"We have the awesome privilege of shaping a human being to glorify God.  Our teens are not created for us, they are created to bring glory to God.  We are to partner with God to influence them.  Sons and daughters are our calling, but not our identity…"

Join us for an evening of even more wisdom and encouragement from Debbie about the adventurous journey we are on as moms of teens!

GEMs of Wisdom from  “The Adventure of Parenting Your Teen”   by Debbie Alsdorf,  Design 4 Living Ministries:

WHAT AN AWESOME PRIVILEGE OF SHAPING A HUMAN BEING TO GLORIFY GOD

Adventure =  An exciting and dangerous experience.

Our teens are not created for us, they are created to bring glory to God.                                   

We are to partner with God to influence them.  

Moms, you are one of the most influential people in your teen’s life, for good or bad, you are leaving heartprints on their souls.

Kids learn more by what is caught than taught.

Teenagers don’t want you to fix things, they want you to listen. 

Children are like arrows in a quiver.  They are not created to be carried around by us, they are meant to be sharpened, taught life skills, then released.

Our children are not our identity, they are our calling.                                                                  

Their lives and our lives are part of a bigger picture.
