helicopter #helicoptermom #lawnmowermom #momsofinstagram #family #familylife #focusonthefamily #christianministry #familyministry #pastors #parents #christianparenting #moms

God’s mercies are new every morning, the verse that met me morning after morning when I felt like I failure as I crawled into bed every night. 🏠 As a parent in my 30’s raising teens to toddlers, this was where I was. 🏠 If it’s where you are, you’re not alone. 🌅 And God’s giving you a new day today. 📷 photo credit God and the 10-19 sunrise. 🏠 For the rest of the story, get Fledge: Launching Your Kids Without Losing Your Mind.

Pray for me, I texted a friend. I was facing a big day, yet felt vulnerable and insecure in the situation. I really wanted to go home where I felt more comfortable, or at least to a corner where no one would see me and I could have a good cry. But I couldn’t. I had to do the work I was there to do. A new blogpost on the power of showing up. Check it out. Link in profile. #womensministry #womensretreat #fledgethebook #authorofinstagram #speaker #familyministry #coaching #courage

It was a meaningful two days as I shared the gospel with over 100 women who embraced Jesus who changes lives. . If you need someone for your outreach events, I’m your girl. I won’t shy away from sharing about the one who has changed me and provided hope in my mess. #womensministry #church #gospel #ministry #outreach #outreachprogram #jesuschrist #familyministry #christianity #speaker #christianspeaker #womensspeaker #awsa #aacc #wwjd
