Have you ever ridden in a stunt plane before? Let me tell you from personal experience: I would not recommend it!

Man, that plane ride was one of the craziest things I’ve ever done. At one point, we shot straight up into the air, stalled for a moment, and then spiraled back down toward the earth. I threw up at least three times.

But you know how the pilot looked the whole time? Not even a hint of fear on his face. He looked like a guy who was in complete control and knew what he was doing.

Mom and Dad, sometimes parenting is gonna feel like a whacky stunt plane ride. But I can confidently tell you that God is in control. And every twist, turn, and roll has a purpose in His flight plan for your teen!
