2. I won’t do it all “right.”" I am going to mess up. It’s vital I learn to say I am sorry and admit when I am wrong. I simply can’t be perfect.
3. I need to keep letting my kids try & fail as well." They are going to make some choices I don’t love. Yet, while they are growing we can help them learn how to make those decisions.

Our name is derived from Matt. 7:24, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man 1
