Welcome to the 3D Ministry Parent’s Blog
May 12, 2008
Note: For two years now we have had a website just for our ministry. Along with that website we have had a blog just for parents. Unfortunately, following a computer crash we lost the ability to update that site. However, now we this wordpress and hope to update at least weekly.
Welcome! A few people have asked me since February 22 if I felt like a real parent yet. Fortunately, before the question I had been thinking about this exact question. My response is simple. Not really, parenting involves guidance, processing, deep interaction, and spiritual leadership. Right now I feel that we are sustaining life more than anything else. While we still have some of those characteristics in our almost 3 month olds we are not able to fully parent just yet. However, it is coming and I am sure you all have smug faces and a devilish grin as you think about what is coming my way.
Parenting is tough and rewarding, sometimes all in the same moment. I always say during 6th grade parents class and Faith Decisions that having a group of parents together to talk to one another is spiritually forming and encouraging to you as a parent and the body of Christ as a whole.
I hope that this space on this blog will be a place where parents can virtually connect so that they can connect personally as well. I pray that this space is affirming and encouraging. I envision this as a place where parents of the students we work with can be informed and transformed. I hope to not be the only writer of this blog. I hope to recruit you as parents to help as well. May God do a mighty work with our families and this ministry.
It’s Worth It!,
Michael
