My 16 year old told me today that he wants to commit his life to Christ. We've been doing devotions together for the past year and just talking about what it means to follow Jesus and it wasn't forced at all. He came to me and said he's made his choice. We prayed together and honestly I cried. This is what being a dad is about. Just wanted to celebrate with you guys.
This is everything. The fact that you've been doing devotions together and he came to this decision on his own - that's exactly how faith is supposed to work. Congrats to him and to you.
This is so cool to hear. I'm still early in the parenting game, but moments like these are exactly what it's all about. You clearly did something right with how you showed up for him.
That's amazing dude. Those conversations with your kid, especially about faith, they stick with you forever. Sounds like you two have built something really special with the devotions together.
That's huge. I'm genuinely happy for you both. At 16 that kind of decision actually means something because he's old enough to really understand what he's committing to.
to join the conversation.
What an amazing milestone. Doing those devotions together probably meant way more than you realized at the time. This is the kind of win that makes all the hard parenting stuff worth it.
