Christian Parenting

This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess.

Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching

us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk the parenting

road alone. Hey, you guys, thanks for being here today. I'm glad you're with us on Pardon the

mess. And I'm guessing your life is like

mine and your kids are back in school. It's been a couple weeks and maybe some of the things that

were hard last year, maybe some of the back to school issues you've had in the past are now starting

to rear their heads again this year. And that's why I'm thrilled to have my friend Mia Embrough

on the podcast today. And Mia is a counselor. She's worked with kids and schools.

She speaks everywhere. She's really unbelievable. So I'm totally underselling her. She's just my

very dear friend. And she is so wise. And one of those people that if anything is going on life,

I know that I can call her and she will have just God given wisdom. And so I'm thrilled she's

here to talk through some of those hard things with back to school and how to walk this well with our kids. It also made me think of something

that falls under the category of too much information. And if you've listened to this podcast long

enough, you're probably used to that. Maybe you're immune to the too much information that comes

from this side of the mic. But I want to share something that struck me. And so I have this little

place on the bottom of my foot and I had a little dermatological procedure done on it. And so the

spot that was dealt with is no larger than like a pencil eraser. Okay. Like it is not large at all,

tiny. In fact, I would like probably mock my kids for making a big deal of something that small.

But for whatever reason, I can barely walk with it.

It is like I limp and then my hips started hurting.
