96. Val & Abby share keys to WAITING with GRACE, It's a Growth Thing! The conversation continues a year later

Last week, in episode #95, you listened to a conversation between me and my daughter Abby (at the time of recording she was a sixteen-year-old junior in high school). The conversation continues this week, recorded a full year later, in episode #96. Abby shares some keys that helped her slow down this process, how she waited a little longer than society around her to open the door of her heart to the complex world of romantic relationships, and what important purposes she was focusing on during the waiting.  She hasn't waited sequestered in her house, staring out an attic window, like the fairy tale character Rapunzel, in the movie Tangled.  No, there has been important work to do in the waiting - there are vital GROWTH purposes in WATIING WITH GRACE.It’s not really just about WAITING a little longer, it’s about PREPARING for something that is valuable, and it's about BECOMING who God created UNIQUE YOU to be, not just becoming who someone else is attracted to or that would gain the approval of a romantic interest.CLICK HERE to listen to episode 96,  Books:  Lady in WaitingThe New Lady In Waiting Book And here's a book for your sons:What He Must Be to Marry My DaughterEarlier episodes that deal with this topic:Episode 22 - Are We Going to Teach Our Kids that Sex is Sacred?Support the showVisit Val's website: PracticallySpeakingMOM.comJoin Val's Facebook Group Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyFollow Val on Instagram and her Facebook Public Page Practically Speaking MOM To give a set amount each month click here.
