Our Life & Times

I was going to blog about my argument with Konnor this morning and how it stinks that when kids get a certain age they just turn on you for no apparent reason, and we ALL did it, so don't act like you don't know what I am talking about! BUT, through my blog drafts I have already typed up this morning I answered all the questions I was going to ask you. I was going to ask why kids have to act like b-r-a-t-s sometimes, but I answered my own question. They are seeking more independence, and that is nature's way of allowing the child to do things for themselves, and that is by learning from their own mistakes. If I am always reminding Konnor to do this or that, and I am always checking up behind him to make sure it gets done, how will he ever learn from his own mistakes? I wanted to ask how are we going to raise this boy until he is 18 and not go crazy, well, by the grace of God, and that's how. I don't think Brian and I pray near enough for the understanding, patience, or wisdom we need to raise Konnor everyday, so now I am stating to you that we will make a conscious effort to pray more often for Konnor to make better choices, and so that we can have more peace in our home.
