Moms of toddlers. It’s hard right now.

I know.

I was there.

Fast forward twenty-plus years and they are preparing to move out on their own for the first time.

You’re about to do their last load of laundry. You’re about to clean their room for the last time. You’re about to pick up their stinky shoes – one last time.

And it’s hard.

And you start to doubt.

You doubt everything you’ve ever done and ever said.

Did you parent well?

Did you love them well?

Did you model well?

Moms of toddlers let me give you this one piece of advice:

Go to God.

Go to God for it all.

For the good.

For the bad.

For the hard.

For the in-between.

Go to God.

Go to God in prayer. It’s the only way to get this thing called parenthood right. It’s the only way to model. It’s the only way to love. And it’s the only way to make sure that you did in fact “parent well.”

Moms, go to God. Go go God and thank Him for the blessing that he entrusted you with. You don’t want to mess this up.

So, go to God.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
