Comments for my thoughts | michael wallace http://michaelbwallace.com a snapshot of my life and ministry Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:48:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on 161 by Nancy http://michaelbwallace.com/2011/12/27/161/#comment-382 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:48:16 +0000 https://michaelbwallace.wordpress.com/?p=1135#comment-382 What a great word-picture. Bowling, bumpers, parenthood. Loving patience as God works on parent and child- in my opinion essential. How does each child learn a life-lesson? Intently watch and study the child. Ask for God’s every provision/promise for the one who has to be in the gutter to learn the life-lesson. This may be a long journey… hence Godly patience. Also, proactive. Actively being one step ahead because we truly know our children because we have studied them, asked for Godly wisdom and chosen love over fear. Love never fails.

I am personally really thankful that my parents have found the right balance of guidance and protecting me while allowing me to grow some on my own and make my own mistakes and learn from them. They’ve allowed me to grow into the young woman that I was meant to be — not who they thought I should be.

While I still have A TON to learn, and I’m bound to make more and more mistakes, I know I’m better off because my parents allowed me room to grow. As my mother has always said, “Be a leader, not a follower,” and I think she knew that in order for that to happen that she had to let me go out on my own and only intervene when absolutely necessary.

Parents who hold their children too close only lose them quicker, but parents who let their children go will find they’ll stay close by. (:

Praying that you are able to poor out as much unconditional love as possible and cram as much in in the short amount of time that you have, Cherish every moment. -Laura

Michael, I never knew about that. Definitely a miracle in so many ways. Thank you for sharing that. We have four children and most of the time we forget that they are “on loan” from God. I really needed this today. Thanks for the perspective. :-)

I watch parents go through the things you are talking about, and worry even more. But they are God’s, not really mine. And he does love them more than I ever could. Thanks for the reminder! :)

The number of high school girls doing that is awesome, too. ^^

I miss FC. :/
