Have you ever heard someone say that they bit off a little more than they could chew?

That saying usually doesn’t have anything to do with putting too much food in your mouth. It’s about taking on projects or responsibilities that turn out to be harder and more time-consuming than you expected. And at some point or another, almost every parent feels that way about raising a child.

Today, do you feel like your teen is spinning out of control? Like the conflict and chaos in your home is never going to end?

Don’t back down from the role God has called you to. Trials can bring about change. And God will use this period of struggle to grow both you and your teen.
