An awesome post. Tim must be very proud of how his daughter is developing. I, too, am proud of the young woman my daughter has become. Thanks for sharing this. I will tweet the link for others to check it out. Thanks, Pete, for passing this on!! .-= Randy Kinnick´s last blog ..Be Careful What You Love =-.

As a Pastor and a parent of a 22 year old and a nineteen year old, both of whom as young adults are very active in the church and in their relationship with Jesus, (I am blessed) enjoyed the post. My wife and I always tried to enforce a lot of boundaries in our children;s lives. One of the main things we did that I recommend to all parents was that we always knew where our kids were and who they were with.

This was so refreshing and so applicable. I feel fortunate to have this wisdom in my back pocket as I raise my 7 and 5 year old. I feel blessed that my kids are still moldable enough to apply these tidbits at an early age, to establish the ground rules early. Thanks for sharing Heather and kudos to your parents,you and of course Christ for the lovely young woman you have become. .-= Erin´s last blog ..Daddy/Daughter Dance =-.

I’m right there with you Pete. I think I’ll be learning how to be a parent until the day I die. Some great insights here from a girl who was obviously “raised right” as they say.

And to think that Heather babysits my two kids…she’s a rock star! Proud of you, Heather. Not just the words you share, but the life you live.

Leslee and I learn so much from watching Tim and Faith – great parents, great family.

I read this and breathe a small sigh of relief. I pray for my children all the time…..I have four (ages 7-18). I especially focus on my older two boys, ages 16 and 18. And although they are far from Wally and Beaver Cleaver….they are good kids who love Jesus with all their heart. And just with that, I cannot ask for more. It has taken me a long time to realize this, but I have to let go and let God. I need to remember they are His children first and I couldn’t ask for a “more qualified” Guardian.

Sometimes when I get a little frustrated when they have me running them back and forth to our church for youth group functions (which is about 40 minutes away)…I quickly remind myself that I could be driving them to drug rehab, cancer treatments or worse….driving myself to the police station or morgue. (sorry, didn’t mean to get dark with that)

Point being….I am thankful that I have had God to rely on during these past 18 years of parenting (it hasn’t always been smooth sailing) and I know I will be seeking His Counsel for many more to come.
