There is always somebody smarter than me…
OK, I am pausing…
Waiting for those of you who know me well to agree loudly…
It’s true of course…
and it’s exciting.
Somebody always knows more about something…
Sometimes I choose to let those smart people do their thing while I sit back and benefit along with the rest of society from their work…
Take advanced particle physics for example…
Wasn’t seventh grade math the subject I got my worst grade ever in?
(I could tell you it was the teacher’s fault… but you’d know better…)
I am not planning to take up particle physics anytime soon…
But other people know about things that could really change my life.
When they talk, I listen…
That’s why I paid special attention at church on Mother’s day when Jen Hatmaker talked to mothers about parenting.
Here are the top five things I learned from Jen Hatmaker ….
-
The only one in charge of our kids’ lives is God
-
A mom’s main job is to give our kids God
-
Scared Moms raise scared kids-Brave moms raise brave kids
-
We do our kids a disservice to sanitize their lives and cushion every blow…
-
Motherhood can be complicated – let go of what you expected-embrace what you have
