There's this mom that wrote something.

I bet you can relate to if you're a parent.

And if you're going to be a parent someday, you might want to think about this too.

But she's got fear of missing out.

She feels like, hey, I get these kids. I'm missing out on, I was going to be a professor. I can't really

do it right now. You know, this is hard. There are all my dreams going to come true or not.

It's a real struggle for people. You get in your 30s. Am I ever going to really become everything

I ever wanted to be? All that sort of stuff.

Well, here's the thing.

She publishes in Christianity today, and she's struggling with it.

I totally appreciated her honesty.

I looked at this.

I'm like, yeah, I totally get it.

As a dad, you have to do this, too, because there's stuff that you can't do now.

Because you've got kids. Like it's not going to have, you don't have time for it. You just have to rule it out. I wanted to go to law school, got accepted, all that sort of stuff. I had to say, you know, I can't do it. I don't want to say goodbye to my family. Here's the thing that I would tell you that I've learned from people that are a little bit older than me. And is there really are seasons in life so if you're

thinking i want to do this but now i can't my life is ruined i got these little kids and i'm just

dragged down and i'm missing out on all the action well be content with what you have it's a blessing

number one but number two like later on they're not going to be with you forever. They're not.

So, seasons, there are seasons in life.

That's okay.
