I found this article, and I know that it will be a great encouragement to both Emerging Adults and their parents. It is a great reminder to parents that worth is not based on the outcome of their children, but in the fact that the God of the universe loves them.
Is your identity based solely on God, or are you still seeking to find it in your children? Pastor Tom Goodman offers four qualities of parents who are no longer seeking validation from their children’s behavior.
1. You can rejoice with other parents.
2. You can react patiently to ignorance.
3. You can decide when you have done enough.
4. You can take pressure off other children.
Take a moment and recenter your worth, identity, and purpose in God alone.
