Don't see yourself as a product of your parents DNA, but rather as a brand new idea from heaven.
Never underestimate the power that comes when a parent pleads with God on behalf of a child.
I have a lot of special memories with my parents but my toughest one is, I had, as a teenager, a pretty insatiable appetite for beer. The first time I got drunk my father found me throwing up in the bathroom. I was 15, maybe 16, and the disappointment in his voice, I can hear it to this day, and the sorrow that that brought to him. He just felt like a failure as a father, and Id give anything to take that day back because that was so hard on him. In time, my life got better, and his did too, but that was really memorable, one of those memories Id like to forget.
Parents, what are your children learning from your worship? Do they see the same excitement as when you go to a basketball game? Do they see you prepare for worship as you do for a vacation? Do they see you hungry to arrive, seeking the face of the Father? Or do they see you content to leave the way you came?.....They are watching. Believe me. They are watching.
How my relationship with my parents influenced my writing, really not at all. My dad was a mechanic, my mom a nurse.
I was never really lead by [my parents] and didnt sense any leading from the Lord to go into writing.
My parents, they were good, godly people, but they never said, You need to write.
