Excellent advice Corrinne!! This is very hard for me as well. Since I am just learning myself, I find that as I learn and also reflect back on my life without God for 35 years, I don't want my son to make the same mistakes I did and as I learn more every day about what it really means to trust in God and to have faith, I just want so badly for him to feel what I feel and to know how amazing life can be when we do trust in God and how sad and lonely life is when we don't that I find myself preaching and preaching as he's trying to escape from the room. I guess that comes back to having faith and praying that God will guide me in my parenting and through these teen years!! You are right, timing is everything.
