Earlier this year, a mom reached out in desperation for one last attempt before pulling her kid completely out of school. Since then, I have witnessed her daughter go from daily self harm and lies to confession and intervention in just 4 months. Often a teen ignores their parent's voice, no matter how wise their council. Sometimes, all a teen needs is a consistent person to invest in their spiritual and emotional well-being for them to find a better sense of self. She is definitely not finished (who is!?), but she is learning to go to God.
Keeping our sins in the dark is exactly what the enemy wants. So I pray for more light in the future of mentorship in the CE department!
Reach out anytime. I love to learn and foster open relationships with pastors, churches, school district workers, homeschooling moms, and concerned parents! It’s a wonderful way to bridge the divide often found in the universal church!
