Parenting will reveal how selfish you are. Many adults don’t want to have kids because they don’t want to be inconvenienced. If most adults are honest, they see kids as something that gets in the way of what they want to do with their lives.
Love this line from Mark Driscoll: If you’re a parent and you say, “I want my kids just to be in the service,” great, we’re glad to have them. And you may wonder, “Well, what if they make noise?” Well then praise be to God, it means they’re alive. That’s how we see it. “What if my baby cries?” Well, praise be to God. It means they’re alive. “What if they’re a little disruptive?” That’s what children do. We would rather have a little commotion and a little disruption than a church that has no children.”
I love having Ava in the service with us and being a part of what we do at Revolution. I am so excited for the day that she wants to take communion and the day I get to baptize her (the same with her brothers).
