Bible Story: Paul Chooses Timothy – Acts 16:1-5 (Supporting: 1 Timothy 4:14)

Bottom Line: When you discover your gifts, you can make a difference.

Memory Verse: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live.” 1 Timothy 4:12a, NIrV

Basic Truth: I can trust God no matter what.

Stop Freaking Out, Mom and Dad!
by Carey Nieuwhof

I don’t gamble, but if I did, I’m confident I would lose the house, the car, and maybe the kids in about 32 seconds.

Why?

As my friends and family have told me all my life, I have a terrible poker face. I just don’t hide my emotions well.

It’s not that I’m an emotional person…it’s just that people can tell what I’m thinking. Instantly. My face tells far too much of a story. And when I try to hide it, I apparently look either frustrated or constipated. At least this is what people tell me.

Which has given me a distinct parenting disadvantage.
