3 Keys to Parenting With Jesus

DAY 1 OF 4

I was not natural at parenting. While other teen girls were babysitting, I was busy with worldly things. No mama in her right mind would trust me with her babies.

By the time I finally straightened out, settled down, and surrendered to Jesus, my biological time clock was clanging away—but I was terrified of growing my own human. It’s a daunting responsibility!

There is no tiptoeing in, test-driving the plan, or trying children on for size. It’s an all-or-nothing proposition. Fortunately, my man was convinced we’d be rock-star parents (and I believed at least he would be), so we started growing our family.

Wanting to live up to his expectations and fearful of messing up my kid, I started reading everything I could find on the topic. I watched mothers with small children in grocery stores and on playdates at parks. I even volunteered to work in the church nursery to get some experience.

What I learned from observation, casual conversation, and personal experience is, that you do not have to be perfect to be a good mom.

What you need is Jesus.

When you follow the words and ways of Jesus, he covers your weaknesses, fills in the gaps, and equips you to be the best mom for your children. In the coming days, we will look at three keys to parent with Jesus.
