Not Too Young預覽

Life isn’t easy. Surprise to no one! We all know that. We’ve all dealt with challenges and situations that we’re not sure how to handle. However, one of the greatest tools to experiencing the best that God has for our lives are the wise adults around us. Yes, I know—no one likes being corrected by adults, and especially by our parents. I have a phenomenal leader in my life, and I value her advice deeply. I know that she loves me and wants to see me experience God’s best, so whenever she gives me advice or corrects me, I know that it’s because she cares about me and only wants the best for me. Because of our relationship, I am wiser and live a better life.

This week, I encourage you to find that awesome adult in your life, too. It can be a teacher, a church leader, a coach, a neighbor, or a parent. Then, invest in that relationship. Get to know them more. Build trust with them. Tell them about your dreams and fears. The next time you come across a tricky situation, ask them for advice. There’s a lot we can learn from the wise adults in our lives!
