Social Media, Tech, and Your Teen

Respect: We teach what we give

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Parenting with Respect

My husband and I realized early on that respect was very important to us in raising our children. Over the years we watched other families and the relationships between parents and children. While most Christian parents we knew demanded respect from their children, they never seemed to even think that they needed to respect their children in return.

A Grace Chats Story

Have you been longing for connection with other moms who are in the midst of raising teens?  I’ve often said, I wish there were playgroups for moms of teens, because we need that connection as much as we did when our kids were toddlers.

None of us has been called to go this journey alone. God himself is with us every step of the way, but He has also sent others to help us and to be His hands and feet. The…

{9} TWOgether: We Love Together

  As a junior high student, I was so frustrated when I didn’t have a friend available on Friday night. That’s when my mother would make this statement, “You are blessed if you have one or two really good friends.” At that time, I definitely didn’t want to hear that! One or two? I wanted way more than one or two; seven for every day of the week seemed a much better fit!
