30 Day Mom Challenge :  Picture myself at my children's age  & how I felt ? When I was 15, my parents were building a brand new home & I was excited to be moving on the other side of Garner. I was closer to my friends & was a freshman in high school. We lived across the street from the grocery store & I didn't have my license but my parents would let me drive to the store when they needed something. You can ask my parents & they would tell you I was a good child & didn't really push them. I did have a smart mouth every now & then , but my daddy could give me a look & I would shut up real fast. I was always open with my Dad & never really hid anything from him. I can remember two times when I got caught doing something I was not suppose to do. But he always understood & never really punished me for them.  This is something I try to tell my own 15 year old, but he has different ideas . Its a miracle my life turned out the way it did at such a hard age. I had a lot going on in my home life , that a lot of people had no idea . It was tough at times, but I guess faith got me thru & I knew that I would NEVER take that path in life. My 15 year old & my life as a 15 year old were totally different paths. I do stop myself sometimes & just say he is a 15 year old , let it be. But I swear I think this age is worse than 2 & 3's ! He is a Great kid & I say often if this is as bad as I get it , I'll take it ! I love him so much & tell him all the time, I would let a truck run me over , for him ! He rolls his eyes . I'm very proud of him & I tell him all the time that I know the Lord has Big plans for him ! And he does , you just wait & see !
