Life under Contruction

Kids my age are always going through things and having troubles.  Some of the many reason are because of absent parents, bad crowds, influences at school, celebrities ect. And many times over I've seen misunderstandings between child and parents, which doesn't help the situation.   You are probably wondering where I'm going with this, but it's something that's been swimming around in my mind for some time now.  As I watch teens rebel against their parents and parents getting frustrated and taking it out on the kids that are causing it, I wonder what the story is on both sides.  On one side, the teen could be going through something and feels like they can't tell the parent.  And on the other side the parent might be begging on the inside for the teen to open up to them but doesn't know how to show that.  I'm not trying to be an expert, but it's something I see all the time.  Rebelling kids is the message that is sent out in pretty much everything we watch, read, and listen to.  Being a kid myself I can't give advice because I myself am VERY inexperienced in MANY things, but I know that I can admit that to anyone and everyone.  A lot of kids my age won't do that, I've had friends tell me that they can't wait to move out of the house and be on their own and it breaks my heart to hear them say that. "Freedom" is what they want, but they don't realize just how much they need their parent's love and advice because they're too stubborn to admit that they can't do everything on their own.  Which leads to rebellion and leaves parents scratching their heads in frustration.  Again, this is just something that has been swimming around in my noggin and I wanted to try and bring the situation to light the best way I could.  But, as we live we see that our life is under construction in some way or another and God is the construction worker making His masterpiece, and this was just to help some realize it and to help them get back on their feet.   Just like it says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11:


"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

To some this may just seem like another "religious freak's" blog who's trying to get you to go to church or something.  But I hope that, to at least one person, this blog and this entry helps in some way or another.

Book of The Week!

That's right, it's back!  The book of the week is going to be popping up every Sunday.  This book is a great one to have teenaged daughters read, it shows the struggles of the modern lure of independence in a feminist world for young women.  As you read about Margret Paget's life struggles and joyful moments the book give an over all warm feeling.
