Ugh...now that that is off my chest...why do kids want to grow up so fast? I remember wanting so badly to be an adult, but now, I just wish I could be a kid again. The freedom of adulthood looks so nice...but, as a kid, what you don't see, is the responsibility and lack of time to do fun stuff that comes right along with it. Something I don't remember, however, is my generation being so 'sexualized' at such a young age. I don't remember my mom having to talk to me at age 10 about dressing modestly. Or talking to me about what to say to a boy when he says he wants to be my boyfriend...or kiss me. These are things that I, mother of a 10 year old, am dealing with right now...like today. As in, I just had a conversation with my Big Girl about what to say to a boy who is asking her if she is ever going to kiss him. I had to tell her that she needs a plan. She needs to know what she's going to say in these kind of situations and she needs to let me know what and when she's going to say. Did I mention she's 10!?!?! I don't think I signed up for this part of parenthood....LOL! I guess this is when I rely VERY heavily on Jesus...
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Heb 11:1
