Teenagers have no fear! I remember my teenage years. I got the biggest rush from racing cars. I had a Toyota Supra, it was red and I thought I was invincible. I look back now and realize how stupid I was to race people. I could have killed myself or others. I could have easily injured pedestrians or my friends. But when your brain is not mature and developed enough to think of consequences these things can happen.<\/p>\n

My parents raised me with an excellent foundation and faith in God. They raised me to recognize right and wrong and to stand up for what I believed in no matter who was applying pressure. I was able to say no to the peer pressure of many temptations as a teen. But I never really thought through speeding, other than getting caught by the police.<\/p>\n

Now, I have a teen and 3 more that will be teens in no time at all. Luckily I can remember and try to teach them from my experience. However, in a way I am not lucky that I remember because I also remember how I didn\u2019t tell my parents everything and tested the water.<\/p>\n

As a mom I have set a foundation of trust with my children. I have raised them to recognize right from and wrong and to know God well.\u00a0 I have raised them to be open with me about their lives. I will continue to nurture our relationship and teach them about the decisions of this world. As a faith filled mom I will pray to God like I do daily to keep them close every moment of their lives. I thank God that my stupidity did not end my life when I was a teenager. God called me to be a mom and I want to be the best mom I can for my children and God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
