My latest post over at The Busy Mom, 9 Ways to Point Your Teen Daughter to Jesus, might surprise some of you. Yes, I am a boy mom. I have no daughters.

Then it happens, she becomes a “teen”, a “young adult”, a “young woman”. And you’re no longer sure of yourself, and you begin to question every.single.decision. you’ve ever made concerning her upbringing. You start to give in to some fear that she will throw off all you’ve taught her, and become something completely other than you.

And, you know what? She does.
