Happy Monday Ya’ll! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I believe you’re going to be glad you did. I have some exciting news for those who are parents of teenagers, grandparents of teenagers, neighbors of teenagers, for those who teach teenagers, and basically anyone who finds themselves mixed up in the crazy world of a teenager.
If this is you, then you know how challenging this time of life can be for both parent and teen. Before you find yourself at wits-end, drop by my blog on Wednesday, September 17th as I interview my good friend, Rebecca Powell.
Rebecca is an author and speaker whose passion is training young people to know God and to live a life of passion, purity, and purpose. I invite you to join us as we’ll discuss her new book, Season of Change: Parenting Your Middle Schooler with Passion and Purpose.
In her interview, Rebecca will share ways that parents can help their daughters with the term “girl-politics.” (If you don’t know what that term means, you’ll difinetly want to check back on Wednesday!) Rebecca will also offer practical tips that can help us embrace all the changes that occur during the teen years, and she’ll cover a topic that impacts every age…forgiveness. You will not want to miss it! Click on the links today for a sneak preview!
CORRECTION!
There have been some mistakes found in the “Power verse” section of today’s devotion. Unfortunately, this devotion was pushed ahead in publishing and therefore failed to go through the entire editing process. This proves we are human at Proverbs 31 Ministries and need your grace, grace, grace. We apologize for any confusion the wrong verse may have caused and we appreciate your patience as we correct them.
Daniel 7:14, “He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” (NIV)
Philippians 4: 6-7, ““Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” (KJV)
Matthew 11:27a, “All things have been hand over to Me by My Father”
Have a blessed day in Christ our Lord!

Looking forward to hearing more from her. So much of the determination of the statistic of why 75% of evangelical teens leave the church within their first 2 years of college, beings with purposeful parenting in those middle school years. Can’t wait to read your interview.

I look forward to reading more about the teen years. With one out of the house already and three remaining (17, 8, 6)…I could use some pointers for the younger ones coming up! Seems I’ve been doing this mom things for years.
Actually almost 20. Whew…
I’m exhausted just thinking about it.

Micca,
Reading your P31 devo just now “In Jesus’ Name” and thanking you for the power of the words you wrote.
I just wanted to take a minute to ask you to please lift my son Nick in your prayers. He is battling cancer and my prayer every day is that God would heal his precious 13-year old body. He is such a wonderful boy. If you met him, you would immediately fall in love with him. He’s just one of those kinds of kids. Anyway, I prayed again tonight after reading your devo and just had to write and say “thank you” and “I love you!”

I enjoyed your devo. I think too often we pray and forget that scripture says as Christians we have the SAME POWER that raised Christ from the dead. Often times, I pray as though I’ve got the power of a nightlight bulb. Thanks for the reminder.
