A BEAUTIFUL MESS
or good kids who learned about the world around them and loved God and people. That’s when I knew. If my kids ended up being some out-of-thisworld genius, great. But I wasn’t going to push them to become something that required them to wear a label of perfection. I just wanted them to love God, love people, and be confident in who they were in Christ. Ten-plus years later as we fill the last few pages of their books with grades, test scores, and photos, I am glad to say we chose the second option, and they have turned out to be absolutely fantastic and exactly who God wants them to be! We get one chance at this thing called life; make sure we are making the best choices for our kids and not the choice that the world and mainstream is pushing us towards.
