It was a time filled with anxiety and heartbreak, and with many questions unanswered.\u003cbr\u003e As she shares her story, she gives you permission to not be a hero or be an unobtainable version of someone's faithful Christian highlight reel. You can be right where you are ... moving toward freedom.\u003cbr\u003e As you read, In her parental journey and counselling sessions, the experiential learning from thousands of parents raised many questions and gives answers to questions such as: \u003cbr\u003e How can parents connect themselves to the very heart of God?\u003cbr\u003e What message does God have for you as a parent?\u003cbr\u003e Can children question their faith in God in a nerve-wracking way to parents and yet continue to function sanely?\u003cbr\u003e How can parents equip themselves with the truth of God's Word to keep sane and fulfill their ambassadorial calling.\u003cbr\u003e What does it mean for a parent to have a well-planned journey for a child?\u003cbr\u003e You ask: what do I do when my child makes the wrong choices? How do I deal with contrary or counterculture? What about parenting guilt? Where is God in all this?\u003cbr\u003e Filled with verses from Scripture, examples from the Bible, and practical insights from the author's own life experiences, this book will help you combine grace, truth, and God's Word to find strength and help children overcome obstacles.\u003cbr\u003e This book points you to the source of joy in your journey by pointing you to God's Word, the truth that sets you free when the journey gets weary. The blueprint still works-not to make you guilty but to liberate you. Maybe you are a parent who is paralyzed by fear of your child's choices. You may be anxious, hopeless, and helpless about your child's future. Perhaps you are weighed down by guilt and shame, caught in a slump, overwhelmed with regret trapped in a dead-end parenting, and numb from a child's choice. You may be drowning in disappointment, anger, shame, and unfilled spiritually so that God and his promises do not make sense.Instead of tying our hope to specific outcomes, let us connect ourselves to the very heart of God. With compelling storytelling and sound scriptural backup, this book gives you the biblical pathway to help you as a parent move beyond the pain of the present to a hope-filled future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucy Watani-Simiyu, a native of Kenya, moved with her family to the United States of America.
