Establishing curfews is an essential part of parenting, but we don’t always know how to set curfews for our children without them pushing back. How can we set appropriate curfews that our children will follow? And how do we adjust them as our children grow?
Stop second-guessing yourself! In an age where we often look around and compare, we must stop second-guessing if we are doing enough. We can live the life we are called to live more confidently.
When worry starts to enter our thoughts, we need to turn concerns into confidence that comes from the Lord. Do you feel the need to be productive when life requires that you slow down? Katie Reid, the author of Made Like Martha, joins me to discuss how to be peaceful and not panic, settle, not striving, and take life one day at a time with joy during a crisis. You can turn your concerns into confidence that comes from the Lord!
