Generation NeXt Parenting: Held

Held

Today I'm in the midst of deadline, which means I feel like such a bad mom. I'm chained to my computer as my family does their own laundry, makes their own dinner, watchings movies together . . .

Yet, if this were the only problems I faced in life, I would be blessed. Life is hard. Work is hard, Raising kids is hard.

One of my favorite songs by Natalie Grant reminds me were to go when I need comfort in all the roles of my life. When I need to be held . . .
