Chronicles of a Tween Mom By Meg Bucher "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." - Psalm 139:14, ESV The posters on my daughters' doors deliver memories of the wall I dedicated to the stars of Beverly Hills 90210. It's pure nostalgic bliss for me and sheer terror for my husband. But appearing in the mix of their favorite athletes, celebs and motivational quotes are sprouts from faithfully planted seeds. Recently, when my youngest daughter struggled through a string of days that didn't go the way she wished they would, I noticed a scarf covering one of her posters. Many are the nights full of lengthy conversations… and clearly, this night would be one of those. "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made," the covered poster read, from Psalm 139:14. Tweens struggle hard with self-worth as they awaken to realize things don't always go the way they want them to, nor do they make the right choices all of the time, either. |
